The Pokémon World Championships 2023 (Pokémon WCS2023) was held from August 11 (Fri.) to 13 (Sun.), 2023, and was the first Pokémon battle tournament to be held in Japan. In the game division using "Pokémon Scarlet Violet" (Pokémon S-V) as the title, Japanese players won in the Junior, Senior, and Master categories, didn't they? Congratulations! At the Pokémon WCS 2023, the latest information about the additional paid content " Pokémon Scarlet Violet: Tre asures of Zero" (hereinafter referred to as "Treasures of Zero"), which will be released on September 13, 2023 (Wednesday) in "Part 1: Blue Mask" was also revealed. The three families of the series and new techniques were also announced!
The latest information on the Treasures of Zero is also released! The three families of the past series are now available!
The latest video of Zero no Himou was released at the Pokémon WCS 2023. In the video, the three families that have appeared in the series so far appear at Blueberry Academy, the setting of "Part 2: Indigo Disc". The video also reveals how they live in the wild and how they are transformed into terrestrials.
Speaking of the three families, choosing one of the three Pokémon is an agonizing choice at the very beginning of the adventure, but we are glad to see them appear in the wild. You can meet your partner Pokémon from previous generations as you progress through the game, so let's get on with the story first!
New techniques first appearing in Pokémon S and V!
Paradox Pokémon "Takeru Raiko" and "Tetsunokashira," which were announced at the "Pokémon Presents" broadcast on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, have been revealed to have learned a special technique that comes from the Treasure of Zero. The paradox pokemon "Takeru Raiko" and "Tetsunokashira" have been revealed to have learned a special technique from the Treasure of Zero.
Takeru Raiko learns the "Jinrai" technique.
"Jurai" is an electric-type special move. It can attack first if the opponent Pokémon has selected an offensive move, but it cannot attack unless the opponent has selected an offensive move.
Tetsunokashira learns the "Tachyon Cutter" technique.
"Tachyon Cutter" is a special move for the Hagane type. It sends energy from its horn and attacks twice in succession, always hitting the opponent.
New "Hayate Gashi" technique
"Hayate gaeshi" is a physical move for the Kakuto-type. It can attack an opponent Pokémon that tries to use a preemptive move, and always makes the attacker's move flinch. If the opponent Pokémon does not choose the first move, the attack will fail, so the timing of its use is important.
New "Psycho Noise" technique
"Psycho Noise" is a special technique of the Esper type. While dealing damage, it renders the opponent's Pokémon incapable of recovering with moves, traits, or tools for a certain period of time.
While Pokémon have been able to attack first regardless of conditions, this is the first time a Pokémon's activation has been affected by the opponent's moves. We can't wait to see how powerful and effective the technique will be, but we'll have to wait for further information!
The 19th "Terrace Type" is now available!
The "Terastar" was introduced in "Pokémon S-V," and it was announced that a new "Terrace Type" will be introduced in "Part 2: Indigo Disc". In the game screen released today, the pattern of terrestals is shining in rainbow colors, but I am curious about the type.... Let's wait for further information!
"Treasures of Zero" and "Pokémon HOME" will be linked!
The "Treasures of Zero," which will be distributed on September 13, 2023 (Wednesday), will be linked with "Pokémon HOME. The date and details of the linkage will be announced at a later date, so please wait for further information.
