All new and returning Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk

Add as a preferred source on Google

It’s finally time, trainers. The last DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, The Indigo Disk, will put a firm cap on the latest Pokédex. The DLC not only adds a handful of new critters to the list but also brings back a huge swath of returning favorites from past generations that make exploring Paldea a fresh experience all over again. Your new adventure will have you attempting to solve the mystery of an ancient myth in Kitakami, and perhaps these new Pokémon hold some answers.

Here are all the new Pokémon you can look forward to battling and catching, as well as the list of returning ones to see if your childhood favorite made the cut.

All new Pokémon

Just like in the Teal Mask DLC, this final expansion only adds four new Pokémon. Here’s a breakdown of each:

Terapagos

This is the poster child for this DLC, and is going to play a major part of the game’s story. Because of its importance, we don’t know almost any details about it, including what type it is, except that it does have a Terastal Form.

Raging Bolt

A title card for raging bolt.
GameFreak

This is a new paradox Pokémon, specifically based on a Raikou. This will be an Electric and Dragon Type, however, and can only be found in the wild if you have the Scarlet version of the game.

Iron Crown

A title card for Iron Crown.
GameFreak

Iron Crown is the counterpart to Raging Bolt in that it is the Violet exclusive paradox Pokémon. This time, it is based on Cobalion and will be a Steel and Psychic Type.

Archaludon

Our final new Pokémon is Archaludon, which is a new evolution of Duraludon. This Pokémon was first introduced in Sword and Shield, but never had an evolution until now.

All returning Pokémon

Xbox price hikes in Europe are wild and now I’m worried about Project Helix
Microsoft raises Xbox prices by up to €200 across Europe
Xbox Series X

Microsoft has just made Xbox consoles considerably more expensive across Europe and the UK, only weeks after announcing a similar increase in the US. The 512GB Xbox Series S now costs €499.99, while the 1TB model has climbed to €599.99. The digital Xbox Series X will set buyers back €749.99, and the disc version now carries an eye-watering €799.99 price tag.

UK buyers have not escaped the hike either. Depending on the model, prices have gone up by between £130 and £170. We are talking about consoles that launched nearly six years ago, and Microsoft is now asking considerably more money for the same hardware.

Ayaneo’s new handheld revives the Game Boy Advance. Nintendo probably wishes it had done it first
If you missed the Game Boy Advance, this handheld is built for you
KONKR Pocket Advance

The Game Boy Advance is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the US, and while Nintendo has largely chosen to honor the handheld through its Switch Online library, another company has decided to recreate the hardware itself. Chinese handheld maker Ayaneo has unveiled the Konkr Pocket Advance, a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Game Boy Advance that updates almost every part of the original while preserving the horizontal design that made Nintendo's console so beloved.

Rather than building a nostalgia piece that simply looks like the original, Ayaneo is targeting the growing retro gaming market with modern hardware. The Konkr Pocket Advance features a higher-resolution display, additional controls, USB-C connectivity and wireless support, making it less of a replica and more of a contemporary handheld inspired by one of gaming's most influential consoles.

Sony OLED high refresh-rate gaming monitor.

Sony’s ultra-fast OLED gaming monitor has finally made its way to store shelves. A few months after announcing the INZONE M10S II, the company has started shipping the esports-focused monitor across major global markets. Buyers in the US can purchase the monitor for $1,099.99. It costs £1,199 in the UK, while customers in supported Eurozone markets will have to fork out €1,349.

It uses a QHD Tandem WOLED panel that runs at a native 540Hz refresh rate. The monitor also has a 0.02ms response time and Sony’s Motion Blur Reduction technology. Sony worked with esports organization Fnatic on a separate competitive mode that trades resolution and usable screen size for an even higher refresh rate. (via Notebookcheck)
