On August 8, The Pokemon Company revealed new details on the upcoming Scarlet and Violet DLC packs and first looks at several of the new Pokemon. Among the new Pokemon include Raging Bolt, a Paradox form of Raikou, and Archaludon.
Archaludon is set to be an evolution for Duraludon, a Steel/Dragon-type Pokemon introduced to the community in the eighth generation.
Several Pokemon fans were quick to roast the design of Archaludon. On the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet subreddit. One player stated that Archaldon bears a striking resemblance to a common office product — a staple remover.
One trainer stated that the resemblance is fitting, given that the individual thought a staple remover was a monster as a child. “…I used to play with my mom’s stapler remover and pretend it was a monster thing I had tamed.”
In response to that story, a Scarlet & Violet player added, “[Staple removers] look so much like monster jaws it’s insane.”
Another player bluntly stated regarding the design of Archaludon, “Yeah it’s a dumb design, but that why I love him!”
The first of the two Scarlet & Violet DLC packs, the Teal Mask, will be released on September 13.
