The Paradox Pokemon Iron Jugulis may not look too different from Hydreigon but a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player has found a previously unknown detail that has pleasantly surprised everyone.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced Paradox Pokemon to the franchise, with the design of each being a past or future version of existing Pokemon.

Among these additions, Iron Jugulis, the Paradox version of the Pseudo Legendary Hydreigon, gained much popularity due to its pixelated face, flying animation, lore, and meta relevance on Rain teams.

Just when the community thought they had seen it all, a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainer discovered a never-before-seen detail about Iron Jugulis that fans absolutely love.

The trainer, named ‘9thshadowwolf’ on Reddit, made a post titled: “Just found out Iron Jugulis can launch his arms like rockets” and also attached a clip from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet showing the Paradox Pokemon blasting off its two arms into the air.

The post invited comments from several Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans who couldn’t get enough of the animation.

Users lauded the OP’s discovery with comments such as “Great work pokemon researcher lol” and added: “That is so cool.”

A trainer pointed out how the Paradox Pokemon seem to always have interesting details during their motion. “Idk who posted it, but this why I love Paradoxes. ‘Standing still, they look normal. But when they move…” the user wrote.

Funnily enough, a player commented about another ‘launching animation’ of a beloved starter that many don’t seem to be aware of, as they stated: “I remember being surprised by Mega Sceptile launching his tail.”

Iron Jugulis’ ability to launch its arms gives it a stark difference from Hydreigon, so much so that even those who didn’t like this Paradox Pokemon now have a different opinion. “This is the one Paradox Pokemon that I couldn’t find something cool about. But this is nice,” a player mentioned.

Paradox Pokemon have been some of the most talked-about and beloved additions to the franchise, and fans would certainly love to see more of them in a future game.

If you’re looking to catch some of the newest Paradox Pokemon, here’s how to get Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Crown, and Iron Boulder in Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC.
