New Pokemon

Team Star

Team Star are made up of some of the most rebellious students from the Academy, split into factions all across the Paldea region. Pressuring others into joining their ranks, both students and teachers have a hard time dealing with this crazy group.

Members of Team Star can be identified by the helmet and star-shaped sunglasses they wear.

Team Star: Who is Team Star?

Mela

Mela is the leader of one of the groups in Team Star, the Fire Crew. She and the group specializes in Fire-type Pokemon.

When battling against her, Mela will be on top of a customized car called a Starmobile, with a stage in front. She is confirmed to have a Torkoal on her team.

Mela Name Meaning: Who is Mela?

Path of Legends: Herba Mystica

Arven's research into healthy recipes leads him on a quest to search for rare ingredients called Herba Mystica. These are extremely rare herbs only found in Paldea, that are said to immediately restore one's health upon consumption. They are guarded by Titan Pokemon, which are much larger and stronger than regular Pokemon.

Path of Legends Storyline and New Features

Victory Road

Instead of Victory Road being the road travelled to the Pokemon League after obtaining the eight Gym Badges, in Paldea Victory Road is the very challenge of beating the Gym Leaders itself!

Victory Road Storyline and New Features

Geeta, Pokemon League Chairwoman

Geeta is the Chairwoman of Paldea's Pokemon League, overseeing the operation of all the Gyms in the region. Among the Champion-ranked trainers, she is looked up to as the strongest Trainer in all of Paldea.

New Gym Leader: Brassius

Brassius is the Gym Leader of Artazon Gym, known as the Verdant Virtuoso as he specializes in Grass-type Pokemon.

Two of his confirmed Pokemon include a Smoliv, and a Sudowoodo that he can Terastallize into a Grass-type.

Brassius Name Meaning: Who is Brassius?

Gym Tests

Prior to challenging a Gym, players must go through a Gym Test to see if they are worthy of battling the Gym Leader. These tests are unique to each town, and provide some insight about the town, its residents, and the Gym Leader!
All Gym Leader Types and Pokemon

Let's Go! Feature

A brand new feature added in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Let's Go! allows trainers to let one of their Pokemon in the party out to roam in the direction you point them to. Your Pokemon may retrieve items for you independently, as well as automatically engaging in battles with wild Pokemon.

Auto Battle

For the first time, a Pokemon can now be sent out to automatically battle wild Pokemon on its own! Using the Let's Go feature, one of your Pokemon can be sent out to battle without the need for orders. As the Pokemon battles, players can do other things such as freely traverse the landscape or watch over it.

September 7 Trailer Start Time and Date

The September 7 trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet started at 6 AM PDT. Check the times below for the time in your local time zone!

What Do We Expect To See?

Similar Content to the Fourth Sword & Shield Trailer

The previous Scarlet and Violet 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 fourth Scarlet and Violet trailer to that shown in the trailer above.

More new Pokemon reveals

Each new Pokemon trailer always reveals new Pokemon, and this one will likely be no exception. The fourth Sword and Shield trailer showcased Cramorant and Polteageist.

A new out-of-battle feature

As the Terastal Phenomenon, a new in-battle feature akin to Dynamax, was revealed in the previous trailer, it's likely that we'll see more about how things go outside of battle this time. While Sword and Shield's fourth trailer showed off Camping and Curry, it's possible we'll see more details of the Four-Player Multiplayer or more details on how the three main stories play out.

Details on character customization

It's already been confirmed that uniforms will limit the potential for character customization this time, but accessories are still available, so we might see more details on how customization works in the new games.

Hints toward a time travel feature

Several hints throughout the games point towards a time travel theme or feature, with Koraidon being from the past and Miraidon being from the future, as well as Professor Sada's prehistoric clothing contrasting with Professor Turo's futuristic getup.

Fans are excited to see if the new trailer will finally reveal how time travel really plays into the new games, be it a new feature or core story element.
