Some have proven true, some have come from reliable sources, and just as many have come from bad sources and have been proven false. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans should take all unofficial information with a grain of salt, regardless of a source’s track record. Now, a leaker known as Poryleeks claims to have new details on the Elite Four, a new Ghost-type Pokemon, and more, and it all sounds interesting (but cannot be proven true or false, so to be taken with a grain of salt).

Poryleeks reveals there’s a Ground-type member of the Elite Four, after previously revealing there would be a Dragon-type and a Flying-type member. What caught many eyes about this line-up, however, is how each member would be weak to Ice-type, if this proves legit. This would theoretically make three of the four Elite Pokemon trainers as an easy walk-through with the right setup, but it’s worth noting that they are likely to feature Pokemon with powerful Tera types as well, so it may not be that easy.
Poryleeks also reveals there will be a new Ghost Pokemon but further confirmed its design would be based on a coin. This could be something like a Steel-Ghost type based on gold, akin to the region’s history of piracy, and it would be interesting to see if the final form was like a possessed chest full of gold and coins. That is, of course, just speculation on a rumor right now. He also reveals that the legendary quartet of the region is not based on Dragon or Fairy types and that there are possibly no racing mini-games in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, potentially dismissing a different rumor since players can ride Koraidon and Miraidon.
There’s no way to know how much of this proves legit until Game Freak officially announces any of this. Hopefully, the floodgates on this information open up soon enough, and another Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer proves more giving.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release on November 18 on Nintendo Switch.
