New Characters and Pokémon

Professor Sada and Professor Turo

For the first time, one of two different professors will appear in the game depending on which version players choose. In Pokémon Scarlet, players will meet Professor Sada, and in Pokémon Violet, players will meet Professor Turo. Each professor is carrying out research into lore passed down in the region.

Nemona

Nemona has a sunny, energetic disposition and is passionate about Pokémon battles. She’s an experienced Pokémon Trainer and serves as a friend and reliable guide for players on their adventures.

On their journey, players will encounter many never-before-seen Pokémon, and among them are the following three, which Nemona uses on her team.

Pawmi

In addition to the electric sacs in its cheeks, Pawmi has electricity-discharging organs on its forepaws. It generates electricity by rubbing its cheeks, then it shocks its opponents by touching them with the pads on its forepaws.

The fur that covers its body is good insulation against the cold and serves the purpose of storing electricity. When it feels uneasy, this cautious Pokémon will begin rubbing its cheeks, preparing itself to discharge an electric shock.

• Category: Mouse Pokémon
• Type: Electric
• Height: 1'
• Weight: 5.5 lbs.
• Ability: Static / Natural Cure

Lechonk

Lechonk uses its sense of smell to find and eat only the most fragrant wild grasses and the richest Berries. As a result of its dining habits, it has come to radiate an aroma resembling herbs that Bug-type Pokémon dislike. If attacked by an opponent and startled, it will charge forward in a panic.

It may appear fat at first glance, but in reality, the Pokémon’s body is mostly muscle built by constantly walking around in search of food.

• Category: Hog Pokémon
• Type: Normal
• Height: 1'8"
• Weight: 22.5 lbs.
• Ability: Aroma Veil / Gluttony

Smoliv

The oil that comes out of its head has a very strong bitter taste, and it is not suitable for consumption.
When startled or attacked, Smoliv will shoot this oil out, slowing its opponent down. It will then seize that moment to run away.

In the fruit on its head, Smoliv stores oil made from nutrients it gathers through photosynthesis. As a result, it can go for a week without eating or drinking. It prefers dry and sunny climates, and it seems to spend its days sunbathing.

• Category: Olive Pokémon
• Type: Grass/Normal
• Height: 1'
• Weight: 14.3 lbs.
• Ability: Early Bird

New Details about First Partner Pokémon

New insights on Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly—the three Pokémon from which players will choose their first partner Pokémon—have been revealed.

Sprigatito

Capricious and attention seeking, it may sulk if it sees its Trainer giving attention to a Pokémon other than itself.

When Sprigatito kneads and rubs with its forepaws, a sweet aroma is released that can mesmerize those around it. This aroma has therapeutic qualities and makes opponents lose their will to battle. The composition of its fluffy fur is similar to plants, letting it create energy by absorbing sunlight. It adds moisture to its fur by grooming itself, which aids its ability to photosynthesize.

• Category: Grass Cat Pokémon
• Type: Grass
• Height: 1'4"
• Weight: 9 lbs.
• Ability: Overgrow

Fuecoco

Fuecoco is laid-back and does things at its own pace. It loves to eat, and it will sprint toward any food it finds with a glint in its eye.

External heat is absorbed by the square scales on Fuecoco’s stomach and back, then converted into fire energy. These scales are always warm, and at times they can also grow very hot. Flickering atop Fuecoco’s head is fire energy that is leaking out from inside the Pokémon’s body. When Fuecoco gets excited, its head spouts more flames.

• Category: Fire Croc Pokémon
• Type: Fire
• Height: 1'4"
• Weight: 21.6 lbs.
• Ability: Blaze

Quaxly

This serious-mannered Pokémon will follow in its Trainer’s wake. Quaxly is tidy, and it especially dislikes getting its head dirty.

Its body is always glossy because the gel secreted by its feathers repels water and grime. The coif on its head is slicked back using a rich, moist cream, and it becomes unkempt when dry. It has strong legs and can swim without difficulty even in places with strong currents. In battle, it kicks its opponents swiftly and repeatedly.

• Category: Duckling Pokémon
• Type: Water
• Height: 1'8"
• Weight: 13.4 lbs.
• Ability: Torrent

Koraidon and Miraidon

Koraidon and Miraidon grace the covers of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, respectively.

Koraidon is a Legendary Pokémon you can meet in Pokémon Scarlet, and Miraidon is a Legendary Pokémon you can meet in Pokémon Violet. These two Pokémon are said to have powers that far surpass those of other Pokémon, but details about Koraidon and Miraidon are still shrouded in mystery.

The official Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game website has revealed a new type of card that will be included in the Pokémon GO set. Metamon cards in this set appear as other Pokémon. It will look like a normal Pokémon card, but on the surface of the card is a removeable sticker.

How to spot a Metamon

If there is a Metamon symbol in place of the regulation mark, the card has a sticker on its surface that when peeled off reveals Metamon! There are other cards besides Bippa that turn into Metamon when peeled off.
*Cards with the sticker not peeled off cannot be used in official tournaments.

Ditto

Now here's something you don't see every day… And if you're not looking closely, you might miss it! To find Ditto in the Pokémon GO expansion, look for other Pokémon that have a layer you can peel off to reveal the Transform Pokémon underneath! Note that the Pokémon that rests on top of Ditto can't be used competitively in official matches—only the Ditto itself. In fact, you'll find a little Ditto icon in place of the typical tournament registration mark!

Espeon Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

(Psy)shock your opponents with this Ranged Attacker and its various Psychic-type attacks.

Add some more psychic power to your team now that Espeon has arrived in Pokémon UNITE. For a limited time, you can acquire Espeon's Unite license without spending Aeos gems through a special in-game Espeon event starting May 16, 2022, at 12:00 a.m. PDT. Earn points by logging in, participating in and winning battles, and other in-game activities. You can then redeem Espeon's Unite license once you've earned 2,000 points in this event. This special event ends June 11, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. PDT, at which point Espeon's Unite license will be available at the Unite Battle Committee for 10,000 Aeos coins. You can also receive Espeon's Unite license at any time by exchanging 575 Aeos gems at the Unite Battle Committee.

This Ranged Attacker is ready to take the battle to the opposition with a variety of mind-bending attacks. This Pokémon begins each match as Eevee, of course, and evolves into Espeon upon reaching Lv. 4. Eevee's basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, dealing increased damage, while Espeon's basic attack becomes a boosted attack after a set amount of time passes, causing Espeon to fire a beam in front of the itself. The beam deals increased damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and decreases their movement speed for a short time.

Eevee starts with the Anticipation Ability, which negates any hindrance that would affect Eevee and causes it to become immune to hindrances for a short time. When Eevee evolves into Espeon, its Ability becomes Magic Bounce, which functions similarly to Anticipation when Espeon would be affected by a hindrance. On top of that, Magic Bounce also deals damage to the opposing Pokémon that attempted to inflict the hindrance on Espeon and temporarily decrease that Pokémon's movement speed. Both Anticipation and Magic Bounce go on a short cooldown after they're triggered.

Eevee and Espeon's Moves

At Lv. 1 and Lv. 2, Eevee can learn Swift and Growl.

Eevee damages opposing Pokémon with Swift by shooting star-shaped rays at them. Using Growl against an opposing Pokémon deals damage to that Pokémon and decreases its movement speed for a short time.

At Lv. 4, Eevee evolves into Espeon, and Swift can be upgraded into Psyshock or Stored Power.

Psyshock has Espeon materialize psychic projectiles that it hurls at a designated location, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon hit by the projectiles and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. If an opposing Pokémon is hit by all of these psychic projectiles, that Pokémon is left unable to act for a short time. This move can be upgraded to increase the speed at which the projectiles travel.

By upgrading Swift to Stored Power, Espeon can unleash blasts of psychic power at random opposing Pokémon in an area of effect, dealing damage to them and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. Espeon stores one blast of psychic power whenever a set amount of time passes, or after it hits an opposing Pokémon with a boosted basic attack, and Espeon can store up to five blasts of psychic power at once. After Espeon uses this move, its movement speed increases for a short time. Stored Power can be upgraded to deal additional damage to opposing Pokémon with a low percentage of remaining HP.

At Lv. 6, Espeon can upgrade Growl into either Psybeam or Future Sight.

Psybeam has Espeon fire a peculiar ray in a designated direction. If the ray hits an opposing Pokémon, it will then split beyond the first Pokémon hit and deal damage to other opposing Pokémon in range. These split rays deal more damage the higher the max HP of the first Pokémon hit by the ray. Furthermore, if the first Pokémon hit by the ray has its movement speed decreased or is unable to act, those same effects will be applied to any Pokémon hit by the split rays. Psybeam can be upgraded to deal additional damage to opposing Pokémon that are unable to act. If Psybeam then splits beyond its initial target, its split rays will deal additional damage to opposing Pokémon they hit and leave unable to act.

There's a lot going on with Espeon's move Future Sight. When Espeon uses it, Espeon locks on to an opposing Pokémon, then deals damage a few seconds later to opposing Pokémon in an area of effect centered on the locked-on Pokémon. More damage is dealt the lower the locked-on Pokémon's remaining HP is. While Espeon is locked on to an opposing Pokémon, its other moves will target that Pokémon whenever possible. Each time one of these moves deals damage, Future Sight's cooldown is reduced.

If the locked-on Pokémon is on the opposing team and is knocked out before the area-of-effect damage is dealt, a single powered-up use of Psyshock or Stored Power becomes available for a short time. When Psyshock is powered up, it hurls stronger psychic projectiles at a designated location that also cause an explosion, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect. When Stored Power is powered up, it unleashes an increased number of psychic power blasts and restores Espeon's HP when the blasts hit.

Finally, Future Sight can be upgraded to allow Espeon to deal increased damage to the opposing Pokémon that Future Sight is locked on to.

Espeon's Unite Move, Psychic Solare

Once Espeon reaches Lv. 8, it learns its Unite Move, Psychic Solare.

This move puts Espeon's psychic prowess on full display as it has Espeon throw opposing Pokémon in the area of effect into the air and suspend them using its psychic power. After a delay, an explosion occurs that deals damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and shoves them.

Your opponents won't know what to expect when Espeon enters the fray. Set your sights on the Espeon event to get Espeon's Unite license.
