A long time ago, two Koraidon were brough to Paldea by Professor Sada's time machine. However, the second specimen was incredibly aggressive and attacked the first, severely injuring it and causing it to flee, flying out from Great Crater of Paldea before crash landing on a beach below Poco Path. After awakening, a group of Houndour led by a Houndoom living in Inlet Grotto started to harass Koraidon. Though Koraidon tried to scare them off by roaring, this only caused the Houndor to attack the player instead, forcing Koraidon to grab them and escape.
Personality and characteristics
Koraidon showed a meek and gentle personality. Though initial wary, it bonded with the player and accompanied them during their journey throughout the Paldearegion. Koraidon shows compassion towards Arven'sMabosstiff and curiosity towards Penny, despite the former's initial distaste of it and the latter's shyness. Throughout the journey, it slowly regains its strength, allowing Koraidon to utilize additional forms to help the player navigate Paldea's terrain. Prior to entering Area Zero, Koraidon was still hesitant about entering due to its previous encounter with the other Koraidon. However, with the support of the player and their various friends, Koraidon joined them as they ventured into the crater, later helping protect the group from the other Koraidon.
During the Path of Legends quest, Koraidon developed a taste for Herba Mystica sandwiches, much to Arven's initial perplexity.
