 Hello friends welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing great in today's video we are going to be going over all of the latest news and information in regards to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet at the world championships this past weekend at the closing ceremony we've got a brand new trailer and a bunch of information the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet website has been updated as well and we're going to take a look at everything so we have a crystal clear perspective going forward with this new information what it means for the games and to start the conversation about new exciting features in these titles so without further ado let's hop over and jump straight into it as I say the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet website has been updated with all of this new information one of the things that was coming through from the trailers was the new battle system so we can have a quick look at this battle with Pokemon trainers from all over the world in the battle stadium now the battle stadium was kind of touched upon it wasn't really kind of explored or explained too much it was just shown in the trailer briefly but there's a lot more information as you can see here on the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet website with the battle stadium feature in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet you'll be able to use the internet to enjoy battling trainers from all over the world so confirming that there will be a battling system in place in these games ranked battles confirmed excellent which players have had the chance to enjoy in Pokemon Sword and Shield will be returning in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will be able to take on battles in casual battles and online competition modes as well get ready to have heated Pokemon battles with new partners you meet in the pal day region so this is amazing so this is amazing this confirms that the rank battles will become confirmed will be continuing in Scarlet and Violet and also that this facility will be available for all of us on release so you can see I really like the interface of it honestly I think it looks nice I'd let me note down the comment section I'd love to hear your opinions because the Sword and Shield one was pretty innovative compared to what we've had and this looks really nice I like the look of it so we've got casual battles here we've got ranked battles so we're gonna have a ranked ladder information on the rank ladder specifics haven't been released yet but I'm sure as we get closer to the release of these games we'll get more information on that online competitions is a big one we have online competitions all the time hopefully we get more in Scarlet and Violet but great to have and then we've got an interesting one here in rental teams as well so rental teams will be a feature in these games as well and then you can see the interface there to the right as paired up with an opponent so it looks really nice trainer cards look like they're returning probably not I don't know if they're going to be as customizable yet but we do get trainer cards so that's going to be something nice for us to take advantage of in Scarlet and Violet so casual battles these are low stick battles which result in not recorded one appearing features about these battles that you can use any pokemon so yeah just kind of standard battles like we have casual battles in Sword and Shield now the rank battles in these battles you will be able to test your battle skills against pokemon trainers from all over the world your rank will change depending on your battle results trainers are sorted into tiers based on their ranks so at the minute you've got like poker ball tier grade ball master ball sorry ultra ball and then you have master ball tier and that's kind of how the tiers work in Sword and Shield so there'll probably be something similar to that it looks like if you reach master ball tier the topmost tier you'll have a chance to vie to be the best pokemon trainer in the world in fierce battles so yeah sounds like that is going to be the same kind of tiering system in rank battles and no reason to change it to be honest because it does work right it works in Sword and Shield it's a really simple system and it works and it's nice to see that that's transferring into Scarlet and Violet as well it's stuff that everyone's familiar with so it makes a lot of sense now online competitions these are competitions in which trainers can battle with other entrants there'll be official competitions various kinds of rules may govern these special competitions in which you compete to see how high you can place in the rankings and then friendly competitions in the format you can hold your very own competition or join one set up by other trainers so again this is transferring in Sword and Shield what we can do in there and it sounds like the interface is going to be very similar which is nice because if they just update it with maybe some different things that have been wanted for the longest time in Sword and Shield but keep the interface the same so it's very familiar to those of us that have played in Sword and Shield that's great it means that no one's going to have any issues using it and it's a decent system as well rental teams this feature lets you easily borrow battle teams by inputting IDs and have been shared online you'll also be able to build your own battle team and make it available for pokemon trainers all over the world now you will need a paid nintendo online membership to use any of the battle stadium facilities but that's kind of the same that you would have in pokemon Sword and Shield anyway now the rental teams the one thing the one big wish i have for rental teams in Skull and Violet is that we get more slots we have more available slots i think at the minute we get like between five and six slots that you can put a rental team up it'd be amazing if you could have more because you have so many different ruleset changes you have to overwrite your old teams and it's kind of sad having to overwrite an old team when you think oh i haven't got room for it anymore and that's kind of lost then but if you're able just to get that and generate the rental code that'd be amazing you can keep it there and have maybe a nice catalog of different teams in different formats so that would be my big thing but that is all the information that we got about the new battle system on Skull and Violet which is very exciting nice to get some information about it as well and then the other news that we got as well was touching on terrestrial phenomenon in battles so we got a bit more information about terastalization master using the terastal phenomenon in battles terastalization is a phenomenon in the pal day region that makes pokemon shine and glimmer like gems terastalized pokemon shine during battles too change your pokemon's type and turn the table so we know pretty much about kind of terastalization already but they just delve into it a little bit deeper here the primary feature of terastalizing in battle is that it changes your pokemon's type to its terra type so kind of confirming what we already knew pokemon don't outwardly short their terra type until they terrestrialize a fact that you can use this to take opponents by surprise in battle combining terra types with different moves and abilities can open up near infinite strategic possibilities so this is a little bit worrying for me from a vg perspective only because i feel like in team preview to make it a bit more balanced i feel like the pokemon should show their their terra type as well so there should be a little symbol showing what terra type that pokemon is so you at least know what to expect going into battle from the sounds of this it doesn't sound like there's any sort of markers or indication to show pokemon's terra type so that's something to think about i don't think it's gonna make it a bad gimmick but i do think this is something that might make it a little bit harder going into battles and some people may have issues with personally i don't i kind of like the idea of having that surprise in battles it's always kind of fun to have that not so fun when it happens to you in a battle and you get caught caught by surprise by your opponent but that's something you're gonna have to take into consideration but by the sounds of how it's been worded here that sounds like it is going to be a complete mystery until it's revealed in battle whether that's the same in kind of rank battles or not who knows we'll have to wait and see but this is what we've got so far you can see here the taranita using its terra type to turn into a ghost type in front of a glade and then it dodges the close combat which is great and then hits it back for super effective damage with its ghost terra type move which we'll get into in a minute and is able to pick up the knockout you see this in the trailer it's really actually quite quite fun to see and they did the other example with the colossal as well and when it turns into a water type it's terasalized type as water so terasalizes turns into a water type ticks a hydropump from rotem ticks no damage at all but its steam engine ability activates still which is really cool so you can combine it with different abilities and things like that which is pretty awesome and so yeah terra blast this is what i was talking about the new signature attack i'm gonna presume it's going to be a move that every single pokemon can learn because terasalization is something that every pokemon can do terra blast a new move that shows its power when the user is terasalized terra blast is a normal type move that can be learned with a tm so like i say i think every pokemon will be able to use this when used by a terasalized pokemon it becomes a move of the same type as a pokemon's terra type and displays its immense might so this is pretty cool it's probably quite a strong whether or not it gets a boost when used by a terasalized pokemon who knows but it will change its type from normal to whatever the terasalized type of that terasalized pokemon is which is pretty cool so you know you're always gonna have a stab attack no matter what terra type you kind of turn into use it at the right moment to change the flow of the battle terra blast inflicts damage using the attack or special attack stat whichever is higher for the user now this is a really nice way to get around it as well so whichever special attack or your attack stat is higher that's what it will be it'll be a special or a physical based attack which is nice it's got a lot of flexibility there and a lot of flexibility within how you kind of train your pokemon stats through evs and ivs as well so there's a lot of kind of different combinations with how you can use that very exciting information and good news so the other thing that we're going to talk on today before we move on is new items that can make battles even more exciting these items can be held by pokemon to trigger a variety of effects how you can use them may mean the difference between victory or and defeat use them in conjunction with pokemon moves and terasalizing to achieve victory the first item that they're talking about and got shown in the trailers again was mirror herb and the pop-off in the venue when this got announced was nuts i mean i popped off pretty hard this item's pretty sick the herb will allow the holder to mirror an opponent's stat increases and boosts its own stats but only once so in the trailer you saw an azumarill using bellydrum and then the mirror herb kind of activated and it copied all the stat boosts and so it's a pretty powerful item and really helps mitigate an opponent taking a big advantage through maybe an opportunity to get like a sword stance off or something along those lines imagine using mirror herb on something like a german seed zonius to just keep pace you know the possibilities with that are endless and it's a really nice way to kind of keep opposing teams in check without them getting carried away with all these stat boosts i really like the item so it'll be interesting to see how it kind of unfolds within the competitive scene the covered cloak this hooded cloak conceals the holder protecting it from additional effects from moves so as you can see like if you're holding this item if you get faked out you're not going to get flinched from the fake out which is pretty cool and uh other kind of secondary effects as well kind of makes you immune to those moves so things like flamethrower with burn i'm assuming because it gives you that kind of conceals you from the secondary effect you're not going to be able to get burned any time which is a really nice item to have and gets around any of those secondary effects uh that a move can kind of throw on to you so especially this one which the example here with the fake out from the hariam and you don't get flinched from it that's pretty big next one is loaded dice if a pokemon holding this item uses a multi strike move that move will be more likely to hit more times so the way i look at this item is it's a bit like an item that's comparable to skill link whether or not it's exactly like skill link where skill link you know with multi attack moves it will always hit a maximum uh number of times i don't know if loaded dice is going to give you the maximum number of times every time or if it will just increase the chances of having a having a higher amount of hits on those multi strike moves but pretty cool item as well we did see the example here of bralium using bullet seeder also confirmed that bralium is going to be appearing in scholar and violet which i'm very very happy about i did tweet about it straight away was one of the first things i tweeted about when i was watching the trailer but i think this item is really cool and probably not going to be as as usable or maybe as useful or seen as much use as things like the mirror herb or cover cloak which seem to have a real use in competitive but loaded dice definitely going to be there for things like bralium things like cloister and other pokemon that rely on those kind of multi target attacks as well so that is that now the other thing to talk about is the trailer here which is the trailer which we've discussed everything in there we've went a bit in depth that was the other thing released on the 21st of august so you can have a look at the whole thing and we did see some new pokemon as well in this trailer and the new pokemon was size lizard i think that's how i'm pronouncing it it is a mount pokemon dragon normal type as well so really cool typing unique typing has the ability to shed skin and you can see some more information about it down here um it is theory that it is a pre-evolution of kuridon myridon uh we'll have to wait and see and i haven't got anything confirmed yet a pokemon that lives with humans this pokemon has lived in many households and pal dea regions since ancient times has a mild disposition and people riding size lizards are very common sight it appears size lizard don't mind being ridden because of the warmth of the rider helps stave off the cold a body optimized for running size lizard can sprint over 70 miles per hour while carrying a human it's extremely hard headed and thick life tail are not only useful for maintaining balance and absorbing shocks while sprinting they also provide effective ways to attack during battles so this is kind of interesting and goes into detail about the uh its its body and what look like wheels but they're not wheels um and then it's got the new move and new move was announced as well which was in regards to size lizard and i hope i'm pronouncing that right size lizard or size lizard who knows who it which is the correct pronunciation whichever way probably pronouncing it wrong and i've said it a bunch of times already so i will apologize anyway the new move that we've got is shed tail this is an absolutely insane move so as you can see shed tail the user creates a substitute for itself using its own hp before switching places with a party pokemon in waiting it's a combination of a pivoting move and a protection move in substitute it's absolutely crazy that you can set up a sub pivot out and then give whatever comes in the substitute as well so it's a really really strong move and um i think it's gonna have a lot of use in the vgc or competitive format because of its ability to kind of protect whatever is coming onto the field while also benefiting from that pivot out whether or not this is a signature move of just size lizard or not who knows hopefully it has a bunch more pokemon that can use it now the other thing before we finish up today is a post that victory rod put out yesterday now it confused me a little bit but i'm just going to cover it just to confirm everything with everyone so everyone knows where we are with the new terastalize transformations and these terror abilities and the possibilities with different terror types so victory rod put out the japanese news feed on the nintendo swish confirms that all pokemon will be able to have any of the 18 types as their terror type in scholar and violet and you can see here this is the information from the japanese news feed about this confirming that now i'm just gonna hop back over to the scholar and violet website the news that we covered on the 3rd of august now it doesn't state this directly but from the wording in the website i was pretty much under the assumption um and i thought everyone else was but when talking to a lot of people yesterday and going over this news having this confirmed kind of they was like a big deal like this hadn't been kind of said before but i'm just going to say that you know um when you can see first each pokemon has a terror type a pokemon's terror type is inactive until the pokemon terastalizes at which time the pokemon's type will be changed to its terror type for example some evie will have a normal type terror type but other evie will have a flying terror type there and this is what i mean there are 18 types meaning there are countless combinations of pokemon and terror types now i took that for verbatim that every type can have one of these 18 types it doesn't say that definitively but i guess now it has been confirmed in this newsfeed article from japan about skull and violet so we know that every pokemon in the games is going to be able to have any of the one of 18 terror types as its terror type so pretty cool news but that pretty much wraps up everything that i wanted to cover in today's video so i hope you found it useful and interesting and please let me know down the comment section below about these new moves these new items the new pokemon that we've got and the battle system that we're going to have in skull and violet i'd love to hear thoughts on them all and what you particularly really took away from the trail and what you're looking forward to out of these things that you'd be able to use i guess and also about the 18 terror types you know they are available on all pokemon were you under the impression like i was or is this news to you and this confirmation pretty exciting just a quick reminder if you do enjoy this
