Directly after you enter the new land of Kitakami in thePokemon Scarlet & Violet Teal MaskDLC, you might instinctively press “+” to mount Koraidon or Miraidon: but you’re out of luck! The DLC doesn’t let you mount immediately, but you will unlock the ability to do sovery quickly. Here’s how.
Mounting Koraidon/Miraidon is unlocked shortly into the DLC
After you gain control of your character, Briar will ask you to head to Mossui Town, which is one of the main hubs inTeal Mask. Just walk up Kitakami Road and enter the town: a short cutscene will play that introduces Kieran and Carmine, two key figures in the DLC. You’ll need to battle Carmine to unlock the right-to-mount.
Here’s what Pokemon Carmine uses:
After defeating Carmine (which will earn you $3,360) and speaking to the Caretaker NPC, you’re good to go! you may immediately mount and explore Kitakami with your companion, even though the game doesn’t explicitly say you can do so.
We recommend turning around and goingback down Kitakami Roadto explore, even though the next portion of the main quest is in Mossui Town. Now that you can quickly mount and run/jump around, you’ll be able to collect some useful items/TMs in the starting area.
