As mentioned above, this upgrade can only be found through the Indigo Disk DLC. That means trainers will have to have purchased the Gen 9 expansion and traveled to Blueberry Academy themselves.

Players will be able to unlock the ability to upgrade the Lock-On feature by completing a few main story objectives. Specifically, trainers will meet the Blueberry Academy Elite Four member Drayton, who will allow you to join the BB League club.

After a brief tutorial introducing BP, or Battle Points, you will be able to look through the Blueberry League PC for a variety of upgrades. Among those featured is a request from the Photography Club.

You will need to spend 200 BP to support the Photography Club, which upgrades the Lock-On functionality.

The upgraded Lock-On feature lets players learn more information about a Pokemon species you’ve caught before. Now, you will be able to see the Pokemon’s gender, size, and whether or not it has a Mark.

And there you have it! That’s everything you need to know about upgrading the Lock-On feature in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC. For more helpful Scarlet & Violet guides, check out the links below:
