Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were first revealed with a trailer that mainly showcased returning Pokemon, with the new starters unveiled right at the end. The latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer reveals five more brand-new Pokemon that trainers will be able to add to their collections once the new games release later this year, including the two legendary Pokemon that will be featured on the box art.

In the trailer, Pawmi is used by Nemona, who appears to be the rival character in the new games, though not much is known about her personality at the time of this writing.

Shortly after Pawmi and Smoliv are introduced, the trailer shows an early-game encounter with a new Pokemon named Lechonk, a Normal-type pig Pokemon who is only at level 2 when a Pokemon trainer encounters them in the wild.
