ThePokemon Scarlet and VioletIndigo Disk DLCwill add Paradox forms for Cobalion and Raikou, named Iron Crown and Raging Bolt, respectively. A defining characteristic of Raging Bolt is its incredibly long neck, which has generated quite a bit of buzz on social media. As it turns out, somePokemon Scarlet and Violetfan art predicted Raikou’s Paradox form having a long neck, though the official version definitely takes the long neck to the next level.

Even so, it’s interesting to see how thisPokemon Scarlet and Violetfan art seemingly predicted one of the most defining features of Raikou’s Paradox form.

It will be interesting to see if Paradox forms return in futurePokemongames or if the concept is left by the wayside.
