A player of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet created a retro-inspired sprite artwork for the upcoming Paradox Pokemon, Raging Bolt. They shared their creation on social media, receiving positive feedback from other Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans who appreciated the artist's efforts to work with the controversial design of Raging Bolt.
Similar to other Paradox Pokemon, Raging Bolt is based on a Pokemon from a previous generation, specifically Raikou, one of the Legendary Beasts from Pokemon Gold and Silver. Raikou, known as the Thunder Pokemon, possesses high special attack and speed stats, but is limited by its move pool and vulnerability to Ground-type attacks. Raging Bolt, similar to Suicune's Paradox form, Walking Wake, is a prehistoric Pokemon with a dinosaur theme.
The Pokemon Company has confirmed that Raging Bolt will be an Electric/Dragon Paradox Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet once The Indigo Disk DLC is released in winter 2023. In response to the unveiling of Raging Bolt, an artist decided to share their interpretation of the Paradox Pokemon.
