Another new trailer has been released for the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games ahead of their launch next month.

Iono marks the third gym leader we’ve seen thus far from the Paldea region, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s setting. Previous trailers have introduced fans to the ice-type gym leader Grusha and the grass-type gym leader Brassius.
Pokemon has been steadily sharing new details about Scarlet and Violet in the lead up to their launch. The company released a 14-minute trailer for Scarlet and Violet last week on Oct. 6, offering a deep-dive look at the different adventures four trainers embarked on. In addition to revealing new features like picnicking and the TM Machine, the trailer gave us a look at a new evolved form of Girafarig called Farigiraf.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will launch for the Nintendo Switch on Nov. 18. People who purchase one of the titles before Feb. 28, 2023, will be able to receive a special bonus Pikachu in their game.
Ahead of the games’ launch, Nintendo will release a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet-themed Nintendo Switch OLED, on Nov. 4. The Switch game Splatoon 3 is also holding a Pokemon-themed Splatfest event on Nov. 11.
