Pokemon Violet – Nintendo Switch

Discover new Pokémon on a boundless, open-world adventure on Nintendo Switch.

New Pokémon await in the Paldea region - a sprawling land of vast open spaces dotted with lakes, towering peaks, wastelands and perilous mountain ranges. Choose your first Pokémon from Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly and enrol at the prestigious academy located in the heart of the Paldea region. Here you’ll be given a special independent study project known as the “Treasure Hunt”, a grand excursion to hone your skills as a Pokémon Trainer.

From here you can go freely back and forth between three grand stories as you follow your own path - a first for the Pokémon series! Beat the eight Gyms spread across the region – in any order – to prove your strength and aim for the Champion Rank.

You’ll meet plenty of colourful characters, including Nemona - a sunny and energetic student, who absolutely loves Pokémon battles! Senior student Arven is good at cooking and is researching recipes to help Pokémon feel better, but he needs your help when it comes to battling! You’ll also meet the many academy teachers including Professor Turo and Director Clavell.

Get ready to meet Miraidon - a Legendary Pokémon shrouded in mystery who can change their form to better suit the terrain. Ride this Legendary Pokémon to traverse the expansive Paldea region and explore everything the region has to offer.

Add some shine to your Pokémon with the Terastal phenomenon found only in the Paldea region! Terastallize a Pokémon at strategic moments during battles to activate its Tera Type, increasing its power and changing its weaknesses.

Not only that, but you can share the joy of discovery as you and up to three other Trainers explore the Paldea region together in local or online co-op. Cheer each other on in wild Pokémon battles and show off the Pokémon that walk along with you. And when you’re ready Tera Raid Battles await, where you and your friends can take on Terastallized wild Pokémon within a time limit.

So what are you waiting for? Get your Miraidon and start the largest and most exctiing Pokémon adventure yet!
