Pokemon Presents: Everything We Learned

New Terastal Feature

Pokemon Scarlet Violet SV - Eevee Normal Terastal Form

The new Terastal feature is the latest in a line of Pokemon battle gimmicks, similar to Dynamax which appeared in Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Similar to Dynamax, Terastallizing allows Pokemon to change form in the middle of battle. Instead of increasing HP and using Max moves, Terastal Pokemon can gain a new type and have increased power for moves of the associated type.

All Terastal Forms and Types

Tera Raid Battles

The Raid Battle system from Pokemon Sword and Shield is back as new and improved Tera Raid Battles. Unlike the strict turn-by-turn playstyle of the previous generation, Tera Raid Battles allow players to choose their actions without waiting for each others' turns.

A Game Unfolding in Three Stories

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Three Stories From Gyms to Gems

New light was shed on the open world nature of the game; not only can players approach the Gyms in any order, there are two other main stories, allowing players to choose to eschew Gyms and take on each of the three stories in any order they wish.

What Do We Expect To See?

Similar Content to the Third Sword & Shield Trailer

The first and second trailers have followed closely in the footsteps of the trailers for Pokemon Sword and Shield in both release dates and contents revealed. Based on this pattern, it's likely that we'll get similar info in the third Scarlet and Violet trailer to that shown in the trailer above.

Expected Content
  • Regional Forms (and Region Name)
  • New Pokemon
  • New Rivals
  • New Villain Team

Regional Forms and Region Name

Pokemon Sword and Shield - New Pokemon Regional Forms

We're likely to get our first glimpse of new regional forms in the third trailer. Surprisingly, the name of the region itself still has not been announced, so we think this is a good time for both of these to be revealed in one go.

Region: What Country is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Based On?

New Pokemon

As Morpeko was revealed in the third Sword and Shield trailer, we're expecting to get a look at a few new Pokemon, and perhaps one with a gimmick following in Morpeko's footsteps.

New Pokemon

New Rivals

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Nemona

Although Nemona was already revealed in the second trailer, she seems to be more of a friend than a true threat. It's possible that we'll see a more menacing rival emerge this time around.

List of Characters

New Villain Team

We still haven't gotten a look at a villainous team like Team Rocket in Scarlet and Violet yet. After the comical Team Yell downplayed the focus in the story on the villain team in Sword and Shield, it's possible that this aspect will be removed altogether in Scarlet and Violet, but it's also possible that a resurgence in their role is around the corner.

What do you think is waiting in the third trailer? Let us know in the comments!
