#1009 Walking Wake

“Walking Wake (Japanese: ウネルミナモ Uneruminamo) is a dual-type Water/Dragon Paradox Pokémon introduced during Generation IX.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is said to be either an ancient relative of Suicune or a counterpart of it from a parallel timeline.

It was revealed alongside Iron Leaves during the Pokémon Presents that aired on February 27, 2023, and debuted that same day in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet‘s Version 1.2.0 update.

Walking Wake is a large, bipedal, theropod dinosaur Pokémon with white, diamond-shaped markings. It has a long, white snout with one horn underneath the chin. The horizontal eyes are red, with yellow sclerae with red skin surrounding them. Its face and underside are also white as well. It has a thick, large purple mane covering its arms and back. The mane resembles the aurora borealis with six tips of spiky hair being red and orange. It has two small light blue forelimbs, with three white-clawed digits each, and one diamond marking. Walking Wake has two powerful light blue hind legs with six feathers, and three white claws each. It has a large, hexagonal, cerulean blue crest on its forehead with two bent prongs on either side of the base. It has a blue horn between the snout and crest. It has two long, white tails with seven small spikes each. The tails also have eight blue spikes marking on the tops of two tails each.

Walking Wake is said to possess a ferocious temperament. It resembles a sketch made by a member of the Area Zero Expedition in the Scarlet Book, and its name was derived from an aquatic monster described within the book. Walking Wake is able to walk on the surface of water and walks bipedally on its hind legs. It possesses powerful control over water, and can generate superheated water to scorch its opponents. According to an illustration in Occulture, Walking Wake is believed to represent a super-ancient relative of Suicune from the past.

According to AI Sada, Walking Wake is an ancient Pokémon related to Suicune. However, according to a version of Professor Sada that appeared at the Crystal Pool, Walking Wake is a counterpart of Suicune from another timeline. It is a highly mysterious species and its true origin is unknown. Walking Wake was brought to the depths of Area Zero by a time machine built by Professor Sada ten years ago. 200 years ago, Heath also encountered Walking Wake, as seen in the Scarlet Book, though it is unclear how it arrived there at the time.

Walking Wake is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Hydro Steam.“-Bulbapedia.
