Fans have fallen in love with Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly; but it was about time we made some new friends from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. In the latest trailer, we met five new species from this open-world adventure, ranging from early game encounters to climactic Legendary Pokémon! PawmiFirst up was Pawmi, a new Electric type that’s filling the common niche of being inspired by Pikachu – just look at those cheeks! This Mouse Pokémon not only stores energy there, it also has special organs in its forepaws that can discharge that electricity. It’s known to rub its cheeks, and then shock opponents by touching them with those paws. LechonkOur first Normal type of the game is Lechonk, the Hog Pokémon. Lechonk here is known to sniff out fragrant grasses and rich berries, and that diet has given it something of an herbal aroma that Bug types dislike. It’s also known for charging forward when frightened, and though they look like tiny chubsters all that weight is actually muscle built up from wandering around in search of food. SmolivThis tiny Grass/Normal type is Smoliv. It (along with Pawmi and Lechonk) is used by your friend Nemona, ensuring players will likely see them fairly early on in their adventure. The oil that seeps from Smoliv’s head is notoriously bitter and unsuitable for consumption, but can be shot at foes to slow them down when the Olive Pokémon gets frightened. That oil also stores plenty of nutrients for Smoliv, letting it go for up to a week without eating or drinking. Koraidon and MiraidonThe final revealed Pokémon for the trailer were our box art Legendaries. Koraidon will appear in Pokémon Scarlet, while Miraidon will be in Pokémon Violet. Not a lot of details were provided on the pair beyond their names, but Miraidon notably has some futuristic and electrical motifs present in its design. Along with some other elements present in Scarlet and Violet so far, this could make them something of a past and future duo, though it could be some time before those mysteries come to light. Trainers will be able to meet these Pokémon and many more when Pokémon Scarlet and Violet release worldwide on November 18th! Pawmi is a Normal-type Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Learn more about its type, evolutions, abilities, and more.
June 1 Second Trailer: Everything We Learned
Pawmi's name may be a reference it's rather oversized paws. Pawmi may be based on a mouse or vole. Several rodent species live in the Iberian Peninsula, which the new region appears based on; specifically, Spain and the surrounding areas. What Country is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Based On? The evolutions of Pawmi is currently unknown. It's likely that an evolution (if there is one) will be announced before the release of the game in further Pokemon Presents announcements or other trailers. It would be nice to see an evolution for Pawmi, but it currently seems unlikely. Other than those related to Pikachu itself, none of the other Pikachu clones have had evolutions. This rings true for Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, Dedenne, Togedemaru, Mimikyu, and Morpeko. Every generation has to have its Pikachu clone! The Electric-type Mouse Pokemon Pawmi will be the representative for Gen 9. Pawmi succeeds Morpeko, who itself followed from Togedemaru, Mimikyu, and Dedenne's footsteps. The official Pokemon website mentions that Pawmi discharges electricity from both its cheeks and its forepaws. Perhaps this hints at a chance for it to have access to moves that inflict paralysis that might help players catch Pokemon easier in the early-game. If it ends up being able to learn moves such as Nuzzle or False Swipe, it can be a valuable addition to any trainer aiming to catch them all! Pokedex: All Confirmed Pokemon
