A new Scarlet/Violet Pokémon just leaked through Pokémon Go

A Pokémon Go Data miner leaks a Pokémon Scarlet Violet creature ahead of the games’ release on Nov. 18.

Pokémon GoAccording to PokeMiners, the file received a fresh update Friday. Within those files, they found a cute little bug Pokémon that should look familiar to people who’ve kept up with the drip feed of unannounced ’mon; this little guy with antennae And a little coin on its back appeared briefly in a Pokémon Scarlet and VioletTrailer from October. The Pokémon shows up in one of the trainer selfies in the middle of the 14-minute video, obscured by the camera’s interface.

Looking at the October trailer, it’s clear that these are the same Pokémon: You can see its bouncy antennae, round (and yet somehow still flat) purple head, and a quick glimpse of the coin on its back. PokeMiners said that the angry little dude is listed in a file called “pmMystery” as Pokémon No. 1,080. Pokémon Go only has 3D assets for the new Pokémon, PokeMiners said.

This creature has been dubbed the Coin Pokémon by eager Scarlet Violet fans; prominent Pokémon leakers Riddler Khu and Centro Leaks first mentioned the Coin Pokémon months ago. Per Riddler Khu, this Pokémon will be hard to catch, like Spiritomb in Pokémon Legends: Arceus; Spiritomb can only be obtained by catching more than 100 glowing Wisps nightly, which are scattered around the globe.

Polygon has reached out to The Pokémon Company for more information.
