The newest chapters in the Pokémon series, the Pokémon let
and Pokémon Violet games, are coming to the Nintendo Switch
system later this year. Catch, battle, and train Pokémon in the
Paldea Region, a vast land filled with lakes, towering peaks,
wastelands, small towns, and sprawling cities. There is no set
path, so you can adventure freely through three grand stories. In
one such story, you can challenge Pokémon Gyms in any order you
desire as you for the Champion Rank! Explore a wide-open
world at your own pace and traverse land, water, and air by
riding on the form-shifting Legendary Pokémon Koraidon. Choose
either Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly, to be your first partner
Pokémon before setting off on your journey through Paldea.
Encounter Pokémon that shine and glimmer thanks to the Terastal
Phenomenon
Pokémon in the Paldea region have the ability to Terastallize to
gain special power. When a Pokémon Terastallizes, a Tera Jewel
appears above its head like a crown, and the Pokémon’s body
glistens like a cut gemstone. Each Pokémon has a Tera Type that
remains inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes. For example,
most Eevee will have a Normal Tera Type, but some other Eevee
have a Flying Tera Type! When a Terastallized Pokémon uses a move
that matches its Tera Type and at least one of its original
types, the boost to that move’s power will be even greater!
Terastallizing holds the key to victory or defeat in battles in
the Paldea region.
Meet new people, new Pokémon, and a new you at the prestigious
Naranja Academy
The Paldea Region is home to a prestigious school where people
from all sorts of regions come to hone their skills against each
other, be it through academics or Pokémon battles. The name of
the school, its emblem, its uniforms, and other details will
differ depending on whether you play Pokémon let or Pokémon
Violet. Take classes with unique teachers who will show you what
they know about battling, Pokémon biology, and more. Embark on an
independent study called the Treasure Hunt to gain new
experiences, meet new people, and find your very own treasure.
Receive a special Pikachu as an early-purchase bonus!
A special Pikachu will be gifted to early purchasers of either
the Pokémon let or Pokémon Violet game. This Pikachu has two
