The 2022 Pokémon World Championships are now over, but before they left, the Closing Ceremony shared a bit more info on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with a new trailer. Right away they revealed a new Pokémon, Cyclizar, which you can see below. Potentially, this is the pre-evolution to Koraidon and Miraidon if its design is any indication. It has the new move, Shed Tail, which creates a Substitute and then swaps with a benched Pokémon.
A new consumable item called Mirror Herb lets the Pokémon holding it copy the stat increases of its opponent. Loaded Dice, a new held item, makes multi hit moves, like Bullet Seed, hit more often. In other words, you're more likely to see moves connect four or five times versus the more common two or three.
A little bit more information was shared about Terastallized Pokémon. Pokémon with a Tera Type different than their usual one will gain its resistances. In the trailer they showed a Ghost Tera Type Tyranitar hit with the normally super effective Close Combat that did no damage. The new move, Tera Blast, changes its type to match the Pokémon's Tera Type. If you think about it like Hidden Power, you'll get the idea of what it's like.
All in all, not a ton of new information, but still some nice new additions, nonetheless.
