A recentPokemon Scarlet and Violetleak has teased what the rumored paradox forms of legendary Pokemon Suicune and Virizion will look like when they are added to the games. Paradox Pokemon are a new concept introduced in thePokemon Scarlet and Violetgames, allowing players to catch new variations of previously-existing Pokemon with either a prehistoric past or sci-fi future twist on their design.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers can find a book that teases even more paradox Pokemon that aren’t featured in the base game. Specifically, the book has sketches that suggestparadox forms for legendary Pokemon Suicuneand Virizion are on the way in potentialPokemon Scarlet and VioletDLC. Suicune is a Water-type Pokemon that was first introduced in the Generation 2 gamesPokemon Gold and Silver, whereas Grass/Fighting-type Pokemon Virizion was made its debut in the Generation 5 gamesPokemon Black and White.RELATED:Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Patch 1.2.0 Notes RevealedTheappearance of Suicune and Virizion in the bookhas led many to assume that the Pokemon will be added to the games as part of some kind of DLC expansion, but DLC has yet to be officially announced by Game Freak. While fans wait for officialPokemon Scarlet and VioletDLC news, prominent leaker Khu has teased what fans can expect from paradox Suicune and Virizion. Apparently, the Pokemon won’t look like their sketches that can be found in thePokemon Scarlet and Violetbase games, and Suicune will not resemble a dog like it does in its original form. The three possible body types presented for Suicune are a bipedal dinosaur, a four-legged winged creature, or a humanoid.
This would be quite the change from how Suicune appears currently, but Game Freak has shown a willingness to give even the most popular Pokemon significant makeovers when it comes to things likeparadox formsand regional variants. Of course, it should be noted that any paradox Suicune will technically be considered a completely original Pokemon anyway, which gives Game Freak even more freedom to change the design.
For now, it’s worth stressing that paradox forms of Suicune and Virizion have not been confirmed forPokemon Scarlet and VioletDLC, and in fact, DLC for the games has not even been announced at the time of this writing. However, it’s a virtual guarantee that DLC will be released for the games at some point down the line, and it’s even possible the reveal could happen as early as Pokemon Day on February 27, but fans should keep their expectations in check for now.
