Games

Background

A long time ago, two Koraidon were brought to Paldea by Professor Sada's time machine. However, the second specimen was incredibly aggressive and attacked the first one, severely injuring it and causing it to flee.

Pokémon Scarlet

It flew out of the Great Crater of Paldea before crash landing on a beach below Poco Path. After awakening, a group of Houndour led by a Houndoom living in Inlet Grotto started to harass Koraidon. Though Koraidon tried to scare them off by roaring, this only caused the Houndour to attack the player instead, forcing Koraidon to grab them and escape.

Personality and characteristics

Koraidon showed a meek and gentle personality. Though initial wary, it bonded with the player and accompanied them during their journey throughout the Paldea region. Koraidon shows compassion towards Arven's Mabosstiff and curiosity towards Penny, despite the former's initial distaste of it and the latter's shyness. Throughout the journey, it slowly regains its strength, allowing Koraidon to utilize additional forms to help the player navigate Paldea's terrain. Prior to entering Area Zero, Koraidon was still hesitant about entering due to its previous encounter with the other Koraidon. However, with the support of the player and their various friends, Koraidon joined them as they ventured into the crater, later helping protect the group from the other Koraidon.

During the Path of Legends quest, Koraidon developed a taste for Herba Mystica sandwiches, much to Arven's initial perplexity.

Forms

In Pokémon Scarlet, Koraidon can assume a series of builds which can be used for travel. By pressing +, the player can enter and use Koraidon's Sprinting Build. In this Build, the player can ride on Koraidon, replacing the bike and Ride Pokémon from previous games.

At first, Koraidon can only be ridden in its Sprinting Build. It can jump by pressing B, and swim in bodies of water inside settlements. Koraidon will be given an upgrade after each Titan Pokémon the player defeats:

• Defeating the Stony Cliff Titan grants Koraidon the ability to dash, giving Koraidon a higher speed option when pressing the left stick. It may be possible to activate dash from jumping or sliding down steep hills.
• Defeating the Open Sky Titan grants Koraidon the full ability to use its Swimming build, allowing it to swim outside of cities and towns, replacing the Surf HM from earlier games.
• Defeating the Lurking Steel Titan grants Koraidon the ability to jump higher.
• Defeating the Quaking Earth Titan grants Koraidon the full ability to use its Gliding Build. Working similarly to Braviary, pressing B while in the air gives Koraidon the ability to fall slower and travel in the air for a short time before dropping.
• Defeating the False Dragon Titan grants Koraidon the ability to climb. Similar to Sneasler, by jumping and touching a wall, Koraidon can attach itself to said wall if the player presses B, allowing Koraidon to escalate the wall in all directions. Pressing the B button again will allow Koraidon to detached itself from the wall.
• Lastly, when confronting its fellow Koraidon at the end of the game, Koraidon regains its battle confidence and reasserts its Apex Build it used at the beginning of the game, allowing the player to subsequently use it in proper battle.

In JOURNEY IN PALDEA by Kouki Saitou Trivia Despite it originally being registered to Sada's ID, by the time the player can use it in battle, it is registered to the player's ID. The same is also true with Miraidon and Professor Turo. However, this is not the case in the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol, as Koraidon's met data is incomplete at that time.
