All Legendaries confirmed for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Here are all of the Legendary Pokemon revealed for Scarlet & Violet so far:

It’s expected that more Legendaries will be announced in the run-up to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s release on November 18, 2022, while others could be kept a surprise for the post-game.

We’ll keep this page updated as soon as new Legendary Pokemon are unveiled, but for now, you’ll find all the details we know about the current Legendaries below.

Everything we know bout Koraidon in Scarlet & Violet

Koraidon is the mascot of Pokemon Scarlet and will be exclusive to that version of the game. It was unveiled alongside Miraidon in a Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trailer at the beginning of June 2022.

It has a red color scheme and appears to be inspired by dragons or lizards, with a motorbike wheel on its chest. It also has a prehistoric look, which matches up with Professor Sada’s clothes and appearance.

We don’t know what type Koraidon will be yet, but judging by its appearance and its prehistoric vibe, many players have speculated that it will be at least part Fire-type.

Interestingly, we learned during the Pokemon Presents presentation on August 3, 2022, that Koraidon has a motorcycle form that when equipped will allow the player to ride around on the Pokemon!

Everything we know about Miraidon in Scarlet & Violet

Miraidon is the mascot of Pokemon Violet and will be exclusive to that version of the game. It was unveiled alongside Koraidon in a Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trailer at the beginning of June 2022.

It has a purple color scheme and appears to be inspired by snakes or lizards. While Koraidon has a more prehistoric design, Miraidon is very much a futuristic Pokemon, matching Professor Turo’s appearance.

A type hasn’t been confirmed for Miraidon yet, but based on its appearance and its futuristic vibe, the big theory right now is that it will be at least part Electric-type.

The official description of these Legendaries reads: “These two Pokémon are said to have powers that far surpass those of other Pokémon, but details about Koraidon and Miraidon are still shrouded in mystery.”

That’s not much to go on right now, but the motorbike-inspired designs of Koraidon and Miraidon – as well as the contrast between past and future – could give us hints at what to expect from Scarlet & Violet.

Speaking of the motorbike design, similar to Koraidon, Miraidon can also shapeshift into a motorcycle form for the player to utilize and traverse the map.
