Card 091

Koraidon is a legendary Paradox Pokémon of the Fighting/Dragon type, first introduced in Generation IX with the *Scarlet* and *Violet* games. It represents the ancient past in the Paldea region, embodying themes of strength and primal power. As the mascot legendary for *Pokémon Scarlet*, Koraidon is deeply integrated into the game's narrative, serving as the player's primary mode of transportation and eventually revealing its true combat prowess. Its design evokes a prehistoric, reptilian aesthetic, with powerful limbs and a distinct feathered crest. Koraidon is unique in that it has no evolutionary line; it exists as a singular, ancient entity. In the games, Koraidon's ability, Orichalcum Pulse, creates harsh sunlight, boosting its own Attack stat and the Special Attack of other Paradox Pokémon. This reflects its dominant presence and influence over its environment. Its lore suggests it is a fierce protector, capable of reshaping landscapes with its raw might, a concept hinted at in the card's flavor text. Koraidon’s role in the *Scarlet* and *Violet* anime and manga adaptations further solidifies its status as a formidable and iconic creature, representing the wild, untamed aspects of the Paldea region's past.
