The Pokémon Company jammed a whole lot of rebellious spirit into a new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trailer, showing off a handful of new Pokémon, what look to be Titan Pokémon encounters, and sharing a few story details along the way on this lovely FranCTrode day in the community.
The three Pokémon that were shown off in full are a pair of knights, Armarouge and Ceruledge, along with a wasteland-dwelling crab called Klawf.
Armarouge and Ceruledge share a connection with each other, being version-exclusive to Scarlet and Violet, respectively—which fits their designs. In addition, they are Fire/Psychic and Fire/Ghost types, with more information to come about how they wield their great power.
They might end up sharing something like a pre-evolution too, which would be the first time something like that has happened since Solgaleo and Lunala in Sun and Moon.
Klawf is an all-seeing crab that can rotate its eyes to cover blind spots. This Rock-type is known as the Ambush Pokémon and latches onto cliffs to jump down onto unsuspecting prey, though they can’t stay upside down for too long as they get dizzy quickly.
In the Klawf reveal section of the trailer, we also got a glimpse at what seems to be a new version of the Totem/Alpha Pokémon with a Titan Klawf dropping down to challenge the player. No additional information about how this mechanic will play into the wider game has been shared, but it looks like it will be some form of boss encounter method throughout the story much like Totem Pokémon in Sun and Moon.
We also got a tease for a new engine Pokémon in the trailer and some of the promo art, too. But no official details like that were shared.
Scarlet and Violet launch on Nov. 18, which means more Pokémon reveals and details about game mechanics should continue rolling out over the next several months.
