Uncovering the Enigmatic Power of Pokémon Horizons' Exclusive Species

Caution: Pokémon Horizons, Episode #12 spoilers ahead.

The latest installment of Pokémon Horizons introduces a fresh power from the enigmatic turtle Pokémon that had previously saved Liko in the very first episode. This newfound ability hints at its true nature and aligns it with other Legendary Pokémon.

In the extended premiere of Pokémon Horizons, Liko found protection from an unexpected attack thanks to a barrier summoned by the unnamed crystal turtle Pokémon. Fans were quick to associate this Pokémon with the Scarlet/Violet DLC Pokémon, Terapagos, a Legendary creature linked to the Terastal phenomenon. The identity of the mysterious Pokémon remained unknown until episode #12 when it unexpectedly emerged from the pendant before Friede and the others. It delivered a special message to Liko and Roy, believed to be from the ancient explorer who once possessed the legendary Black Rayquaza. The message beckons them to embark on a quest to uncover his treasures.

When the enigmatic Pokémon makes its appearance, it envelops Liko and Roy within a protective barrier, assisted by Arboliva. The barrier becomes filled with mist, and from within the mist, a voice urges the young trainers to locate the remaining Ancient Poké Balls before the mist and barrier vanish, causing the Pokémon to return to the pendant. Needless to say, Friede and the rest of the airship crew are astonished, as they never anticipated witnessing a completely new Pokémon emerge from Liko's pendant. Evidently, the pendant is somehow connected to the Ancient Poké Balls, and the Pokémon within it has been entrusted with a message for the future.

The ability to reveal images to humans in its vicinity has been observed in a few Legendary Pokémon throughout the years, most notably the duo of Latios and Latias, who can transmit their visions through their psychic powers. This may suggest that the turtle Pokémon is of the Psychic type, although it is challenging to confirm. Other Legendary Pokémon, like Lugia, have demonstrated psychic abilities despite not having the Psychic type, after all. The crystalline nature of the Pokémon could also be a hint, as crystals have long been associated with psychic powers, as well as the use of barriers like the one it employed earlier.

Each revelation brings more clarity to the puzzle at hand, yet also raises further inquiries. Pokémon Horizons is unfolding this mystery gradually, so devoted fans will have to continue watching to uncover the secrets of this anime-exclusive Pokémon.
