January 25 Trailer: Everything We Learned

Hisuian Forms of Starters Teased

Hisuian forms of the three Starters were heavily teased in a sequence showing Dewott, Dartrix, and Quilava evolving.

Although little detail was given during the trailer itself, the Japanese official website shows silhouettes of the three forms. Although no type information is given, it's clear that these will be new Hisuian forms of each of the starters' final evolutions.

Spear Pillar Temple Shown

A temple at the top of Spear Pillar is shown from various perspectives throughout the trailer. In Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, this temple has collapsed and only the floor remains, but it is shown to have been completely intact during the events of Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

There is a magnificent temple atop Mount Coronet. Built in ancient times, it is filled with beautiful statues of Pokémon that have been blessed with special protection—including the noble Pokémon. Only those who can conquer the difficult path leading up the towering heights of the mountain may reach this temple. You’ll have to train and grow strong with your Pokémon if you hope to see it for yourself.

Like Pokemon Diamond & Pearl before it, it's likely that the climax of the story will occur here.

Space-Time Rift Over Mt. Coronet

Spacetime Rift Over Mt. Coronet.png

Above Mount Coronet’s peak, cracks have appeared in the sky, staining it an unnatural and foreboding hue. The people of the Hisui region call this phenomenon a “space-time rift,” and they fear it, not knowing what it truly portends. Yet it seems that the root cause behind its appearance might have something to do with a certain Pokémon...

A strange cloud filled with thunder is shown hovering over Mt. Coronet. It's possible that this effect is connected with Arceus, and is likely to be tied with the Spear Pillar Temple shown in the trailer and the events of the story.

New Pokemon and Alphas Confirmed

Text spelled out from the Unown letters was present for the first time. The Japanese version of the trailer includes the words “betsu no inochi”, meaning “another life”, while the English version of the trailer shows Unown spelling out “touch other lives to create”.
