The Pokémon Company’s new trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is an almost four-minute review of the prepared for Nintendo Switch games, yet it didn’t have a bunch of brand-new details. However, the business did offer Pokémon followers a quick check out 2 strange animals that it’s calling “The Monster Known as Great Tusk” and also “The Monster Known as Iron Treads.”
The 2 Pokémon, which look a great deal like Donphan, appeared for mere seconds in the trailer. The Pokémon Company recognized these 2 as Great Tusk and also Iron Treads in an accompanying news release: “Photographs and sketches of unidentified creatures fill the pages of both books. While there have been sightings of similar creatures in recent years, such reports are rare, and specific details of their biology are still a mystery.”

The exploration documents in these 2 publications “were written long, long ago,” The Pokémon Company stated, keeping in mind that the exploration was kept in “an uncharted area of the Paldea region.” Great Tusk, for its component, is called a “savage monster” that struck the group “with its large body and tusks,” eliminating one traveler. Yikes! Iron Tread is a mechanical-looking beast that can snuggle in a round to strike, leaving “a trail gouged into the ground, as if it had scorched the earth.”
Notably, both of these beasts look a great deal like Donphan, the elephantine, ground-type Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Gold and also Pokémon Silver. You can see the resemblances plainly, especially in the trunk, which is attached to the whole size of Donphan’s body. These 2 types show up to validate that Pokémon Scarlet and also Violet consist of previous and also future types of some beasts, a detail leakers have been calling “Paradox Pokémon.”
Pokémon leakers have actually recommended that supposed Paradox Pokémon are a brand-new attribute in Pokémon Scarlet and also Violet. A mystery is, necessarily, something that’s inconsistent or senseless, and also for that to put on Pokémon, it appears like some Pokémon have a kind that’s not normal — not always an advancement, yet a previous or future kind. It plays right into Pokémon Scarlet and also Violet’s time-traveling motifs — Scarlet has a great deal of old information in its Legendary Pokémon and also its teacher, while Violet has the advanced appearance. In line keeping that, Great Tusk will certainly be special in Scarlet, while Iron Treads is for Violet.
Indeed, Legendary Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon imitate these motifs, also; some individuals believe they, also, are Paradox Pokémon — and that Cyclizar is the “normal,” everyday form.
The Pokémon Company itself hasn’t classified these animals — or perhaps pointed out — the Paradox Pokémon, yet today’s glance of both prospective Donphan develops certainly recommends that Pokémon do have previous and also future types in Scarlet and also Violet. With simply under 2 weeks up until Pokémon Scarlet and also Violet’s Nov. 18 launch day, it seems like we’ll be waiting up until after that for solutions.
