Ancient Traveller Team Pokemon Horizons Anime
The Ancient Traveller in Pokemon Horizons has had his team revealed! His team is composed of Shiny Black Rayquaza, Giant Arboliva, Galarian Moltres, Lapras, Kleavor, and Entei! Read on for more details.

Ancient Traveller in Pokemon Horizons

Uses Ancient Pokeball and is from Ancient Times

Roy
All of the Ancient Traveller's Pokemon thus far have been in an Ancient Pokeball. This Pokeballl has a connection to Liko's Pendant, although it is not yet clear what this connection is.
Liko's Pendant and Roy's Ancient Pokeball: Hints for the DLC

Has a Full Team of 6 Powerful Pokemon

All of the Ancient Traveller's Team Have a Travel Related Role

Ancient Travellers Team Roles
In the Tale of the Ancient Traveller it is detailed how the traveller had 6 companion Pokemon, including a Black Rayquaza, and Giant Arboliva. Each had a specific role on the team, with one climbing rocks and mountains, one traversing oceans, one soaring the skies, one travelling on land at blazing speeds, and another healing his team when needed.

Shiny Black Rayquaza

Appears Crystal-Like and Terastallized

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Tera Rayquaza Screenshot

In an episode of the new anime series Pokemon Horizons, a potential new and never-before-seen Terastal Form was teased during the episode.

A Shiny Tera Rayquaza emerged from Roy's Ancient Pokeball and shot into the clouds before flying away to Paldea! It was sparkling like a Tera Pokemon, but without a 'Hat'.

We now know that this Rayquaza belongs to the Ancient Traveller, and may be his designated Battle Role Pokemon, although we are yet to learn.

This Pokemon may have implications for a new Terastal form outside of what we know so far from the games, which may possibly be revealed in a future Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC.

There could potentially be new hatless, or potentially even Masked Tera Forms in the DLC for select fan-favorites, such as Starter and Legendary Pokemon.

Perhaps we will even see a 7-Star Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid Event!

Giant Arboliva the Healer

Giant Arboliva the Healer Pokemon Horizons Anime
Roy and Liko came to the conclusion that the Healer is Arboliva, as it returned itself to the Ancient Ball that was around its neck (which Roy and Liko now carry)! It also has been seen healing multiple Pokemon and restoring an entire forest in Paldea! Not only this, but with its giant stature it would surely make a formidable member of the Ancient Traveller's team.

Galarian Moltres the Flyer

Pokemon Horizons - Galarian Moltres
The anime has revealed that the Flyer in Lucius' team is none other than Galarian Moltres! It was seen rampaging in Galar Mines and was quelled thanks to Arboliva and Sprigatito. Tertapagos then revealed it memory to the Rising Volt tacklers revealing that Terapagos was also part of his team.
Galarian Moltres Location, Evolution, and Learnset

Lapras the Ocean Voyager

Pokemon Horizons - Lapras

Episode 25 of the anime reveals the rest of the team. Lapras fulfills the role of the Pokemon traversing oceans, though Liko and Roy have yet to see Lucius' unique version of this Pokemon in person.

Lapras Location and Evolution

Kleavor the Climber

Pokemon Horizons - Kleavor
The Pokemon fulfilling the climbing role is revealed to be Kleavor, the Hisui-exclusive evolution of Scyther. We can expect this Pokemon to appear at some point during Liko and Roy's adventure.

Kleavor Location, Evolution, and Learnset

Entei the Extreme Speed Pokemon

Pokemon Horizons - Entei
The last Pokemon rounding out the Ancient Traveller's team is Entei, fulfilling the role of a Pokemon that can travel on land at blazing speeds.

Entei is currently unavailable in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and it has not yet been announced to be available in the Indigo Disk DLC. However, Paradox Raikou is expected to be in the Indigo Disk. It's possible that Entei may get a similar Paradox treatment in the DLC.

Stay tuned for more updates, and check out our other Pokemon Horizons information!

May Still be Alive in Another Dimension!

Baby Terapagos Pokemon Horizons
In an Episode of Pokemon Horizons, Liko's Pendant resonated with Arboliva's Ancient Pokeball and the Baby Terapagos emerged again!

This time, Roy and Liko were surrounded by a Force Field and seemingly temporarily transported to another world, dimension or area. At this place, the silhouette of a mysterious man could be seen and he said that he wants them to find him and that place. Could this mysterious man be the Ancient Traveller?

7-Star Shiny Black Rayquaza Tera Raid Event

Shiny Tera Rayquaza
Perhaps we will eventually be able to take on Shiny Rayquaza in a 7-Star Tera Raid Event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV). This would surely bring a lot of excitement and be a huge hit with fans! As a darker colored shiny Pokemon, we can see it taking on a Dark Tera Type, although of course both Dragon or Flying would be equally fitting!
Tera Raid Events and Schedule

New Paradox Legendary Pokemon

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Walking Wake in Tera Raid Event.png
As Suicune got a new Paradox Form in the form of Walking Wake, its only fair that the other Legendary Dogs, Raikou and Entei get Paradox Forms too! We think the Ancient Traveller's other Pokemon may be these 2 Pokemon, and if that's the case, expect another Tera Raid Event featuring them!

A Look at Terarium

Perhaps the Ancient Traveller or Main Characters will be teleported to the new Underwater Park featured in the Indigo Disk DLC! This is after all the DLC that Terapagos features in, who is central to the plot.
