Pokémon Day brought fans some cool surprises this year, including two new Paradox Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. People had been waiting for Walking Wake and Iron Leaves for months. The best part? Fans could start catching them right away.
New Tera Raid Battle Event
Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are now in the Paldea region thanks to a new Tera Raid Battle event. Trainers can add these unique Pokémon to their teams. Unlike others in past Tera Raid Battles, you can’t find these Pokémon in their Shiny forms. This makes them rare, as most Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet can be shiny through regular gameplay.
Data miner Lunagrade revealed the Shiny forms of these Pokémon. They’re in the game but not yet up for grabs. Walking Wake and Iron Leaves join a short list of Pokémon whose Shiny forms are elusive.
Shiny Walking Wake has a vibe similar to Suicune’s Shiny version, but it looks way cooler. Its hair’s deep orange spikes stay the same, making it quite unique. On the other hand, Shiny Iron Leaves follows other Paradox Pokémon from Pokémon Violet with a shiny, metallic look. Its body’s green turns into chrome, and its blade-like leaves stay pink, pulsing with energy.
Will Shiny Forms Become Available?
It’s still a mystery if or when fans can catch these Shiny Paradox Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The Tera Raid Battle event featuring Walking Wake and Iron Leaves ends on March 12. What happens next with these Pokémon’s availability is anyone’s guess.
Final Thoughts
The excitement around Walking Wake and Iron Leaves shows the strong interest in new and unique Pokémon. Even though their Shiny forms are hidden away for now, the hunt for these new additions is on! Pokémon trainers, get ready to dive into the challenge.
