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 announced in the February 27, 2023 Pokémon Presents, along with Iron Leaves.

Biology

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.​

It has an ability which enables it to be able to walk on water.

Walking Wake is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Hydro Steam.

Trivia

Sketch resembling Walking Wake in the Scarlet Book

• 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).

Origin

Walking Wake is based on Suicune, and possibly a theropod dinosaur. It's ability to walk on water seems to have derived from the basilisk lizard.

Name origin

Walking Wake is literally walking wake. The word wake refers to movements of water created when something moves through it.
