New monsters abound in Pokémon scarlet and violet

Twenty-six years have passed since the release of the original Pokémon games–the Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Green Version in Japan–and Trainers have adventured in many regions and discovered many Pokémon. The number of discovered Pokémon has finally surpassed one thousand with the release of Pokémon scarlet and Pokémon violet.

Gholdengo is Pokémon #1,000 in the National Pokédex. It is an evolution of Gimmighoul when it levels up after its Trainer has collected 999 Gimmighoul Coins. The Pokémon controls the coins that comprise its body and even uses them as weapons in battle. The coins are densely packed, making Gholdengo durable. It can absorb impacts and lessen the damage it takes by letting coins fly off from areas hit by enemies.

Floragato is a mischievous show-off, desiring attention and company. If its Trainer won’t entertain it, Floragato may try to get attention by misbehaving–it might wrap its Trainer up with its vine during sleep, for example.

Meowscarada uses the fur lining its cape to reflect and scatter light, thus camouflaging the stem of its flower bomb and making it look like the flower bomb is floating in midair.

Furthermore, Meowscarada can attach its pollen-packed flower bombs to various surfaces and choose when to set them off. With skillful misdirection.

Crocalor’s fire energy and overflowing vitality have mixed together into an egg-shaped fireball that this Pokémon can maintain atop its head. In battle, Crocalor can send out the egg-shaped fireball as part of a move.

Skeledirge is a busybody with a caring personality. Its gentle but powerful singing voice is filled with vitality, and it soothes the hearts of all who hear it. Foes that hear Skeledirge sing are left with feelings of warmth and fulfillment, thus losing their will to battle.

The strength of Quaquaval’s well-trained legs is incredible. With a light kick, this Pokémon can flip a truck. During a battle, large decorative water feathers spray like a fountain from organs at the tips of its tail feathers, and it swings these water feathers around to slash through opponents like a water-jet cutter.
