Pokemon Scarlet/Violet Receives Official Details For Koraidon And Miraidon

Following the release of Pokemon Scarlet And Violet, the Pokemon Company has revealed more official details about its Legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon.

Prior to the games’ launch, The Pokemon Company kept the majority of information about Koraidon and Miraidon a secret, presumably to keep it a surprise for players. Now that the games are out however, they have updated the official Pokemon Scarlet And Violet website with details about the two Legendary Pokemon, including their typings, unique new abilities, moves, and more.

Koraidon

Category: Paradox Pokémon

Type: Fighting/Dragon

Height: 8’2″

Weight: 668 lbs.

Ability: Orichalcum Pulse

A Strong Sense of Curiosity and Unwavering Confidence in Its Own Power

Koraidon is aware of its own off-the-charts power and behaves as if it never feels threatened by any opponent. While it is wary of humans, it will sometimes play with them since it has a capricious and curious disposition.

It Boasts Overwhelming Power in Apex Build

In Apex Build, Koraidon can use the mighty strength of its legs to kick off the ground and leap more than 65 feet in the air. As it comes back down, it can use its velocity and its body weight to unleash devastating kicks and body slams.

Koraidon has sharp claws and a long, thick tail, and its jaws and fangs are tough and sturdy. It dominates its opponents with its overwhelming power.

Koraidon’s Ability: Orichalcum Pulse

Koraidon’s Orichalcum Pulse is a new Ability being introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. The sunlight turns harsh when Koraidon enters a battle. In harsh sunlight, Koraidon’s Attack is boosted.

New Move: Collision Course

Collision Course is a Fighting-type physical move that Koraidon can learn. Koraidon jumps high into the air, then makes a rapid, spinning dive toward its opponent and slams into them with a large explosion. This move’s power increases more than usual if it’s a supereffective hit.

Miraidon

Category: Paradox Pokémon

Type: Electric/Dragon

Height: 11’6″

Weight: 529.1 lbs.

Ability: Hadron Engine

Keen Observation and Insight Let Miraidon Get a Read on Those It Encounters

Though Miraidon seems accustomed to humans, it chooses its company carefully by using its powers of observation and insight to discern a person’s character.

It has a calm and collected disposition. In battle, it anticipates its opponents’ moves and hits them where they’re weak.

Changes in Miraidon’s facial expressions are slight, only visible in the shape and color of its eyes. The robotic nature of Miraidon’s facial expressions will likely make it difficult to perceive the subtleties of what Miraidon is feeling.

Pressuring Opponents as It Floats in Ultimate Mode

In Ultimate Mode, Miraidon floats in the air, maintaining an advantageous position over ground-bound opponents.

Its claw and fang attacks are electrically charged, and when Miraidon slams its tail, it can use the energy generated in its internal organs to knock out even the sturdiest of enemies in one hit.

Miraidon’s Ability: Hadron Engine

Miraidon’s Hadron Engine is an Ability being introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. Miraidon turns the ground into Electric Terrain when it enters a battle. While Electric Terrain is active, Miraidon’s Special Attack is boosted.

New Move: Electro Drift

Electro Drift is an Electric-type special move that Miraidon can learn. Miraidon spins and races forward, zigzagging like a lightning bolt, and hits its opponent with a large electric blast. This move’s power is boosted more than usual if it’s a supereffective hit.
