Paradox duo is a fan term for the Legendary duo of Paldea that consists of Koraidon and Miraidon. Koraidon and Miraidon are a pair of exceptionally powerful Paradox Pokémon that originated from Area Zero, and are the respective game mascots of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
History
The Legendary Pokémon KoraidonS/MiraidonV, first appeared in Area Zero after Professor SadaS/TuroV created a time machine using Terastal energy in the Zero Lab in order to bring Pokémon from the ancient pastS/distant futureV into the present day world, in hopes that Pokémon from the time period that the professor has dreamed of learning more about would be able to live in harmony with the Pokémon of the present. The Legendary Pokémon was stated to be an ancientS/futureV form of the present day Pokémon Cyclizar. The Legendary Pokémon was docile and friendly and, after being documented by the professor, would also occassionally live with the professor at the laboratory on Poco Path along with the professor's son, Arven. However, the Legendary Pokémon was eventually returned to Area Zero in fear that its presence would garner too much attention.
Eventually, Professor Sada/Turo succeeded in bringing forth a second Koraidon/Miraidon from the time machine; however, this individual was significantly more aggressive, violent, and territorial. The second Legendary Pokémon attacked the first during a territorial dispute. The professor attempted to protect the first Legendary Pokémon, but took a mortal blow and died. The first Legendary Pokémon was eventually defeated and weakened, and in its fear, eventually escaped Area Zero and wound up stranded near the Inlet Grotto, losing all of its powers in the process.
The stranded Koraidon/Miraidon was eventually discovered by Florian/Juliana, who fed it a homemade sandwich, which allowed it to regain some of its energy. After Florian/Juliana met Arven, the latter entrusts the Legendary Pokémon's Poké Ball to them. Florian/Juliana, while unable to use the Legendary Pokémon in battle due to its weakened state, relies on it as a partner to travel across Paldea during their journey. During the Path of Legends storyline, the Legendary Pokémon repeatedly begs the player for Arven's sandwiches made with the Herba Mystica, and gradually regains most of its powers, barring its ability to battle.
In the final story arc, The Way Home, once Florian/Juliana, Arven, Nemona, and Penny enter Area Zero on Professor Sada/Turo's request, Koraidon/Miraidon uses its gliding powers to glide the four friends into Area Zero successfully, though not before showing evident fear of entering Area Zero, due unbeknownst to the four friends to the trauma it sustained from its previous confrontation with the more aggressive Koraidon/Miraidon. Upon landing, it retreats into its Poké Ball and refuses to come out during the group's venture into Area Zero. After a brief confrontation with the more aggressive Legendary Pokémon, and after the player defeats the AI Sada/Turo in a battle on the latter's request, the Paradise Protection Protocol activates, summoning the second Legendary Pokémon into battle. The system shuts down all Poké Balls that do not belong to the professor; however, as the Legendary Pokémon's Poké Ball is also associated with the professor's ID, Florian/Juliana are able to call upon it as a last resort. With the support of Florian/Juliana and their friends, the Legendary Pokémon regains its full strength and combat capabilities, finally mustering the courage to stand up against and fight the other Legendary Pokémon that once overpowered it, ultimately emerging victorious.
After the main story is complete, the more aggressive Koraidon/Miraidon can be encountered and caught near the Zero Lab in the depths of Area Zero.

In the games
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, a KoraidonS/MiraidonV is met at the beginning of the games' story, and will serve as the player's main ride Pokémon, similar to the Ride Pokémon of Hisui and the Ride Pokémon of Alola. While initially they cannot be used in battle, the Koraidon/Miraidon will automatically join the player's team and can be used in battle after completing the main story. A second, more aggressive Koraidon/Miraidon can be battled and caught in Area Zero after the main story is complete.
The first Koraidon/Miraidon will always have a set Nature of Quirky when obtained; the second more aggressive Koraidon/Miraidon will have a set Nature of Adamant or Modest.
In the anime
Koraidon and Miraidon appeared in post-episode segments that aired with JN137 and JN138, respectively.
