Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were first revealed with a trailer that mainly showcased returning Pokemon, with the new starters unveiled right at the end. The latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer reveals five more brand-new Pokemon that trainers will be able to add to their collections once the new games release later this year, including the two legendary Pokemon that will be featured on the box art.
The first new Pokemon spotted in the latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer is Pawmi, an Electric-type Pokemon. Ever since Pikachu, Pokemon games have often featured cute-looking rodent creatures each generation, and it seems as though Pawmi will fill that role in the new games. In the trailer, Pawmi is used by Nemona, who appears to be the rival character in the new games, though not much is known about her personality at the time of this writing.
The trailer then shows Pokemon trainers exploring Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's open world in a variety of environments. One Pokemon trainer is shown sneaking up on a new Grass/Normal-type Pokemon named Smoliv, who can be seen hanging out in a field. The trainer manages to successfully catch Smoliv in a Poke Ball, though no battle is shown.

Shortly after Pawmi and Smoliv are introduced, the trailer shows an early-game encounter with a new Pokemon named Lechonk, a Normal-type pig Pokemon who is only at level 2 when a Pokemon trainer encounters them in the wild. The fight is shown very briefly, with Lechonk landing a hit on Water-type starter Quaxly before the trailer moves on to show other Pokemon that will be featured in the new games.
The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer ends with a look at the games' legendary Pokemon. As was previously hinted at by leakers, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet box art legendaries are dragons of some description, with the Pokemon Scarlet legendary being a red dragon named Koraidon and the Pokemon Violet exclusive legendary being a futuristic dragon named Miraodon.
There are now five brand-new Pokemon that fans know will be debuting in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but there will be plenty of returning Pokemon as well. The latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer confirmed even more returning Pokemon for the lineup, including Chewtle, Talonflame, Cryogonal, Larvitar, and a variety of other creatures that fans can add to their collections when the games release later this year.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launch November 18, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
