Pokémon Scarlet And Violet: Learn About Paldea’s Most Popular Streamer, Gym Leader Iono, In New Trailer

The Pokémon Company and Nintendo have released a new Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet trailer all about Iono, the electric-type gym leader of Levincia and the most popular streamer in the Paldean region. 

If you’re expecting a look at Pokémon Scarlet and Violet gameplay or the reveal of some new Pokémon or gameplay mechanics, temper your expectations because this video is all about Iono. Check out the gym leader Iono trailer for yourself below: 

As you can see, there’s a lot going on in this new video. Iono is very much a Paldean influencer, which is a fun addition to the universe of Pokémon, but she’s also a gym leader that we’ll be facing off against in the game. As for her type, it’s Electric, and while not confirmed, it seems the video is hinting toward a gym challenge for her. Before actually battling her, we might have to successfully complete her “who’s that Pokémon?” test.

In this instance, she describes her very own Pokémon pal, but we don’t get the answer. Perhaps we’re meant to know what it is based on her description or maybe she’s describing a Pokémon we haven’t yet met. Only time will tell. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait too much longer to meet this “Supercharged Streamer” because Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet hit Switch on November 18. 

In the meantime, check out this 14-minute Pokémon Scarlet and Violet gameplay trailer from last week, and then watch this video all about Wiglett, a new Diglett-like Pokémon. Check out this trailer all about competitive play after that, and then read our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet preview for more details about Paldea, Terastallizing, and more. 

Do you have an idea of which Pokémon Iono is describing in today’s trailer? Let us know in the comments below!
