Walking Wake (Japanese: ウネルミナモ Uneruminamo) is a dual-type Water/Dragon Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of Suicune.
It was revealed alongside Iron Leaves during the Pokémon Presents that aired on February 27th, 2023, and debuted that same day in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s 1.2.0 patch.
Biology
Walking Wake is a large, bipedal, theropod dinosaur Pokémon with white, diamond-shaped markings. It has a long, white snout with one horn underneath the chin. The horizontal eyes are red, with yellow sclerae with red skin surrounding them. Its face and underside are also white as well. It has a thick, large purple mane covering its arms and back. The mane resembles the aurora borealis with six tips of spiky hair being red and orange. It has two small light blue forelimbs, with three white-clawed digits each, and one diamond marking. Walking Wake has two powerful light blue hind legs with six feathers, and three white claws each. It has a large, hexagonal, cerulean blue crest on its forehead with two bent prongs on either side of the base. It has a blue horn between the snout and crest. It has two long, white tails with seven small spikes each. The tails also have eight blue spikes marking on the tops of two tails each.
Walking Wake resembles a sketch made by a member of the Area Zero Expedition in the Scarlet Book. It bears a uniquely shaped set of horns on its forehead. It also supports its weight with just its hind legs and walks bipedally.[1] Walking Wake is capable of walking on water.
The rest of Walking Wake's ecology and other details regarding it is unknown. Research on Walking Wake is still ongoing.
Walking Wake is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Hydro Steam.

Trivia
- Before the official reveal of Walking Wake, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the Scarlet Book in Pokémon Scarlet as an amalgam of the Legendary beasts (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune).
- Walking Wake and Iron Leaves can be considered counterparts of one another. They are both event-exclusive Paradox Pokémon with signature moves that can be caught only once per save file based on a Legendary Pokémon that is a member of a Legendary trio. The first letter of their modern-day counterparts reflects their version exclusivity: Walking Wake (Suicune) in Scarlet and Iron Leaves (Virizion) in Violet. Despite being based on Legendary Pokémon, they are both not considered Legendary Pokémon themselves. They are the first Paradox Pokémon that can be encountered in a Tera Raid Battle and were both revealed and released simultaneously in the same Poké Portal News event and software update. They are also the only Paradox Pokémon to not be in the Paldea Pokédex and whose apparent relatives are not available in Scarlet and Violet. They were both teased in the Scarlet BookS/Violet BookV, though neither of them appear in any editions of Occulture magazine. Their Pokédex entries in Pokémon HOME are both only three words long and shared between Scarlet and Violet.
- Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are currently the only Pokémon to have never been in a regional Pokédex.
Origin
Walking Wake is based on Suicune. Its bipedal reptilian appearance may be based on theropod dinosaurs or the basilisk lizard — the latter also has the ability to run on water. It may also be based on the Qilin, which appears to be one of Suicune's original inspirations.
Name origin
Walking Wake is literally walking wake. A wake is a movement of water created by a moving object.
Uneruminamo can be taken literally as うねる水面 uneru minamo (undulating water's surface).
