The Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website has revealed some more information about the new Pokémon.
“It’s still unclear what the rest of its body hidden in the sand is like or how long it might be,” the bio for the new Pokémon reads.
“Wiglett Has a Sense of Smell That Can Pick up Scents from over 60 Feet Away! Boasting an exceptional sense of smell, Wiglett is able to pick up scents from over 60 feet away. It has a skittish disposition and is constantly cautious of its surroundings. When it notices the scent of other Pokémon, Wiglett burrows into the sand to conceal itself.”
The next entries in the series, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, will be released in November and let up to four players explore an open world together freely.
Earlier this month, Nintendo announced plans to launch a special edition Switch OLED console themed around Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
