We got new information today relating to how competitive battling, a new Pokémon being revealed, and what I believe are the new player characters’ names.

Did they mention if Cyclizar can also go in to bike mode? It looks a bit like it could?

I don’t think so. Also, let’s just bring up the fact that every new dual-typed Pokémon has a type combo that previously was unique in some way.

Nvm I said it could but it can't, it can be ridden but probably can't go bike mode!
Also whew that Shed Tail move? I'm so so so hyped about what this gen will bring for strategy! The new objects seem so cool aswell!

Thank you for the tip! I'm guessing this form exist to avoid giving us legendaries right at the start. I definitely prefer this to having a legendary early game.
Posting the bike/ride form screenshot here for others too:

Apparently there's also a new move called Tera Blast which is normal type and transforms in to your pokemons tera type. It attacks based on whichever of your offensive stats is higher. I'm guessing this is to give every pokemon a strong STAB move without changing move pools too much? The description makes it sound like a high base power move at least.

I plan on preordering both games (something I have never done before because usually, I am very broke!) I'm trying to accomplish a similar goal with Scarlet and Violet like I did with X and Y - not spoiling myself with new Pokemon designs and letting myself be surprised when I see them in game for the first time! It's... not going great so far, but it could be going worse!
So does the green guy turn into either the red or purple guy depending on the version you get I am guessing?
If so, I feel like it would have done better as a gimmick pokemon that became the box art rather than legendary.

I didn't know that Pokemon was into TBT mirrors as well.
