Cyclizar revealed for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, new trailer

Cyclizar is joining Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet as a new creature in the games, it’s been revealed. Its type is Dragon/Normal.

The creature has the move Shed Tail, which creates a substitution and swaps places with a party Pokemon in waiting.

Cyclizar debuted today at a new competitive trailer that was shown off during the Pokemon World Championships. Also shown was the new item Mirror Herb that copies an opponent’s stat increases when consumed. There’s also the new item Loaded Dice which makes multistrike moves more likely to hit more times. We’re also mention the Covert Cloak that conceals the holder, protecting it from the additional effects of moves.

Finally, the trailer showed off Terastallizing that lets players change types and the related move Tera Blast that changes type when the user has Terastallized. Tera Blast is a Normal-type move that can be learned with a TM, and it causes damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat – whichever is higher for the user.​

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet launch exclusively for Switch on November 18, 2022. You can access the official website here for more information.
