Spoiler Alert - Nintendo Survey Email
Heads up that Nintendo is sending out survey emails about Scarlet/Violet (starts out asking you your opinion on open world games then shifts to Pokemon).
This survey includes descriptions of new features in Scarlet/Violet and images of various new Pokemon. It's all stuff that's been revealed in marketing.
So be forewarned, that's a thing.

Sword/Shield Wild Area Event - Small Pokemon
For no reason I can discern, several pill-shaped Pokemon are available through Raid battles throughout the Wild Area and DLCs. This event will go until September 19th, 2022.
Notable Pokemon:
- Shiny Snom is appearing more commonly than usual.
...And that's about it. All three Pokemon are already in the base game and not version exclusive.
They do all give out high-value sellable items, though.
