Koraidon (Japanese: コライドン Koraidon) is a dual-type Fighting/Dragon Legendary Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
While not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it is said to be a relative of Cyclizar[1] from the ancient past or a version of it[2] from a different timeline. It has a future counterpart called Miraidon.
Koraidon has five different transformations it can change between as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations.
- Limited Build when it has little power.
- Sprinting Build when traveling swiftly on land.
- Swimming Build when traveling in the water.
- Gliding Build when traveling in the skies.
- Apex Build during battle and full strength.
Koraidon is the game mascot of Pokémon Scarlet, appearing on the game's box art in its Apex Build. It is also known as the "Winged King" (Japanese: ツバサノオウ Tsubasano'ou). Along with Miraidon, it is considered part of the Paradox duo by fans.
Biology
Apex Build Koraidon is a large reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is scarlet in color, with white accents on its cheeks, abdomen, legs, and tail. Its head features a large plume and a pair of long, thin, twisted antennae; its rear has a similar, much larger plume. These plumes and antennae are white in color and blue-purple at the base. It has yellow eyes with brown pupils, webbed feet, and blue features on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills running down its neck. On its chest is a large circular protrusion which resembles a rubber tire. Its texture and black coloration are similar to the base of its tail, and it can inflate or deflate as needed.
Koraidon is aware of its own impressive strength and derives confidence from this fact, never feeling threatened by its opponents. It is capricious and curious enough to sometimes play with humans, despite usually being cautious of them. While fighting in its Apex Build, Koraidon dominates its opponents using its immense strength and the many natural weapons available to it, including its tough jaws and fangs, sharp claws, and thick, powerful tail. Its legs are strong enough that Koraidon can leap over 65 feet into the air, using both its own body weight and the momentum of falling from such a height to unleash crushing kicks and brutal body slams.[3] It is even powerful enough to break the land with just its bare fists. Koraidon can also transform to fly up in the air, and crash to the ground, causing a massive prehistoric explosion on its adversary.
According to AI Sada, Koraidon is an ancient Pokémon related to Cyclizar. However, according to a Sada brought to the Crystal Pool by Terapagos, Koraidon is a counterpart of Cyclizar from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Koraidon were brought to the depths of Area Zero by a time machine built by Professor Sada ten years ago. However, unlike other Paradox Pokémon, she was capable of only bringing two of them: a quirky, friendly one and an adamant, territorial one. Professor Sada coined Koraidon's name, but it was formerly known as the "Winged King" in the Scarlet Book due to its wings and crown of feathers. According to Arven, Koraidon's Apex Build is its true form.[4]
The rest of Koraidon's ecology and other details regarding it is unknown.
Koraidon is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Collision Course. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Orichalcum Pulse as an Ability.
- Transformations
Aside from Apex Build, Koraidon has four other forms it can transform into depending on the situation.
Limited Build Koraidon walks on all fours. The head and rear plumes are closed and folded. The chest throat is pulled in, leaving out the rubber tire-like protrusion. The membrane on all four legs is not visible as the central fingers and toes are kept in close contact with each other. Koraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling.
Koraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Sprinting Build Koraidon tucks in its tail and runs on all fours, moving at very fast speeds using its powerful legs. This form also allows Koraidon to climb cliffs. Swimming Build Koraidon can float in the water by turning its throat into a flotation device and using the membrane between its feet to swim. Gliding Build Koraidon can fly by unravelling its twisted tendrils into wings, allowing it to glide through the sky.[5] Gliding Build Koraidon can switch between gliding or unlimited flight.[6]

Trivia
OriginKoraidon may be based on an amalgamation of various lizards, dinosaurs, and vague depictions of European fantasy dragons. It notably resembles the anole and the genera Sitana and Sarada — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species, namely the frills of the iguana, the feet of the gecko, and the prehensile tail of the chameleon. Its feathers may be a reference to feathered dinosaurs, while its bipedal stance in its Apex Build is reminiscent of older depictions of theropod dinosaurs. Furthermore, its signature move of Collision Course alludes to the asteroid that caused the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which eliminated most dinosaur species on Earth. Its head shape, its posture in its Apex Build and its alternate name, "Winged King", may be a reference to the Tyrannosaurus, colloquially known as the "King of the Dinosaurs" due to the only known species, T. rex, being named with the Latin word for "king". As they're displayed mostly on the head and in the waist area, the colorful feathers might be reference to ancient cultures in general, as opposed to Miraidon's futuristic look. Ancient civilizations (notably Central and South American) and tribes often used bird feathers as ornaments and symbol of status. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of off road motorcycles (such as choppers or dirt bikes built for off road or natural terrains). This is shown by its antennae and shoulders which are similar to handlebars (especially longer ones known as “ape hangers”), and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled. Koraidon may have conceptually been influenced by cave paintings as indicated by the ancient past motifs as well as its red color scheme. This is further enforced by the oldest known cave painting being a red hand stencil found in the caves of Maltravieso. A cave found in Spain, one of the hypothetical inspirations behind the Paldea region. Name originKoraidon may be a combination of 古来 korai or 古代 kodai (ancient), ライド raido (ride), and dragon, don (Spanish for lord), or -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth). Its alternate name, Winged King, is literally winged king. Tsubasano'ou, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 翼の王 tsubasa no ō (winged king). Due to a bootstrap paradox involving a version of Professor Sada time traveling from the past, it is possible that the player in Pokémon Scarlet may be responsible for indirectly coining Koraidon's name.
