Pokemon Scarlet & Violet They are just a few days away from debuting worldwide. Unfortunately, The Pokémon Company has been struggling with leaks from testers of the game over the past few months. However, this time a new leak was not made by these leakers, but by an official partner of the company.
We are talking about Niantic, the developer of Pokémon GO. You read that right, this company is responsible for the most recent leak of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet since the latest version of the mobile game contains information on a completely new and unannounced Pokémon.

Who is that Pokémon… that Niantic leaked in Pokémon GO?
We know this thanks to the dedicated datamine group at Pokémon GO PokeMiners, who after an analysis of the title files found a mysterious Pokémon that they refer to as “pmMystery” and “pm1080” judging by the game files, which suggests that the Pokémon will have the number 1080 in the National Pokédex .
Best of all, not only was this mysterious name included, but also a 3D model, so we can see what it will look like in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
Apparently, it is a tiny Pokémon and its antennae on the back of its head give away that it would be a Bug type. Apparently, he has a friendly character, but he can get angry if he is disturbed and it is striking that he carries a kind of coin on his tail.
This Pokémon, judging by its 3D model in Pokémon GOcould well be one of the Pokémon that appeared hidden in one of the recent trailers for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
In case you missed it: Players will not be able to select the gender of their avatar in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
A brand new Pokemon?
A new Pokémon has been added with a file named “pmMystery” inside the file is it referred to as pm1080 so Pokémon Number 1080. Only 3D assets were added, no 2D yet to see.

Pokemon from Paldea are on their way to Pokémon GO?
We do not know how The Pokémon Company will proceed this time, which has been struggling with content leaking through informants or leakers who have already tested the game for months. This is a unique occasion, since the leaks come from an official partner of The Pokémon Company, although it is important to reiterate that it is not intentional, since it is a datamine of the mobile game.
But it is striking that Niantic has put this information in Pokémon GO. Apparently, this unrevealed Pokémon would be one of the first to reach the mobile title, so it is not ruled out that an event is on the way.
Additionally, this would confirm that Niantic has access to unannounced characters, which draws attention. We say this because before the company only handled creatures from past generations, but now that they are somewhat current, Niantic has access to content that does not yet appear in the main series, which speaks volumes about the trust that The Pokémon Company places. in her.
However, we remind you that so far all this is unofficial information and we recommend you take it as such, since we do not even know if this Pokémon is official and will appear in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. We will keep you informed.
