The Pokémon Company tease a mysterious new Pokémon that will appear in the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet “Hidden Treasure of Area Zero” DLC. In the new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC, players will leave the Paldea region to explore mysteries of the current Pokémon world.
The new Pokémon appears to be similar to Legendary Pokémon Terapagos. However, this Pokémon does not have a name, so it’s a smaller Pokémon when compared to Terapagos. Pokémon Horizons: The Series viewers also saw the new Pokémon in the first episode of the anime.
The latest details are available below via The Pokémon Company.
Who’s That Pokémon?!
This unknown Pokémon is reminiscent of the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos, but its name and true nature are shrouded in mystery. It 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.
In The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, players will leave the Paldea region and be able to delve deeper into the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.
