On social media, a credible leaker for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet seemingly confirmed that the upcoming DLC, The Indigo Disk, will feature a Pokemon with the unused type combination of Bug and Dragon for the first time in the series. The leaker posted a screenshot of Hydreigon and Volcarona as a way to confirm the change, which sparked discussion and excitement from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players.

The leak was posted just over a week before the release of The Indigo Disk, which is the second part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Before players can experience what the next chapter of the DLC has to offer, they will need to clear the story of both the main game and The Teal Mask, both of which will require a team of high-level Pokemon. Because The Indigo Disk will provide a challenge for the most seasoned Pokemon trainers, the extra preparations will be welcome.

According to a leak from Riddler Khu, who has gained a following for their signature cryptic hints concerning Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the type combination of Bug and Dragon will throw a new wrinkle into competitive battles. Riddler Khu posted a picture on social media of a Hydreigon and a Volcarona combining to form an apple. This strongly suggests that the speculated evolution of Dipplin will be a Bug and Dragon dual-type Pokemon. At the time of writing, it was not revealed how Dipplin would evolve, nor was the name of the new Pokemon made known. In response, some Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players reacted with both excitement and curiosity about the new Pokemon type combination.

To start, the dual types of Bug and Dragon would have a quadruple resistance to Grass-type attacks, which is ironic considering that Dipplin's types are Grass and Dragon. It would additionally neutralize the Bug-type's weakness to Fire-type attacks. Otherwise, it would have weaknesses to attacks from the Rock, Ice, Dragon, Fairy, and Flying types. While it remains to be seen how strong the Dragon-type will complement the Bug-type in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, it will also depend on the moves Dipplin's evolution will be able to learn once the DLC is released on December 14.

The latest leak from Riddler Khu adds to the growing list of confirmed features of The Indigo Disk DLC. With Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players gearing up for a trip to the Blueberry Academy, only time will tell how this new type combination will shake things up in the competitive meta.
