    A wild Miraidon appeared.

    The Toyota Engineering Society’s Miraidon Project — a life-size version of the motorcycle-like legendary pokémon Miraidon, the mascot of Pokémon Violet — is on display at the 2025 Pokémon World Championships in Anaheim, California. I’m still hoping to see it actually move at some point in the future, but seeing such a precise and detailed re-creation of Miraidon in person was pretty rad.
