#1007 Koraidon (コライドン Koraidon) is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX and the cover Pokémon of Pokémon Scarlet. Its counterpart, Miraidon, is the cover Pokémon of Pokémon Violet. It is the Ancient Paradox Pokémon equivalent of Cyclizar.
Koraidon is a large reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is scarlet in color, with white accents on its abdomen, legs, and tail. Its head features a large plume and long, thin antennae; its rear has a similar, much larger plume. These plumes and antennae are white in color, and blue-purple at the base. It has yellow eyes with brown pupils, webbed feet, and blue features on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills running down its neck. On its chest is a large circular protrusion which resembles a rubber tire. Its texture and black coloration is similar to the base of its tail.
Koraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Sprinting Build Koraidon tucks in its tail and runs on all fours, moving at very fast speeds using its powerful legs. This form also allows Koraidon to climb cliffs. Swimming Build Koraidon can float in the water by turning its throat into a flotation device and using the membrane between its feet to swim. Gliding Build Koraidon can fly by unravelling its twisted tendrils into wings, allowing it to glide through the sky.
Apex Build Koraidon is a large reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is scarlet in color, with white accents on its cheeks, abdomen, legs, and tail. Its head features a large plume and a pair of long, thin, twisted antennae; its rear has a similar, much larger plume. These plumes and antennae are white in color, and blue-purple at the base. It has yellow eyes with brown pupils, webbed feet, and blue features on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills running down its neck. On its chest is a large circular protrusion which resembles a rubber tire. Its texture and black coloration is similar to the base of its tail, and it can inflate or deflate as needed.

Koraidon is the game mascot appearing on the box art of Pokémon Scarlet. It is a Paradox Pokémon, also known as the "Winged King".
Koraidon was first revealed to the public as part of the second trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet on June 1, 2022.
