Pokemon Scarlet and Violet New Pokemon

Scarlet and Violet were first presented in a trailer that primarily featured returning Pokemon, with the new starters revealed at the very end. Trainers will be able to add five more brand-new Pokemon to their collections once the debut of the new game later this year, including the two legendary Pokemon depicted on the box art. Pawmi, an Electric-type Pokemon, is the first new Pokemon seen in the current Pokemon Scarlet and Violet teaser. Since Pikachu, each generation of Pokemon games has featured cute-looking rodent animals, and it appears like Pawmi will fulfill that role in the next games. Pawmi is employed by Nemona in the trailer, who appears to be a competitor character in the new games, however little is known about her personality at this moment.

The trailer then shows Pokemon trainers exploring the open world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in a variety of settings. One Pokemon trainer may be seen sneaking up on Smoliv, a new Grass/Normal-type Pokemon that is hanging out in a field. Although no combat is seen, the trainer successfully captures Smoliv in a Poke Ball.

The trailer displays an early-game encounter with a new Pokemon named Lechonk, a Normal-type pig Pokemon who is only at level 2 when a Pokemon trainer discovers them in the wild, shortly after Pawmi and Smoliv are introduced. The fight is shown for only a few seconds, with Lechonk hitting Water-type starter Quaxly before the trailer moves on to other Pokemon that will be featured in the future games.

The trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet finishes with a glance at the game's legendary Pokemon. The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet box art legendaries are both dragons of some sort, with the Pokemon Scarlet legendary being a red dragon named Koraidon and the Pokemon Violet exclusive legendary being a futuristic dragon named Miraodon, as previously hinted at by leakers.

There are currently five brand-new Pokemon that fans are aware of that will debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but there will also be a slew of returning Pokemon. Chewtle, Talonflame, Cryogonal, Larvitar, and a host of other animals were confirmed in the latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet teaser, and players will be able to add them to their collections when the game's debut later this year.
