Scarlet and Violet Enthusiasts Believe New DLC Character Is Essential for the Return of Rare Pokémon

After watching the new Pokémon DLC trailers shown live at the 2023 Pokémon World Championships, fans are buzzing. They think Hisuian Pokémon will star in the first DLC.

New Character Sparks Theories

The trailers introduced a character named Perrin. She’s a traveling photographer in the first DLC, “The Teal Mask.” Perrin looks a lot like Adaman, leader of the Diamond Clan from “Pokémon Legends: Arceus.” Fans started speculating right away.

Perrin and Adaman comparison
Perrin’s hair matches Adaman’s. Her name comes from a Greek word meaning stone. Adaman’s name means diamond, also a stone. Fans are sure Perrin and Adaman are related.

Perrin’s Quest in Kitakami

Perrin mentions she’s in Kitakami to snap photos of a specific Pokémon. Due to her connection to Adaman, many think this Pokémon is Hisuian. This could mean Hisuian Pokémon are coming back in “The Teal Mask.”

Mysteries and Leaks

If Hisuian Pokémon are returning, it fits with community riddles and leaks. One riddle from leaker Riddler Khu hinted at Ursaluna getting a ‘Blood Moon’ form in the DLC.

An analyst suggested the new area, Timeless Woods, would be great for bringing back Hisuian Pokémon. It might also tie to Ursaluna’s new form.
