During yesterday’s day, the final of the Pokémon World Championships in London. It was a very busy afternoon in which we saw a fantastic confrontation between Eduardo Cunha and Guillermo Castilla. The event ended with the victory of the Portuguese over the Spanish, although neither made it easy for his rival. After the fight, Game Freak took advantage of the fact that everyone was attentive to the screen to show some more brushstrokes about the new scarlet pokemon Y purple pokemon.
A trailer focused on the competitive
The two finalists of the VGC 2022 have happened that they are both from the Iberian Peninsula. We do not know if Game Freak had it prepared or if he took advantage of the fact that the two contenders were from ‘Paldea’ to release something more information about the games of the new generation Coming out this November.
This little trailer has been unusual. Unlike other times, where we have been taught new creatures, cities or even characters, this trailer has been focused on the competitive. The video begins with a new Pokémon, cyclize. However, introducing him is nothing more than an excuse to show off his new move, shed tail (change tail). It is a movement focused on competition in which we will be able to create a substitute and change Pokémon without losing it.
On the other hand, there have also been two objects:
- Mirror Herb (mirror grass). It is used so that our Pokémon automatically copies the changes in the opponent’s stats. In the example, they show it copying Drum, one of the most feared boosting moves in the entire Pokémon meta.
- Loaded Dice (Loaded Dice): Makes multi-hit attacks hit a greater number of times.
This is how teracrystallization works
They have also taught us in this trailer details about the operation of the teracrystallization. We are shown a Coalossal that transforms using the new mechanic. He then receives a water attack that should knock him out in one hit. However, the attack is not only ineffective, but activates his Steam Engine ability, maximizing his speed. To a certain extent, what Game Freak wanted to show here is that this new mechanic can also be used to create defensive tactics.
Another extra detail that is shown to us about Tera-crystallization is at the end of the video, in which we see a Tyranitar with a ghost teratype that is immune to Fighting-type attacks. Also, he can use a super effective attack of that same typethus solving another doubt that had been generated regarding the previous trailer.
What do we know about cycling?
Pokémon fans who are not so competitive have been left with cyclize, the new Dragon/Normal-type Pokémon seen in the video. Their relationship with Koraidon and Miraidon it seems obvious, both by design and by the tire on his chest.
One of the most interesting theories we have seen is that of AquaticPanic. Scarlet and Purple mark the limits of the spectrum of visible light that humans see. The green of Cyclize is right in the middle, so everything seems to indicate that this creature will evolve into one of the legendary.
Cool little detail I haven’t seen many people mention regarding Koraidon, Cyclizard and Miraidon. Its pretty clear its meant to be a midway point for the two legendaries, but its Green as that’s the midway point of the light spectrum pic.twitter.com/ltZqgY7rqS

And if you prefer a slightly more fun theory, we leave you with this nice tweet from Metapod for President, which explains his vision of how this Pokémon has emerged:
