After teasing the silhouette of the new mythical Pokémon for weeks on end, yesterday The Pokémon Company finally revealed the new Dark/Grass-type pocket monster Zarude in the Nintendo Switch games, Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Now, following on from this, the Japanese Pokémon YouTube channel has shared a brand new trailer for the upcoming film – Pokémon the Movie: Coco – featuring the new mythical creature. It originally aired on the Japanese variety show, Oha Suta.
Here's a summary of the trailer, courtesy of Serebii.net. Below this are some screenshots:
This trailer showcases a Shiny Celebi flying in the forest. Later on, it shows Ash meeting the boy in the forest who says his name is Coco. The trailer shows Coco living with the Pokémon in the forest but before too long, the forest is under attack and Coco falls off a cliff, to be saved by a Zarude who raised Coco.
Pocket Monsters the Movie: Coco will be released in Japanese cinemas on 10th July this year. There's been no mention of a release date outside of this region yet, but if you do feel like watching a Pokémon movie, Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution just got released on Netflix.
What do you think of the new mythical creature? Do you like the look of this new Pokémon movie? Tell us below.

This isn’t Zarude’s first time on the big screen. He was an unnamed extra seen at the beginning of 28 Days Later.
I remember when pokemon movies were special, and now we're getting one like every damn 6 months. The only good recent one was detective pikachu, and even then it wasn't too good
So, a dark-type, savage-looking Pokemon turns out to have a nice personality?
Its gonna bore us like every other movie.
Zarude Leaf Storm?

We’ve literally had one every year since the first film. That hasn’t changed.
This makes me think Pokemon is paying homage to Tarzan.
Looks like a monster from Monster Hunter
@Doofenshmirtz We've always had a new Pokemon movie every year. It's nothing new really.
You mean the nightmare fuel pokemon.
@Heavyarms55 That might not be off the mark.
@Heavyarms55 I was thinking the same thing! And would play into the British-Isles theme! As the book while written by an American, is about English characters!
So, ah, when can we get Zarude? If he's available only via the expansion pass that would be sinister.
He looked pretty dangerous, then I was all like "aww he's got a sweet side!"
@biglittlejake it's a mythical, it'll be released via distribution as mythicals normally are
Cool design for Zarude, movie looks nice and slick, everything pops...
I mean I dont see myself paying money for it but when its released on the app, I look forward to watching it for free!
@Doofenshmirtz lol so you just gonna spew incorrect facts?
Eh...I was really hoping that silhouette wouldn't just be another simian...though I suppose we hadn't had a legendary one yet.
The movie summary sounds like they took that Kangaskhan episode and made it a lot more serious?
@Bobb It's an off-brand Rajang.
