New Pokemon Teased in “Pokemon Horizons” Debut
The first two episodes of Pokemon Horizons: The Series aired in Japan today. What appears to be a new Pokemon was briefly shown alongside the new protagonist, Liko. It appeared out of her pendant to protect her. The pendant was given to Liko by her grandma (similar to Castle in the Sky).
The Pokemon obviously resembles Terapagos from Scarlet and Violet‘s upcoming DLC, The Indigo Disk. It could be Terapagos itself, a new form, an inactive version, a younger version, or a pre-Evolution. We don’t know at this point.
Perhaps Liko’s pendant is one of the type crystals that’s on Terapagos’s shell? For example, a Grass crystal to tie in to Liko’s Sprigatito and Terastallized Pokemon. That’s my quick theory, anyway. Terapagos is obviously related to the Terastal phenomenon, which isn’t fully understood yet. The mystery will likely be explored in the DLC and the anime itself.
The Pokemon anime has always been a marketing tool for the video games, so this new Pokemon is obviously meant to drum-up interest in the upcoming DLC.
