New Starter Pokémon

Sprigatito – “Capricious and attention-seeking, it may sulk if it sees its Trainer giving attention to a Pokémon other than itself.”

Fuecoco – “Laid-back and does things at its own pace. It loves to eat, and it will sprint toward any food it finds with a glint in its eye.”

Quaxly – “This serious-mannered Pokémon will follow in its Trainer’s wake. Being that it is tidy, it especially dislikes getting its head dirty.”

Pre-orders are Live

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will be launching on November 18th, 2022. Digital pre-orders for Scarlet and Violet begin today on the Nintendo eShop.
