The Pokémon Company International has revealed the types and new moves that Raging Bolt and Iron Crown have, new Paradox Pokémon that will appear in the downloadable content for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.
Raging Bolt
Raging Bolt can be encountered in Pokémon Scarlet during an event that occurs in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk.
Category: Paradox Pokémon
Type: Electric/Dragon
Height: 5.2 m

The eye-catching ring encircling the top of this Pokémon’s lengthy neck is, in fact, fur. Raging Bolt is said to launch lightning from this fur and incinerate everything around it, but the full details are still unknown.
Raging Bolt has the new move, Thunderclap. This Electric-type special move allows the user to move first if the opposing Pokémon has chosen an attack as its next move. The user unleashes an electric blast to deal damage, but this move will fail if the target was not readying an attack of its own.
Iron Crown
Iron Crown can be encountered in Pokémon Violet during an event that occurs in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk.
Category: Paradox Pokémon
Type: Steel/Psychic
Height: 1.6 m

Ability: Quark Drive
It’s said that this Pokémon once mowed down everything around it by launching shining blades from its distinctive horns, but little else is known about it. It’s unknown what kind of Pokémon Iron Crown is.
Iron Crown has the new move Tachyon Cutter. This Steel-type special move never misses, allowing the user to unleash two successive hits on a target. The Pokémon attacks by firing off blasts of energy from its horns.
Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet’s The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask is planned for release on 13 September 2023, and Part 2: The Indigo Disk will release in Winter 2023.
