New Pokémon teased in frankly rather creepy found footage video UPDATE: And now they're revealed. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 21 Oct 2021 8 comments UPDATE 21/10/21: A fresh video has revealed the mysterious creatures teased in this week's creepy earlier video as Hisuian forms of Zorua and Zoroark - yet more Gen 5 creatures set to get new versions in the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The fan-favourite Zorua and Zoroark were hard to get hold of when they originally debuted. These new versions are Normal/Ghost-Type. Watch on YouTube ORIGINAL STORY 19/10/21: A new Pokémon has been teased via a scary found footage video tape released in time for Halloween. Supposedly this is a promotional trailer for next year's much-anticipated Pokémon Legends: Arceus. But really, it feels more like Pokémon's take on Blair Witch. Lavender Town was nothing on this. The footage, which looks like it was recorded on a shaky old VHS camera, shows vague shapes moving in the background while someone narrates what they can see. And then... it doesn't end well. Watch on YouTube "Is that - a Pokémon? Is that a Growlithe? No, a Vulpix? No, it's not that either," the person recording the footage says. "The tip of its tail is red and swaying... Oh! I think it's turning this way! "It's adorable... The white fur on top of its head and around its neck is so fluffy... Its eyes are round and yellow... "Wh-what's that?! Gwaaah! [muffled noises of distress, tape goes silent]." Yes, I'm pretty sure I just heard a Pokémon kill a man. Fans have various theories on what the new Pokémon might be, but it seems likely this is a new species (or new Hisuian form of an existing Pokémon) which will debut in Arceus next year.
