The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero new Pokémon list

The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will introduce five new legendary Gen 9 Pokémon to the Pokémon universe. Four of these Pokémon will arrive in Part 1: The Teal Mask, while the fifth, and final, legendary comes in Part 2: The Indigo Disk.

It's important to note that The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will also contain over 230 Pokémon from past generatinons who didn't originally appear in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. These Pokémon will be spread across The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. Since this page is focused upon Gen 9 specifically, we won't cover which past generation Pokémon are returning, but, if you are interested, visit our guide covering The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC details.

One of the legendary Pokémon introduced in Part 1: The Teal Mask is Ogerpon, who is described as wearing a 'fearsome' mask by the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website. This mask appears to be decorated with Terastal crystals.

While we're yet to see what Ogerpon's face truly looks like, we were given a glimpse at the end of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC trailer. There you can see that Ogerpon has yellow eyes and what happens to be a thorny vine wrapped around its face. Maybe Ogerpon is quite cute beneath its mask!

The name Ogerpon and the setting of Kitakami seemingly being inspired by Japan suggests that Ogerpon has been inspired by oni - demon-like creatures from Japanese folklore.

Part 1: The Teal Mask will also introduce Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti. The official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website explains that these three Pokémon are 'beloved by the people of the village as heroes' as they 'protected the land of Kitakami in the past'. In thanks the villagers created stone statues of these Pokémon.

Okidogi resembles a dog, Munkidori is clearly inspired by monkeys and Fezandipiti could take inspiration from a pheasant. Keeping these three designs in mind, there's a chance all three Pokémon may be inspired by a character from Japanese folklore, Momotarō.

Born from a giant peach, Momotarō befriended a talking dog, monkey and pheasant on his journey to defeat a band of oni. If these three Pokémon are inspired by Momotarō then maybe they will be connected to Ogerpon in a similar manner in the Pokémon universe...

Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti.

The Teal Mask DLC also introduced three new Gen 9 Pokémon. The first two, Poltchageist and Sinistcha, are Grass and Ghost-type Pokémon. These Pokémon are awfully similar to two Pokémon from Gen 8 and even have Artisan and Counterfeit forms for you to collect.

The final new Pokémon introduced as part of The Teal Mask is Dipplin - a new evolution for Applin from Gen 8. Dipplin is a Grass and Dragon-type Pokémon which resembles a candy apple.

Terapagos is the legendary Pokémon arriving in Part 2: The Indigo Disk.

Interestingly, this technically isn't Terapagos' first appearance since a sketch which looks awfully similar to this Pokémon appears in both the Scarlet and Violet books. The entry accompanying the sketch talks about how the author encountered the Pokémon in the depths of Area Zero and how it resembles a 'mysterious, brilliant disk.'

Terapagos takes obivious inspiration from turtles and could be a reference to the world turtle, which is the believe that the world is flat and held aloft by four elephants on the back of a turle. (Think of Discworld's Great A'Tuin.) This idea comes from the fact that Terapagos' body resembles the geography of Paldea, with the central crystal being Great Crater of Paldea.

Terapagos' shell is also decorated with the 18 Pokémon type icons and, considering its crystal-like design, we have to wonder if this legendary is connected to Terastallizing...

Terapagos will also have a stage one evolution, but, at the time of writing, we don't know its name.

The Indigo Disk will also bring Duraludon from Gen 8's new evolution - Archaludon. This Pokémon will be a Steel and Dragon-type.

Finally, The Indigo Disk sees the introduction of two new Paradox Pokémon - Raging Bolt and Iron Crown. Going by their design, it feels safe to assume that Raging Bolt will be exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet, while Iron Crown will be exclusive to Pokémon Violet.

Pokémon Day 2023 new Pokémon list

Two new Paradox Pokémon were introduced as part of the Pokémon Day 2023 celebrations - Walking Wake and Iron Leaves. The existence of these Pokémon had been hinted at within the pages of the Scarlet and Violet Books of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Outside of trading, Walking Wake and Iron Treads can only be caught through Tera Raids. You can also only have one Walking Wake and Iron Treads per save file, which means, if you already have one of these Pokémon, you can not have another.

Walking Wake and Iron Treads are also only available in Tera Raids for a limited-time period, with the original release window being between Monday, 27th February at 7am PST / 3pm GMT to Sunday, 12th March at 4:59pm PST / 11pm GMT.

Below you'll find some interesting information about both Walking Wake and Iron Treads:

Walking Wake

Type - Water / DragonCategory - Paradox PokémonHeight - 3.5 mWeight - 280 kgAbility - Protsynthesis

Walking Wake is a prehistoric version of the Gen 3 legendary Pokémon, Suicune. While it does share some of Suicune's design elements, like the diamond markings, Walking Wake has a far more dragon-like appearance when compared to the legendary dog.

The official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website describes Walking Wake as bearing a 'uniquely shaped set of horns on its forehead' and that it 'supports its weight with just its hind legs and walks bipedally.'

Iron Leaves

Type - Grass / PsychicCategory - Paradox PokémonHeight - 1.5 mWeight - 120 kgAbility - Quark Drive

Iron Leaves is a futuristic version of Virizon and looks very similar to the Gen 5 legendary Pokémon, with the main difference being how Iron Leaves is clearly a robot.

The official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website describe Iron Leaves as having 'a smooth, glossy body that has a metallic texture, and apparently the glowing parts on its forehead and neck sometimes transform to look like longswords.'

When you get this Pokémon in Scarlet, its Pokédex entry will say, 'The fiery bird changes shape when Skeledirge sings. Rumour has it that the bird was born when the fireball on Skeledirge's head gained a soul.'

Quaxly

When you get Quaquaval in Scarlet, its Pokédex entry will read 'A single kick from a Quaquaval can send a truck rolling. This Pokémon uses its powerful legs to perform striking dances from far-off lands.'

Meanwhile, in Pokémon Violet, its Pokédex entry explains that 'Dancing in ways that evoke far-away places, this Pokémon mesmerizes all that see it. Flourishes of its decorative water feathers slice into its foes.'

Oinkologne is the evolution of Lechonk, with the evolution occuring at Level 18 or above.

Oinkologne's Pokédex entry doesn't just differ between Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but between Male and Female. The entry for a Male Oinkologne in Scarlet read, 'Oinkologne is proud of its fine, glossy skin. It emits a concentrated scent from the tip of its tail.'

The entry for a Female Oinkologne in Scarlet, meanwhile, explains that 'This is a meticulous Pokémon that likes to keep things tidy. It shrouds itself in a floral aroma that soothes the Pokémon around it.'

Tarountula

This little spider can be caught in both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

When you add Tarountula to your Pokédex in Scarlet, its entry will read, 'The ball of threads wrapped around its body is elastic enough to deflect the scythes of Scyther, this Pokémon's natural enemy.'

Meanwhile, in Violet, the Pokédex will tell you, 'The thread it secretes from its rear is as strong as wire. The secret behind the thread's strength is the topic of ongoing research.'

Spidops

Type - BugCategory - Trap PokémonHeight - 1 mWeight - 16.5 kgAbility - Insomnia

Spidops is the final evolution of Tarountula, with the evolution occuring at Level 15.

If you're playing Pokémon Scarlet, then the Pokédex will tell you, 'It clings to branches and ceilings using its threads and moves without a sound. It takes out its prey before the prey even notices it.'

Violet players, however, will learn this from the Pokédex - 'Spidops covers its territory in tough, sticky threads to set up traps for intruders.'

Nymble

Type - BugCategory - Grasshopper PokémonHeight - 0.2 mWeight - 1 kgAbility - Swarm

Nymble can be found in both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

The Pokédex in Scarlet tells us that Nymble - 'It has its third set of legs folded up. When it's in a tough spot, this Pokémon jumps over 30 feet using the strength of its legs.'

When you caught this Pokémon in Violet, the Pokédex will read, 'It's highly skilled at a fighting style in which it uses its jumping capabilities to dodge incoming attacks while also dealing damage to opponents.'

Lokix

Type - Bug / DarkCategory - Grasshopper PokémonHeight - 1 mWeight - 17.5 kgAbility - Swarm

Lokix is the final evolution of Nymble and you'll have to reach Level 24 or above for this evolution to occur.

By obtaining a Lokix in Pokémon Scarlet, your Pokédex will gain the following entry, 'When it decideds to fight all out, it stands on its previously folded legs to enter Showdown Mode. It neutralizes its enemies in short order.'

If you're playing Violet, however, then your Pokédex will explain, 'It uses its normally folded third set of legs when in Showdown Mode. This places a huge burden on its body, so it can't stay in this mode for long.'

Pawmi

Type - ElectricCategory - Mouse PokémonHeight - 0.3 mWeight - 2.5 kgAbility - Static or Natural Cure

On the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website, Pawmi is described as follows 'Not only is the fur that covers its body good insulation against the cold, but it also 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.'

Pawmo

Type - Electric / FightingCategory - Mouse PokémonHeight - 0.4 mWeight - 6.5 kgAbility - Static or Natural Cure

Pawmo is the second evolution of Pawmi, with the evolution occuring at Level 18 or above.

When you obtain a Pawmo in Scarlet, the Pokédex explains that, 'When its group is attacked, Pawmo is the first to leap into battle, defeating enemies with a fighting technique that utilizes electric shocks.'

Trainers playing Violet, however, will find the Pokédex saying this about Pawmo - 'Pawmo uses a unique fighting technique in which it uses its forepaws to strike foes and zap them with electricity from its paw pads simultaneously.'

Pawmot

Type - Electric / FightingCategory - Hands-On PokémonHeight - 0.9 mWeight - 41 kgAbility - Volt Absorb or Natural Cure

Pawmot is the final evolution of Pawmi and, if you want to get this Pokémon, then you need to walk 1000 steps in Let's Go mode with Pawi before levelling it up.

Once you've obtained a Pawmot in Scarlet, the Pokédex will read, 'This Pokémon normally is slow to react, but once it enters battle, it will strike down its enemies with lightning-fast movements.'

If you're playing Violet, however, you will learn this from Pawmot's Pokédex entry, 'Pawmot's fluffy fur acts as a battery. It can store the same amount of electricity as an electric car.'

Tandemaus

Type - NormalCategory - Couple PokémonHeight - 0.3 mWeight - 1.8 kgAbility - Run Away or Pickup

Tandemaus can be caught in both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

If you catch these pair of mice in Scarlet, the Pokédex will read, 'Exhibiting great teamwork, they use their incisors to cut pieces out of any material that might be useful for a nest, then make off with them.'

Players in Violet, however, will learn this about Tandemaus from the Pokédex, 'The pair sticks together no matter what. They split any food they find exactly in half and then eat it together.'

Maushold

Type - NormalCategory - Family PokémonHeight - 0.3 mWeight - 2.3 kg or 2.8 kg (Form dependant)Ability - Friend Guard or Cheek Pounch

Maushold evolves from Tandemaus at Level 25, but you won't watch this evolution occur. It's form, however, can differ after the evolution occurs.

Since Maushold has two different forms - one where they had two children and a second where they've only had one - the Pokédex has specific entries for both forms. In Scarlet, the entry for one child read: 'They build huge nests with many rooms that are used for different purposes, such as eating and sleeping.'

The entry for a Maushold with two children in Scarlet read, 'The two little ones just appeared one day. The group might be a family of related Pokémon, but nobody knows for sure.'

Fidough

Type - FairyCategory - Puppy PokémonHeight - 0.3 mWeight - 10.9 kgAbility - Own Tempo

On the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website, Fidough is described as having 'moist, smooth skin' which has 'elastic qualities and is both firm and soft at the same time.' This skin allows Fidough to intimidate its enemies by 'puffing up their bodies to appear bigger.'

The website continues to explain that 'Fidough ferments things in its vicinity using the yeast in its breath. Said yeast is useful for cooking, so this Pokémon has been protected by people since long ago.'

Really sounds like we've got a dough dog on our hands...

Dachsbun

Type - FairyCategory - Dog PokémonHeight - 0.5 mWeight - 14.9 kgAbility - Well-Baked Body

Dachsbun is the final evolution for Fidough, with the evolution occuring at Level 26 or above.

In Scarlet, the Pokédex entry references Dachsbun baked good nature, 'The pleasant aroma that emanates from this Pokémon's body helps wheat grow, so Dachsbun has been treasured by farming villages.'

Violet keeps to this tradition with its Pokédex entry, 'The surface of this Pokemon's skin hardens when exposed to intense heat, and its body has an appetizing aroma.'

Smoliv

Type - Normal/GrassCategory - Olive PokémonHeight - 0.3 mWeight - 6.5 kgAbility - Early Bird

On the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website, Smoliv is described as follows '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.'

Dolliv

Type - Grass / NormalCategory - Olive PokémonHeight - 0.6 mWeight - 11.9 kgAbility - Early Bird

Dolliv is the second evolution of Smoliv, with the evolution happening at Level 25 or above.

Once you've added Dolliv to your Pokédex in Scarlet, it will read, 'Dolliv shares its tasty, fresh-scented oil with others. This species has coexisted with humans since times long gone.'

Meanwhile, if you're playing Violet, the Pokédex will read, 'It basks in the sun to its heart's content until the fruits on its head ripen. After that, Dolliv departs from human settlements and goes on a journey.'

Arboliva

Type - Grass / NormalCategory - Olive PokémonHeight - 1.4 mWeight - 48.2 kgAbility - Seed Sower

Arboliva is the final evolution of Smoliv and Dolliv evolves into this Pokémon at Level 35 or above.

This Pokémon's Pokédex entry in Scarlet reads, 'This calm Pokémon is very compassionate. It will share its delicious, nutrient-rich oil with weakened Pokémon.'

Meanwhile, the Violet Pokédex claims, 'This Pokémon drives back enmies by launching its rich, aromatic oil at them with enough force to smash a boulder.'

Squawkabilly

Type - Normal / FlyingCategory - Parrot PokémonHeight - 0.6 mWeight - 2.4 kgAbility - Intimidate or Hustle

While Squawkabilly doesn't evolve, it does have four different forms - Blue, Green, Yellow and White. Each of these forms has its own Pokédex entry in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

The Green Squawkabilly Pokédex entry in Scarlet explains that 'These Pokémon prefer to live in cities. They form flocks based on the color of their feathers, and they fight over territory.' While, in Violet, this Squawkabilly form's Pokédex entry reads, 'Green-feathered flocks hold the most sway. When they're out searching for food in the mornings and evenings, it gets very noisy.'

Nacli

Type - RockCategory - Rock Salt PokémonHeight - 0.4 mWeight - 16 kgAbility - Sturdy or Purifying Salt

Nacli is inspired, unsurprisingly inspired by rock salt and, in Pokémon Scarlet, it's Pokédex entry reads, 'It was born in a layer of rock salt deep under the earth. This species was particularly treasured in the old days, as thye would share precious salt.'

Naclstack

Type - RockCategory - Rock Salt PokémonHeight - 0.6 mWeight - 105 kgAbility - Sturdy or Purifying Salt

Naclstack evolves from Nacli at Level 24 and it does look like it belongs in Minecraft.

If you add Naclstack to your Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet, its entry will read, 'This Pokémon dry cures its prey by spraying salt over them. The curing process steals away the water in the prey's body.'

Garganacl

Type - RockCategory - Rock Salt PokémonHeight - 2.3 mWeight - 240 kgAbility - Sturdy or Purifying Salt

Garganacl evolves from Naclstack at Level 38 and continues the 'Looks like Minecraft' trend of the Nacli evolution line.

The Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet will explain that 'Garganacl will rub its fingertips together and sprinkle injured Pokémon with salt. Even severe wounds will promptly heal afterwards.' (Hard to imagine that this process isn't painful...)

Charcadet

Type - FireCategory - Fire Child PokémonHeight - 0.6 mWeight - 10.5 kgAbility - Flash Fire

While Charcadet appears in both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which Pokémon it can evolve into depends on the version you're playing.

After you've caught this Pokémon in Scarlet, its Pokédex entry will read, 'Burnt charcoal came to life and become a Pokémon. Possessing a fiery fighting spirit, Charcadet will battle even tough opponents.'

Armarouge

Type - Fire / PsychicCategory - Fire Warrior PokémonHeight - 1.5 mWeight - 85 kgAbility - Flash Fire

Armarouge will be exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet and evolves from Charcadet after using the Auspicious Armor on it.

According to the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website, Armarouge's armor once 'belonged to a distinguised warrior, and is the source of the energy used for its Psychic-type moves' and it 'uses the psychic capabilities of this armor to control the fire energy within its body and unleash attacks. This is a Pokémon who believes in a fair fight and will take on any challenger no matter how powerful they are.

Armarouge can learn the move, Armor Cannon. This attack may lower its Defense and Special Defense, but its also one of the most powerful moves Armarouge can learn, so, if you want this Pokémon in your team, its worth using.

Ceruledge

Type - Fire / GhostCategory - Fire Blades PokémonHeight - 1.6 mWeight - 62 kgAbility - Flash Fire

Ceruledge will be exclusive to Pokémon Violet and evolves from Charcadet after the Malicious Armor is used upon it.

The official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website describes Ceruledge as wearing 'an old set of armor steeped in grudges and wields blades made of fire and ghost energy.' Due to these blades, Ceruledge prefers close-quarters combat and will do anything, including sneak attacks, to win a battle. You'll want to avoid those blades too, because your life energy will flow from any cut they leave.

Ceruledge can learn the move, Bitter Blade. This attack absorbs the HP of Ceruledge's foe - restoring up to half the damage taken by the opponent.

Tadbulb

Type - ElectricCategory - EleTadpole PokémonHeight - 1.6 mWeight - 62 kgAbility - Static or Own Tempo

This electric tadpole can often be found near water sources across the Paldea region.

After you catch in Pokémon Scarlet, your Pokédex will explain that, 'Tadbulb shakes its tail to generate electricity. If it senses danger, it will make its head blink on and off to alert its allies.'

Bellibolt

Type - ElectricCategory - EleFrog PokémonHeight - 1.2 mWeight - 113 kgAbility - Electromorphosis or Static

Bellibolt evolves from Tadbulb after a Thunder Stone is used upon it.

Iono - the electric-type Gym Leader of the Paldea region - introduced us to Bellibolt during one of her live streams.

According to the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website, Bellibolt 'expands and contracs its elastic body to generate electricity in an organ that looks like a belly button.' This electricity is then 'discharged from the two bumps on eiher side of its head that resemble eyeballs.' Its eyes are, in fact, the yellow ovals above its mouth!

Finally, Bellibolt brings a new ability to the Pokémon series - Electromorphosis. This ability causes Bellibolt to become charged when hit by an enemy attack, which, in turn, boosts the power of the next electric-type move it uses.

Wattrel

Type - Electric / FlyingCategory - Storm Petrel PokémonHeight - 0.4 mWeight - 3.6 kgAbility - Volt Absorb or Wind Power

Wattrel is an electrifying little bird whose Pokédex entry in Pokémon Scarlet reads, 'When its wings catch the wind, the bones within produce electricity. This Pokémon dives into the ocean, catching prey by electrocuting them.

Kilowattrel

Type - ElectricCategory - Frigatebird PokémonHeight - 1.4 mWeight - 38.6 kgAbility - Volt Absorb or Wind Power

Kilowattrel evolves from Wattrel at Level 25.

Its Pokedex entry in Pokémon Scarlet reveals some interesting facts about this Pokémon, 'Kilowattrel inflates its throat sac to amplify its electricity. By riding the wind, this Pokémon can fly over 430 miles in a day.'

Maschiff

Type - DarkCategory - Rascal PokémonHeight - 0.5 mWeight - 16 kgAbility - Run Away or Intimidate

Maschiff is both a Pokémon and a very good dog. If you decide to catch this Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet, its Pokédex entry will say, 'It always scowls in an attempt to make opponents take it seriously, but even crying children will burst into laughter when they see Maschiff's face.'

Mabosstiff

Type - DarkCategory - Boss PokémonHeight - 1.1 mWeight - 61 kgAbility - Intimidate or Guard Dog

Mabosstiff evolves from Maschiff at Level 30.

When you add Mabosstiff to your Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet, you will learn that 'This Pokémon can store energy in its large dewlap. Mabosstiff unleashes this energy all at once to blow away enemies.'

Shroodle

Type - Poison / NormalCategory - Toxic Mouse PokémonHeight - 0.2 mWeight - 0.7 kgAbility - Unburden or Pickpocket

When you catch Shroodle in Pokémon Scarlet, its Pokédex entry will read, 'Though usually a mellow Pokémon, it will sink its sharp, poison-soaked front teeth into any that anger it, causing paralysis in the object of its ire.

Grafaiai

Type - Poison / NormalCategory - Toxic Monkey PokémonHeight - 0.7 mWeight - 27.2 kgAbility - Unburden or Poison Touch

Grafaiai evolves from Shroodle at Level 28.

The official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website describes Grafaiai as a 'moody Pokémon' who prefers to 'roam alone' and is 'constantly caught up in territorial struggles with other Pokémon.'

The paint seen in Grafaiai's reveal trailer is actually posionous saliva, which 'paralyzes Bug Pokémon' that 'are drawn to the salvia's sweet, fragrant scent.' Once these Pokémon have been, the official website claims Grafaiai collect them, which sounds an awful lot like eatting them to me.

Check out Grafaiai, a very territorial Pokémon! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet

Bramblin

Type - Grass / GhostCategory - Tumbleweed PokémonHeight - 0.6 mWeight - 0.6 kgAbility - Wind Rider

Bramblin is a haunted piece of tumbleweed and, if you catch it in Pokémon Scarlet, you'll learn how it came into existence, 'A soul unable to move on to the afterlife was blown around by the wind until it got tangled up with dried grass and became a Pokémon.'

Brambleghast

Type - Grass / GhostCategory - Tumbleweed PokémonHeight - 1.2 mWeight - 6 kgAbility - Wind Rider

Brambleghast evolves from Bramblin after you've walked 1000 steps with Bramblin in Let's Go mode and then levelled up the Pokémon.

No matter how you obtain Brambleghast in Pokémon Scarlet, its Pokédex entry will read, 'It will open the branches of its head to envelop its prey. Once it absorbs all the life energy it needs, it expels the prey and discards it.

Toedscool

Type - Ground / GrassCategory - Woodear PokémonHeight - 0.9 mWeight - 33 kgAbility - Mycelium Might

Toedscool is a reimagined version of Tentacool from Gen 1, but, rather than having a set of tentacles, it has two funky little legs.

After adding Toedscool to your Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet, you'll learn that, 'Toedscool lives in muggy forests. The flaps that fall from its body are chewy and very delicious.' (I'll take the games word on that...)

Toedscruel

Type - Ground / GrassCategory - Woodear PokémonHeight - 1.9 mWeight - 58 kgAbility - Mycelium Might

Toedscruel evolves from Toedscool at Level 30.

From Toedscruel's Pokémon Scarlet Pokédex entry, you can learn that 'These Pokémon gather into groups and form colonies deep within forests. They absolutely hate it when strangers approach.'

Klawf

Type - RockCategory - Ambush PokémonHeight - 1.3 mWeight - 79 kgAbility - Anger Shell or Shell Armor

Klawf is a crab who enjoys climbing onto cliffs so it can ambush its prey. According to the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website, Klawf 'eventually gets dizzy from the blood rushing to its head' when hanging upside down on cliffs, so it doesn't stay in this position for long.

Avoiding Klawf's claws is a must, because, once caught, this Pokémon's prey can not escape its grasp. Klawf 'uses one claw to hold its opponent in place while using the other to break its guard and hit it where it hurts.' These claws are also considered a valuable cooking ingredient in the Paldea region - maybe they go well with a side of Slowpoke tails?

The Anger Shell is a new Ability to the Pokémon series where, when Pokémon's HP drops to half or less, it becomes angry. In this state, the Pokémon's Defense and Special Defense are lowered, but its Attack, Special Attack and Attack recieve a boost.

Capsakid

Type - GrassCategory - Spicy Pepper PokémonHeight - 0.3 mWeight - 3 kgAbility - Chlorophyll or Insomnia

When you add Capsakid to your Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet, you'll learn that, 'The more sunlight this Pokémon bathes in, the more spicy chemicals are produced by its body, and thus the spicier its moves become.'

Scovillain

Wiglett

Type - WaterCategory - Garden Eel PokémonHeight - 1.2 mWeight - 1.8 kgAbility - Gooey / Rattled

Wiglett, despite its appearance and name, is not related to Diglett. Appartently it's all one big conincidence, which, if you ask me, sounds a little suspicious.

Putting my personal Pokémon conspiracy theories aside, you can find Wiglett on the beaches of the Paldea region. There it burrows through the sand and emerges to feed in the ocean. Wiglett is known for having an amazing sense of smell, being able to pick up scents from over 60 feet away according to the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website, and, when it sniffs out another Pokémon, it hides beneath the sand.

While Palafin's Zero Form looks incredibly similar to Finizen, switching out a Pokémon for Palafin in battle will transform it into this Pokémon's Hero Form.

Palafin has two Pokédex entries in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for both of its forms. The Hero Form Pokédex entry in Pokémon Scarlet explains that 'This hero of the ocean swims at a speed of 50 knots and saves drowning people and Pokémon.'

Sadly, 'Greavard will slowly and inadvertently absorb the life-force of those around it, so it's best not to play with it too much.'

The candle atop Greavard's head brings Litwick to mind and this little light can be seen on the surface when Greavard sleeps beneath the ground - quite fitting for a ghost-type who's name resembles graveyard.
