Earlier this year, Nintendo announced Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – The Hidden Area of Zero, a two-parter DLC for the open world RPG that is set to launch over the course of this year. The DLC will be adding a host of new content to the base experience, including over 230 Pokemon.
How many of those will be known species that weren’t included in Scarlet and Violet and how many will be completely new additions remains to be seen, but at least one of the new additions has been revealed- or at least partially revealed.
The Pokemon Company has shared an image of a new Pokemon that will be introduced in the DLC. Described as having “splendid aura” that is “reminiscent of the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos”, its “name and true nature are shrouded in mystery.” Check out the image below.
According to The Pokemon Company, the Pokemon is “small in stature and not particularly strong”, but can “crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield” if it senses danger. It can also “assume a dormant state when it feels that its life is in danger by pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and making itself look like a jewel.”
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available on Nintendo Switch. The Hidden Area of Treasure Zero: Part 1 – The Teal Mask will launch this Fall, and The Hidden Area of Treasure Zero: Part 2 – The Indigo Disk will launch this Winter. The full list of Pokemon that will be added with the DLC was allegedly leaked earlier this year- read more on that through here.
