and Baneful Fox Pokémon
respectively. Here's the announcement video:
The BDSP trailer covers various features of the game, such as gym leaders, Team Galactic, and the lake trio
of Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie.
A new trailer for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl has been released. This one announces Ramanas Park, a new area in the same place that Pal Park was in the original games. Special Slates
can be found throughout the Sinnoh region and taken to Ramanas Park, which allows the player to encounter certain legendaries from the first four generations.
Here's the trailer:
A new video has been release for the upcoming game, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, featuring a new form of Voltorb. Like the original Voltorb, it looks similar to a Poké Ball - however as this game is set in the past the Poké Balls are made of wood, and so Hisuian Voltorb is Electric/Grass type.
A new trailer for Pokémon Legends: Arceus has dropped, and reveals two rival clans: Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan. They are led by Adaman and Irida respectively. According to the press release:
The people of the Diamond Clan often speak of the importance of cherishing the present and living in the moment with one’s allies. On the other hand, members of the Pearl Clan frequently advocate the importance of valuing the vast, spacious land shared with others.
The trailer is below, which also announces the Ginkgo Guild

The latest Pokémon Presents
has just finished airing, and announced brand new Pokémon games, titled Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

The legendary Pokémon that will appear on the game covers are Koraidon and Miraidon. No more details about them were revealed. See below for official artwork.
A new Pokémon Presents has just finished airing, and revealed new Pokémon and features for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. The region is known as Paldea and the games have been confirmed to be open world, with the gyms being completable in any order. Part of the story involves enrolling in an academy as a student - Naranja Academy
in Scarlet or Uva Academy
in Violet - and taking on a Treasure Hunt
.
The full Pokémon Presents is below; the Scarlet/Violet portion starts at 9:20.
One of the major features is the Terastal Phenomenon, which turns Pokémon into a crystalline form. All Pokémon in Paldea can Terastallize which increases their power. Some Pokémon change type when Terastallizing, depending on their Tera Type
, for example Pikachu can become Flying type.
New Pokémon revealed:
A new Pokémon Cyclizar has been revealed at the closing ceremony of the Pokémon World Championships, among several other competitive elements. Here’s the official video:
Cyclizar is Dragon/Normal type with the ability Shed Skin. It has a new move, Shed Tail, which creates a substitute then switches out with a party Pokémon in waiting.
Also revealed are new items Mirror Herb, which copies an opponent's stat changes; Loaded Dice, which makes multi-strike moves like Bullet Seed more likely to hit more times; and a move Tera Blast, which changes type to the user's Tera Type when Terastallized.
Some new images for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet have been released, pertaining to a new Pokémon known as Grafaiai. A Paldean photographer
was apparently trying to capture it but it was difficult to catch in action
. So these images have been released teasing it via a shadow.
More images below.
The new Pokémon, Grafaiai, which was teased two days ago, has been unveiled in a new video styled as camera trap
footage:
It described the markings Grafaiai leaves on trees, to attract prey. The colours of its paint are determined by its diet.
A new trailer has dropped for Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet and introduces new Pokémon and characters, including Team Star, some troublemakers at school.
New Pokémon revealed:
A new Pokémon has been revealed in a spoof presentation released on the Japanese Pokémon website. Purporting to be a meeting of the World Pokémon Ecological Society
, it featured several people on a conference call, discussing Pokémon and Pokémon habitats.
Various footage from the Paldea region in Scarlet/Violet was shown. At the end a new white worm Pokémon was seen. It was described as looking similar to Diglett, but appears to be a distinct Pokémon named Wiglett. We'll post further details when we get them. The full original presentation can be viewed here.
UPDATE 29/09: A short new trailer was released, providing more details on Wiglett:
A new 14-minute trailer has been released for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, mostly recapping old information but also introducing some new features. A new Pokémon, Farigiraf was revealed, which is an evolution of Girafarig. It remains Normal/Psychic type, and can have one of two new abilities:
A new electric frog Pokémon has been revealed. It was teased in a livestream
two days ago, featuring Iono, the Electric type gym leader of Levincia, Paldea. In today's video the Pokémon was revealed as Bellibolt.
A second trailer has now been released, showing Bellibolt in action:
A new teaser trailer has aired, showing a new ghost dog Pokémon. It was later revealed to be named Greavard, and a new trailer released showing it in-game:
Greavard is Ghost type and has the ability Pickup.
It's been a while since I posted about any updates to the site but minor amendments are always being done, particularly for ongoing games like Pokémon GO. And over the past few months a few larger changes have been made.
The biggest is a complete overhaul of the egg move parents section. Previously we only had one page per Pokémon which showed the latest game, and omitted alternate forms which can have different egg moves. It worked well enough in the past as the details didn't change much across generations, but with recent games having limited Pokédexes (Pokédices?) it was becoming less and less helpful. So this content has now been expanded for each set of games and moved to the bottom of the moves by generation
page, with tabs for alternate forms.
The second new page is a Pokémon text list generator. It's a simple tool to grab a plain text list of Pokémon. There are various options to show forms, types and base stats, or filter by generation/type. The output can be pasted into a spreadsheet or a text editor for further analysis/manipulation. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
A new Pokémon
has surfaced, following Dratini Community Day in Pokémon GO (which runs from 2-5pm on Saturday 5th). Yesterday its model was found in GO data and leaked by PokeMiners on Twitter.
At 5pm, this creature begins following the player around the map, however, it is not catchable (and may not be a real Pokémon, in the vein of Zygarde cells). Several PokéStops turn gold and many items can be acquired from them, including a ?????? Coin
which is apparently from the Paldea region.
UPDATE: a new website chest.pokemon.com was unveiled by the Pokémon Twitter account. It has a treasure chest which updates periodically. As I discovered, it's set to update at specific intervals, concluding at 24 hours and 999 coins (1pm GMT/6am PT), with something else happening an hour later at 2pm GMT/7am PT - possibly a new trailer!
Following on from yesterday's addition to Pokémon GO, today a new trailer was released which confirms the Pokémon to be Gimmighoul. It is Ghost type and has two forms - Roaming Form, which is the one appearing in GO - and Chest Form, where it tries to get people to give it coins.
The Pokémon GO website also added an update, confirming that linking Scarlet/Violet with GO will allow catching the Roaming Form in GO, which can then be transferred (via HOME) to SV.
A new trailer has been released for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. For the most part it recaps things we've already seen to the tune of Ed Sheeran's Celestial
(which is part of the soundtrack to the game), but near the end some brief shots of new Pokémon are seen. They bear a resemblance to Donphan, and according to the press release are known as Great Tusk
and Iron Treads
.
The two Pokémon are exclusive to Scarlet & Violet respectively, and are part of the Scarlet Book
/ Violet Book
which are ancient tomes written about an expedition in the past.

Very little information has been revealed but it appears to be related to Terapagos (maybe a pre-evolution). The official site states:
This Pokémon is small in stature and not particularly strong, but when push comes to shove, it can crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield. Apparently, it can also assume a dormant state when it feels that its life is in danger by pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and making itself look like a jewel.
