Summary
On social media, a credible leaker forPokemon Scarlet and Violetseemingly confirmed that the upcoming DLC, The Indigo Disk, will feature a Pokemon with the unused type combination of Bug and Dragon for the first time in the series. The leaker posted a screenshot of Hydreigon and Volcarona as a way to confirm the change, which sparked discussion and excitement fromPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers.
The leak was posted just over a week before the release of The Indigo Disk, which is the second part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero forPokemon Scarlet and Violet. Before players can experience what the next chapter of the DLC has to offer, they will need to clear the story of both the main game and The Teal Mask, both of which will require a team of high-level Pokemon. BecauseThe Indigo Disk will provide a challengefor the most seasonedPokemontrainers, the extra preparations will be welcome.
According to a leak from Riddler Khu, who has gained a following for their signature cryptic hints concerningPokemon Scarlet and Violet,the type combination of Bug and Dragon will throw a new wrinkle into competitive battles. Riddler Khu posted a picture on social media of a Hydreigon and a Volcarona combining to form an apple. This strongly suggests that the speculatedevolution of Dipplin will be a Bug and Dragondual-type Pokemon. At the time of writing, it was not revealed how Dipplin would evolve, nor was the name of the new Pokemon made known. In response, somePokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers reacted with both excitement and curiosity about the new Pokemon type combination.
To start, the dual types of Bug and Dragon would have a quadruple resistance to Grass-type attacks, which is ironic considering that Dipplin’s types are Grass and Dragon. It would additionally neutralize the Bug-type’s weakness to Fire-type attacks. Otherwise, it would have weaknesses to attacks from the Rock, Ice, Dragon, Fairy, and Flying types. While it remains to be seen how strong the Dragon-typewill complement the Bug-typeinPokemon Scarlet and Violet, it will also depend on the moves Dipplin’s evolution will be able to learn once the DLC is released on December 14.
The latest leak from Riddler Khu adds to the growing list ofconfirmed features of The Indigo Disk DLC. WithPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers gearing up for a trip to the Blueberry Academy, only time will tell how this new type combination will shake things up in the competitive meta.
