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.

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.​ 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

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).
• Walking Wake and Iron Leaves can be considered counterparts of one another.
  • They are both based on a Legendary Pokémon that is a member of a Legendary trio.
    • Additionally, despite being based on Legendary Pokémon, they are both not 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.
  • Both were first teased in the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V.
  • They are the only Paradox Pokémon that can be caught only once each per save file.
  • Neither of them appear in any editions of "Occulture".
  • They are the only Paradox Pokémon to not be in the Paldea Pokédex.
  • Their Pokédex entries in Pokémon HOME are both only three words long and shared between Scarlet and Violet.
  • Both were added in the same update.
  • They are the only Paradox Pokémon whose apparent relatives are not available in Scarlet and Violet.
  • They both have signature moves.
  • A part of each of their names could be considered a pun on their respective eras of existence: "Wake" can also refer to an emergence from sleep, or a beginning of time, while "Leaves" can also refer to an action of departure, or an ending of time.

Origin

Walking Wake is based on Suicune. Its bipedal reptilian appearance and ability to walk on water seem to be derived from the basilisk lizard. It may also be based on theropod dinosaurs.

Name origin

Walking Wake is literally walking wake. The word wake refers to movements of water created when something moves through it. Wake can also refer to an emergence from sleep, or a beginning of time.

Uneruminamo can be taken literally as うねる水面 uneru minamo (undulating water's surface).
