The Pokémon Company has shown off a lot of new and interesting things for Pokémon Day 2023. On February 27th, they had a livestream that showed off tons of new and interesting things for fans of the series. However when talking about the video games, they announced new Tera Raids for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Not only would there be new raids, but they would feature new version exclusive Pokémon, and will only be available for a limited time. Let’s group up with friends and take a look at the new Paradox Pokémon that are coming to Scarlet and Violet.

New Paradox Pokémon are Coming to Scarlet and Violet

The new Pokémon are Paradox versions, which means that they exists in all points of time. These Pokémon are based off of different versions of previously released Pokémon, and represent what point in time they’re from. This could help identify if it comes from the past or the future. Released at the same time as version 1.2.0 was released for the games, let’s see just what these new Pokémon are all about.

During the Pokémon Day livestream, the Pokémon Company showed off the 2 new Paradox Pokémon that are coming in the form of new Tera Raid battles. For Pokémon Scarlet, players can attempt to obtain the water/dragon type called Walking Wake. This creature is a variant of the legendary Pokémon, Suicune. As for trainers in Pokémon Violet, they can try and grab a grass/psychic type named Iron Leaves, based off of Virizon. Both of these are part of an event that starts on February 27th, 2023 at 7:00 a.m. and ends on March 12th, 2023 at 4:59 p.m. PST. Giving players about 2 weeks to obtain the Pokémon. They have stated that each Pokémon will only be able to be caught one time per save. So let’s hope you have a few Dittos or an extra save on hand if you want multiple copies.
