The Pokemon Company recently released Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's third trailer, which came with an extensive world overview of the Paldea region and what's to come with Gen 9. This includes the Terastal phenomenon, the battle gimmick for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which allows trainers to change the types of one of their Pokemon to their Tera type once per battle for the duration of the whole encounter. The trailer was also the perfect occasion to showcase some of the new Pokemon coming with Gen 9, starting with Paldean Wooper and then revealing both Fidough and Cetitan.
Recently, multiple Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks started surfacing online regarding new pocket monsters that will allegedly be part of the Paldean Pokedex, as well as the set of four Legendaries that will supposedly come alongside Koraidon and Miraidon. Other leaks mentioned the type combinations for all three starters' evolutions, as well as what sort of Pokemon Pawmi will supposedly evolve into. Today, one of the leakers for Gen 9 came back with information regarding a new evolution line coming in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which is allegedly a dual-type frog Pokemon.
The leak was shared by Centro Leaks on Twitter, and it states that an Electric-type frog Pokemon will be available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with a secondary type that is currently not known. Although several frog or toad Pokemon already exist in the franchise, the most recent lines introduced in the series are from Pokemon X and Y, making it almost a decade since the last one was added to the games. The leak also mentioned that this new Pokemon is standing on two legs, much like similar critters such as Greninja, Politoed, and Seismitoad.
It's also worth mentioning that none of the existing frog or toad Pokemon are Electric types, making the new Pokemon allegedly coming with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet all the more unique. The original leak also mentioned a plasma ball and an electric power plant, but it's unclear whether these elements are tied to the frog Electric-type Pokemon or something else entirely.
Other recent leaks about Gen 9 also state that a controversial feature may return in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in the form of forced experience sharing, something that came with Pokemon Sword andShield and stayed in all Gen 8 games. Whether these leaks come to fruition remains to be seen, but a new Electric-type frog Pokemon would certainly be a welcome addition to the series and spark a bit of excitement for its unique typing.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release on November 18 on Nintendo Switch.
