SV Pokémon Scarlet and Violet “Competitive Play” Trailer reveals New Pokémon, Moves, and More

[Pokemon Trainer]

During the closing ceremony of the Pokémon World Championships 2022, The Pokémon Company shared a new trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
The trailer focuses on Competitive Play showing new moves, items and a new Pokémon.

Cyclizar

• Category: Mount Pokémon
• Type: Dragon/Normal
• Height: 5’3″
• Weight: 138.9 lbs.
• Ability: Shed Skin

A Pokémon That Lives with Humans​

This Pokémon has lived in many households in the Paldea region since ancient times. It has a mild disposition, and people riding Cyclizar are a very common sight. It appears Cyclizar don't mind being ridden because the warmth of a rider helps stave off the cold.

A Body Optimized for Running​

Cyclizar can sprint at over 70 mph while carrying a human. Its extremely hard head and thick, lithe tail are not only useful for maintaining balance and absorbing shocks while sprinting—they also provide effective ways to attack during battles.

​

New items
Mirror Herb: This herb will allow the holder to mirror an opponent’s stat increases and boost its own stats–but only once.


Covert Cloak: This hooded cloak conceals the holder, protecting it from the additional effects of moves.


Loaded Dice: If a Pokémon holding this item uses a multistrike move, that move will be more likely to hit more times.


New moves
Shed Tail: The user creates a substitute for itself using its own HP before switching places with a party Pokémon in waiting.


Tera Blast: Tera Blast is a Normal-type move that can be learned with a TM. When used by a Terastallized Pokémon, it becomes a move of the same type as the Pokémon’s Tera Type and displays its immense might. Use it at the right moment to change the flow of the battle.
Tera Blast inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat—whichever is higher for the user.


Battle Stadium

Casual Battles: These are low-stakes battles in which results are not recorded. One appealing feature about these battles is that you can use any Pokémon.
Rankde Battles: In these battles, you will be able to test your battle skills against Pokémon Trainers from all over the world. Your rank will change depending on your battle results. Trainers are sorted into tiers based on their ranks. If you can reach Master Ball Tier, the topmost tier, you'll have a chance to vie to be the best Pokémon Trainer in the world in fierce battles.
Online Competitions: These are competitions in which Trainers can battle with other entrants.
•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.
•Friendly Competitions: In this format, you can hold your very own competition or join one set up by other Trainers.
Rental Teams: This feature lets you easily borrow Battle Teams by inputting IDs that have been shared online. You’ll also be able to build your own Battle Team and make it available for Pokémon Trainers all over the world to use!

Note: A paid Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to use the Battle Stadium. To use the Battle Stadium, you may need to install update data that may become available on or after the games' release date. Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield players cannot battle with Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet players.
