The secret video showcases the starters of generation VIII, namely Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey. The montage also features Gigantimax versions of different Pokemon and the legendary cover mascots, Zacian and Zamazenta.

You can also see the protagonist along with some of the gym leaders that you’ll challenge in the two paired titles.
