Discovering the New Paradox Pokemon
Recently unveiled on Pokémon Day, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves, two novel Paradox Pokémon, have surfaced in Tera Raid Dens within Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. These creatures appear to be linked to Suicune and Virizion, respectively, reinforcing a prevalent fan conjecture concerning the genuine origins of these Pokemon.
The label “Paradox Pokémon” suits many of these ancient and futuristic beings, as they often appear to contradict their modern forms and sometimes defy the established lore of their species. Walking Wake, believed to be the Paradox variant of Suicune, falls under the latter category. The traditional narrative of Suicune is entwined with the conflagration of the Brass Tower in the Johto region during Generation II, where it was an enigmatic Pokemon that perished in the flames. Ho-Oh, the Legendary Pokémon and Johto’s mascot, revived Suicune alongside Raikou and Entei, giving birth to the Suicune we know today.
However, the existence of Walking Wake poses a dilemma for Suicune’s backstory. The Brass Tower blaze occurred 150 years before the events in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, indicating that Suicune did not exist before its demise and resurrection. Therefore, there is no plausible sequence in which the dinosaur-like Walking Wake could biologically evolve into the wolf-like Suicune. The cohabitation of these Pokemon creates a paradox. Although this contradiction aligns with the concept of Paradox Pokémon, fans have proposed an alternative explanation through a fan theory.
Unlocking Paradox Suicune in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Walking Wake, the Paradox incarnation of Suicune from the past, corresponds to the thematic elements in Pokemon Scarlet. Fortunately, players with Pokemon Violet can secure Walking Wake without trading their Iron Leaves (Paradox Virizion), courtesy of the online functionalities in Gen IX.
To acquire Walking Wake, players need to scout for unique Tera Raid icons on their map marked with the Water Tera Type emblem. Walking Wake only manifests in conjunction with a Water Tera Type. Once you pinpoint the Tera Raid den, you can engage in a solo challenge or collaborate with other players online.
Alternatively, players can obtain Walking Wake by joining a publicly shared Raid or employing a distinct Link Code to participate in another player’s Raid in the Poke Portal. This method enables Violet players to secure Walking Wake, as Raid announcements do not differentiate based on game versions.
The ongoing Tera Raid event culminates on March 12, presenting the exclusive chance to acquire Walking Wake. Notably, The Pokemon Company has assured that both Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will feature in forthcoming events. For comprehensive details, refer to the relevant article on countering Walking Wake and Iron Leaves in the Tera Raid of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Locating Paradox Suicune in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
The sole method to procure a Walking Wake Suicune in Pokemon Scarlet involves partaking in a five-star Tera Raid Battle categorized under Water Tera Type. This endeavor must be completed while the event is active, concluding on March 12, 2023, at 4:59 p.m. (PST). Players should note that once secured, they cannot obtain another Walking Wake due to save file limitations.
An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is mandatory for engaging in the Tera Raid Battle. Given Walking Wake’s Water typing, assembling Electric-type comrades like Bellibolt, Sandy Shocks, Miraidon, or Iron Hands is recommended. Caution is advised against deploying Grass-type Pokemon, as Walking Wake can retaliate with Flamethrower assaults. Moves such as Electro Drift, Discharge, and Parabolic Charge yield favorable results against the creature.
To optimize efficiency against the Paradox iteration, it’s advisable to elevate your Pokemon to Level 80 or beyond. Group challenges may alleviate the battle’s rigor, with some players reporting moderate difficulty compared to other encounters. Future events might present opportunities to procure Walking Wake Suicune.
Additionally, trainers can engage in trades with peers to acquire exclusive Pokemon from Violet, a strategic consideration for team customization. For comprehensive insights into Pokemon Scarlet and related content, explore the provided links.
Introduction to the New Paradox Pokemon and Acquisition
Paradox Pokémon, a distinctive breed found in both Scarlet and Violet editions, are based on recognizable species from varied epochs but are temporally displaced, originating from diverse eras. In Scarlet, these Pokemon are iterations of ancient beings, while in Violet, they emanate from futuristic antecedents.
The aesthetics of these creatures lean toward either prehistoric or futuristic themes depending on the game version. For instance, Scarlet showcases Ancient Pokemon while Violet features Future Pokemon. Noteworthy are the legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon, issued to players during the principal narrative, serving as Paradox Pokemon themselves.
Each game variant introduces distinct Paradox Pokemon drawn from assorted known species. Scarlet incorporates Great Tusk (Donphan), Brute Bonnet (Amoonguss), Sandy Shocks (Magneton), Scream Tail (Jigglypuff), Flutter Mane (Misdreavus), Slitherwing (Volcarona), and Roaring Moon (Mega Salamence). Conversely, Violet encompasses Iron Treads (Donphan), Iron Moth (Volcarona), Iron Hands (Hariyama), Iron Jugulis (Hydreigon), Iron Thorns (Tyranitar), Iron Bundle (Delibird), and Iron Valiant (Mega Gardevoir/Mega Gallade).
To capture these Paradox Pokemon, players must traverse the main storyline first. Subsequently, they can venture into the Great Crater of Paldea during post-game content. These entities materialize within the various biomes of Area Zero, necessitating exploration until their whereabouts are ascertained. Once a Paradox Pokemon is subdued sufficiently, it can be entrapped using a Poke Ball.
Interestingly, encounters with Paradox Pokemon mirror conventional Pokemon interactions within the game. Players can engage in cross-version trades, enabling bartering for Violet-exclusive Paradox Pokemon to enrich a Scarlet adventure.
