These are Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s new legendary Pokémon, Koraidon and Miraidon

Thanks to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s box art reveal at the end and new trailer, which debuted on Wednesday, Pokémon fans got a peek at the next generation’s legendary Pokémon.

The two vaguely serpentine Pokémon have snake-like faces but also have arms and legs. Well, one has legs — the other has two rocket-fueled engines that appear to keep it floating.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the legendary Pokémon are representative of the games’ themes — in the eighth-generation games, Zacian held a sword for Sword, and Zamazenta had a shield in Shield. The first similarity with these two new legendaries is within their color. One is scarlet, and the other is violet.

These are just a few of the new Pokémon that’ll enter the franchise with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet — previously, The Pokémon Company shared information about the three new starters, Sprigatito, a grass-type cat; Fuecoco, a cute little fire croc; and Quaxly, a water-type duck wearing a hat.

Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly were first shown off in February during a Pokémon Presents broadcast for Pokémon Day. During that event, The Pokémon Company described the ninth-generation Pokémon game as an open-world game with “no borders” between towns and wilderness, with Pokémon appearing “in the skies, in the sea, and on the streets.” Since then — and until Wednesday — The Pokémon Company has been quiet on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
