Homage to Hisuian Zorua Reveal

Pokemon Legends Arceus Hisuian Zorua

This trailer seems to be an homage to the Hisuian Zorua reveal from Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a similar found-footage trailer in which the narrator searches for a Pokemon, eventually finding them and declaring them to be cute before meeting an unfortunate fate.

What Do We Expect To See?

Expected Content
・A new Ghost-type Pokemon?

Spooky Ghost-Types in Time for Halloween

About 19 hours before the video is set to drop, the official Pokemon Twitter tweeted a video that appears to be shot from the perspective of a person walking through the trails of Paldea.

In the video, it appears that she is trying to catch a Ghost-Pokemon on camera. A Mimikyu and a Gengar are shown shortly before she is seemingly knocked unconscious.

That in itself is not a lot to go off, but with a video set to drop later with the title ????, it looks like The Pokemon Company might show off a new Ghost-type in the spirit of the spooky season!
