New Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Legendary Pokemon

We have two new legendaries to add to the list of legendaries that are part of the Pokemon franchise. Each one respectfully colored to match the title of the game. From the design we see it looks like they’re dragon/fighting type. They have a dinosaur build and looks absolutely terrifying. The new legendary Pokemon are Koraidon and Miraidon.

Non-legendary Pokemon

Bring on the cuteness! The Pokemon that were introduced are uniquely different and have pretty normal designs. We have a Pokemon that falls under the normal type, another with grass/normal type, and lastly an electric type. From what we learned these will be Pokemon you can expect to find when roaming around the new land. Check below to see some of these new Pokemon!

Hechonk

  • Normal type
  • Hog Pokemon
  • Height: 1’8″
  • Weight: 22.5 lbs.
  • Ability: Gluttony / Aroma Veil

This gluttonous pig eats plenty of wild berries and grass as he roams around the region. He uses his aroma abilities to scope out the tastiest treats. When he enters a battle he will frantically panic and charge head first at his opponent. Don’t be fooled by his appearance! As round as he appears it’s entirely made of muscle, so we wonder, what his evolution will be. Will he have tons of strength and look menacing?

Smoliv

  • Grass/Normal Type
  • Olive Pokemon
  • Height: 1′
  • Weight: 14.3 lbs.
  • Ability: Early Bird

Smoliv really does look like a precious green olive. He is not edible. He has oil dripping from his head that prevents him from being edible to eat. Not that you should eat him! If you even attempt to try to capture him he will spew out olive oil from his head at you. This will give him an opportunity to try to escape, however if you do manage to go into battle with him, he will use attacks typical of a grass type. Smoliv enjoys sunbathing, not being consumed, and squirting olive oil when it can.

Pawmi

  • Electric type
  • Mouse Pokemon
  • Height: 1′
  • Weight: 5.5 lbs.
  • Ability: Static / Natural Cure

Pikachu has some competition when it comes to this electric mouse type Pokemon. Those cheeks are pinchable, but we highly recommend you avoid it. Similar to Pikachu, those cheeks are consumed with electricity. He generates electricity by rubbing his cheek and shocking people who get too close. His thick fur helps with cold weather and if he feels threatened he will not hesitate to shock you. Cute by deadly!

Paldean Wooper

  • Poison/Ground type
  • Poison Fish Pokemon
  • Height: 1’4″
  • Weight: 24.3 lbs.
  • Ability: Poison Point / Water Absorb

In this variation on a familiar theme, we have the Paldean variant of Wooper! Unlike its water-type cousin, this ‘mon lives on dry land and covers their bodies with a poisonous film. This prevents them from drying out. They protect themselves from predators by shooting a powerful poisonous liquid from their gills.

Fidough

  • Fairy type
  • Puppy Pokémon​
  • Height: 1′
  • Weight: 24 lbs.
  • Ability: Own Tempo

Fidough is the bestest boy in the world, and it just so happens, they deserve all the treats. Like with red pandas, Fidough takes advantage of its moist, elastic-like skin to puff itself up when threatened. It also breathes yeast, so it is especially useful in cooking. Even more reason to give it all the treats.

Cetitan

  • Ice type
  • Terra Whale Pokémon​
  • Height: 14’9″
  • Weight: 1,543.2 lbs.
  • Ability: Thick Fat / Slush Rush

Cetitan is a behemoth that specializes in physical attacks. It has five horns that can be used to gather ice energy, thus maintaining their climate. It’s a particularly big boy, so be aware that it’ll be about as big as six or seven fully grown human beings. I guess there truly is a variety of Pokemon to choose from, huh?

Grafaiai

  • Poison/ Normal Type
  • Toxic Monkey Pokémon​
  • Height: 2’4″
  • Weight: 60 lbs.
  • Ability: Unburden/Poison Touch

Step aside, Smeargle, there’s a new painter Pokémon​ ’round these parts. Grafaiai are well known in the Paldea region for the distinct, paint-like markings they place on trees to mark their territory. Grafaiai’s medium of choice is its own saliva, which changes color depending on its most recent, berry-filled meal. Gives a whole new meaning to “You are what you eat!”

Cyclizar

  • Dragon/Normal Type
  • Mount Pokémon​
  • Height: 5’3″
  • Weight: 138.9 lbs.
  • Ability: Shed Skin

This mild-mannered Pokémon​ has lived alongside humans for countless generations, and can often be seen serving as a mount for travelers. While Cyclizar are fairly common in the Paldea region, it also bears a striking resemblance to the much more elusive Koraidon and Miraidon.

Armarouge

  • Fire/ Psychic Type
  • Fire Warrior Pokémon​
  • Height: 4’11”
  • Weight:187.4 lbs.
  • Ability: Flash Fire

Armarouge is a powerful and noble warrior who always chooses to face its enemies in honorable combat. The armor that encases its body grants this Pokémon​ powerful, psychic abilities and also allows Armarouge to channel its own, inherent fire energy. Amarouge is also unique to Pokémon​ Scarlet.

Ceruledge

  • Fire/ Ghost Type
  • Fire Blades Pokémon​
  • Height: 5’3″
  • Weight: 136.6 lbs.
  • Ability: Flash Fire

This haunted Pokémon​ wears a set of armor steeped in revenge that fuels the ghostly blades on the ends of its arms. It’s even said that the wounds these blades make drain their victim’s very life essence. Talk about creepy! Ceruledge is unique to Pokémon​ Violet.

Klawf

  • Rock Type
  • Ambush Pokémon
  • Height: 4’3″
  • Weight: 174.2 lbs.
  • Ability: Anger Shell/ Shell Armor

Klawf have several evolutionary advantages that allow them to surprise their prey, including eyes that can fully rotate and powerful claws that allow them to hang upside down from rock faces. This ability can come back to bite them, though, as they’ll get extremely dizzy if they stay upside for too long.

Wiglett

  • Water Type
  • Garden Eel Pokémon
  • Height: 3′ 11″
  • Weight: 4 lbs.
  • Ability: Gooey/ Rattled

Wiglett is an extremely skittish Pokémon that uses its powerful sense of smell to help it catch food and sense nearby danger. Its resemblance to the famous Pokémon Diglett has caused some to believe that Wiglett might be a regional variant, but it turns out that the two creatures are entirely unrelated.

Farigiraf

  • Normal/ Psychic Type
  • Long Neck Pokémon
  • Height: 10′ 6″
  • Weight: 352.7 lbs.
  • Ability: Cud Chew/ Armor Tail

Farigiraf is the newly discovered evolution of Girafarig, and it packs a powerful psychic punch. Its evolution has merged the head from its tail with the head on its body to create a single, unified mind. Farigiraf also brings new abilities to the Pokémon series: Cud Chew lets it eat any held Berry twice, while Armor Tail prevents enemy Pokémon from using priority moves.
