A new competitive gameplay trailer has been released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, featuring new moves, new items, and cyclizers, a dragon and normal-type Pokemon that could be the previous evolutions of these new Legendary Pokemon Myridon and Koridon games.
Released during the 2022 Pokemon World Championships, the trailer gives us another look at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet battling it out. Cyclizer was a major focus for the new pick, and as you can see below, the new Pokemon not only resembles the look of the previously mentioned Legendaries, but can also be used as an in-game mount like Myridon and Corridon. Their connection has not been confirmed one way or the other, but there are clues leading to the possibility.
on me pokemon.com, The cyclizer apparently “lives in many homes in the Palladian region since ancient times. He is mild-mannered and people riding cyclizers are a common sight. It seems that the cyclizer does not interfere with the ride as the rider’s warmth helps keep out the cold.”
He can also run at over 70 miles per hour while carrying a human and comes up with a new movement called the Shade Tail that creates an alternative. [Cyclizar] Use up the expected Pokemon’s HP before switching places.”
We also featured some items in the trailer and on Pokemon.com as follows:
- Mirrorweed: This herb allows its owner to reflect and increase an opponent’s stats – but only once.
- Discreet clothing: This covering clothing conceals and protects the wearer from the additional effects of movement.
- Charged Dice: If a Pokemon wielding this item uses a multi-hit attack, it will likely hit that attack more often.
Finally, the Paladea region featured terrestalizing and exciting phenomena, making Pokémon “shiny and sparkling like jewels”. Besides looking very shiny, Terrastalize changes your Pokemon type to Terra type in battle.
There is also a TM that can teach the Pokemon a normal type Terra Blast move, which becomes a move of the same type as the Pokemon’s Terra Type.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be released on the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.

We’ve also seen Corydon and Myridon in the Pokemon TCG, and they’re apparently two cards featured in the upcoming Scarlet and Violet decks.
