Regardless of all of the Pokémon information we bought ultimately week’s Pokémon Presents stay stream, it appears Recreation Freak and The Pokémon Firm had much more information on Scarlet and Violet’s upcoming DLC. By way of a brand new trailer that premiered on the Pokémon World Championships final weekend, we have realized that The Indigo Disk, half two of the DLC, can have returning favorites, brand-new strikes, and a mysterious nineteenth Tera Kind.
Proper off the bat, the trailer begins with an thrilling reveal: each previous first companion Pokémon (recognized extra generally as “starters”) will probably be returning within the Winter growth. In most video games within the sequence, starters can solely be obtained on the very begin of the sport, and you’ll solely ever receive one in all three. They’re additionally sometimes unique to each area, so companion Pokémon from Gold and Silver cannot be discovered within the wild in, say, Diamond and Pearl. Extra not too long ago, some previous starters have been out there via post-game actions, however having all of them out there within the wild is a sequence first. Even via trades and transfers, a few of these Pokémon (like Bulbasaur) have not been out there in Scarlet and Violet in any capability, so this replace confirms their newfound compatibility.
The trailer additionally gave correct names and kinds to the brand new paradox Pokémon teased within the earlier trailer. Roaring Bolt (primarily based on Entei) is an Electrical/Dragon sort, whereas Iron Crown (primarily based on Cobalion) is a Metal/Psychic sort. Every was launched with a brand new transfer they’re going to have entry to. Raging Bolt can use Thunderclap, which assaults a foe earlier than their attacking transfer goes off. In the meantime, Iron Crown will get Tachyon Cutter which is assured to hit twice in a row. We additionally noticed two extra new strikes: Psychic Noise offers injury and prevents the goal from therapeutic, whereas Higher Hand will all the time strike earlier than a foe’s precedence transfer.
Lastly, the trailer teases a nineteenth Tera Kind. Proven within the battle UI as a rainbow-colored hexagon, we now have no approach of figuring out what its results will probably be in battle or how it is going to be obtained. The trailer ends with an animation of a bunch of crystals, every themed after one of many Pokémon varieties, forming a crown. For extra particulars, we would have to attend till Scarlet and Violet’s second DLC, The Indigo Disk, hits the eShop someday this Winter.
