Earlier teaser imagery invoked a Blair Witch–style aesthetic, but the full trailer focuses on a playful found-footage riff rather than genuine horror, with the Espurr moment providing the most unsettling scare. The trailer, titled The Case of the Sweet Scent Incident, follows two explorers encountering mirrors, purple sludge, a pervasive sweet scent, and Pokemon jump-scares leading to the reveal of Mega Victreebel. Mega Victreebel appears as a large, bouncing, water-balloon–like plant with vines wrapped around its throat to contain abundant acid. The Pokemon retains Grass/Poison typing. The game releases October 16 on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Remember earlier this week when The Pokemon Company put out a teaser image for Pokemon Legends: Z-A that looked like it could legitimately be from something like the Blair Witch Project? Well, the full trailer is out now, and unsurprisingly it isn't actually all that scary--apart from that one bit with the Espurr. That thing still is terrifying. Still, the trailer is a fun riff on the found-footage genre, and it even revealed a completely new Mega Evolution Pokemon.
Titled The Case of the Sweet Scent Incident, the trailer follows a couple of people exploring an abandoned building as they come across more and more mysterious happenings. Surprising mirrors, mysterious purple sludge, that titular sweet scent, some Pokemon-oriented jump-scares--all of it builds towards the reveal of Mega Victreebel. And it's looking ... large. Victreebel's Mega form essentially looks like a giant water balloon with some leaves growing out of it, and it bounces around the place as it moves.
