There has been plenty of news that was shared with the latest Pokemon video game, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, through the Pokemon Presents back on August 8, 2023, yet here we are again with further details regarding the DLC of the game called “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero”. Sources have mentioned that there will be new information regarding the DLC on August 13, 2023, during the closing ceremony of the Pokemon World Championships 2023 weekend. As confirmed earlier, we did get the information that we all wanted. Details of the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC and its trailer are shared below.
The Latest Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC
The Pokemon World Championships 2023 closing ceremony has revealed the latest trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC and Trainers from all over the world are rejoicing as they see the details that have been shared during the event's culminating activity.
Past First Partner Pokemon are Appearing in Spades
From Generation 1 starters like Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle to Generation 8 starters like Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble, our favorite past starter Pokemon will all be making their respective reappearances in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Of course that includes Johto's Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile from Gen 2, Hoenn's Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip from Gen 3, Sinnoh's Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup from Gen 4, Unova's Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott from Gen 5, Kalos' Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie from Gen 6, and Alola's Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio from Gen 7. Make sure that you maximize this opportunity to create your Starter Pokemon dream team!
Pokemon Battles Burn Even Brighter
In this part of the trailer, we have been introduced to new moves in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's battles that feature new moves and new Pokemon that can turn the tide in competitive Pokemon battles. The attacks that were mentioned include the following:
New Moves:
Psychic Noise – Deals damage and prevents target from healing
Upper Hand – Strikes before a target's priority move
New Pokemon:
Raging Bolt (Raikou's ancient relative)
Type: Electric/Dragon
New Move: Thunderclap – Strikes before a target's attack
We've seen the ancient relative of Suicune in the form of Walking Wake, Water/Dragon-type Pokemon that has been revealed for about a few months already, and now, we're given another variation of the Legendary Beasts in the form of Raging Bolt. A lot of Pokemon Trainers and fans have been clamoring that these designs are rather… odd but I guess, The Pokemon Company Inc. wanted to introduce ancient and future relatives of the Pokemon that we've known and loved to give more story, background, and depth.
Iron Crown (Cobalion's future relative)
Type: Steel/Psychic
New Move: Tachyon Cutter – Guaranteed to hit twice in a row
Just like most of the rest of the Pokemon that have received their own ancient and future relatives, Iron Crown is also featured in the helm as a paradox Pokemon. With a good moveset and strong dual type, Iron Crown is starting to look pretty interesting, especially with its new move called the “Tachyon Cutter” which easily breaks Mimikyu's Disguise ability.
Terastallizing Them All!
The third highlight of the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC trailer during the Pokemon World Championships 2023 features the different Terastal forms of Pokemon in the game which then leads to a new sign that is hinting a Terastalized form that can utilize any type or all types that it pleases. Will it be linked to Terapagos and his abilities? We sure can't wait to find out!
