On October 24, 2022, a new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer placeholder teased the debut of an additional ghost type Pokemon, and now it’s confirmed that the new character looks like a dog with a candle on its head. The official name for the character has yet to be revealed.
Here’s the full video. It started by confirming some returning ghost-types showing up will be Gengar and Mimikyu. Then, it showed the person filming the footage playing with the new ghostly dog. The character seems friendly, playing fetch with the character behind the camera. However, the more the two play together, the more unnaturally exhausted the person gets.
New Pokemon reveals for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet showed up at a pretty steady pace ahead of launch. For example, earlier in October the new electric-type Bellibolt appeared. This is a frog-like character folks will see in the wild and face when fighting the Electric Gym leader Iono. Grafaiai is a new evolution for Girafarig. People will be able to ride around on Cyclizar. Pawmi, Smoliv, and the legendaries Koraidon and Miraidon also debut in this entry. The Diglett-like character called Wiglett is a water-type that shows up around beaches.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will come to the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.
