The entire Paldean Pokédex has leaked days ahead of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's release date.Centro Leaks ALt (@CentroLeaksALT) has leaked the final version of the Switch title's Pokédex following the release of the Generation IX games' ROM. The ROM allows players to play Scarlet and Violet on emulators and leak their discoveries on social media. As seen in the image, there are 107 Generation IX Pokémon featured in the Paldean Pokédex. However, Centro Leaks admitted the photo was missing "some names and Dolphin alt form."
The leak included all 16 Paradox Pokémon in Gen 9, including Paradox Volcarona and Paradox Tyranitar. Paradox Pokémon are allegedly pocket monsters who come from the future. Therefore, the sixteen Paradox Pokémon look a little different from their previous normal forms. The leak also featured three Paldean forms of Generation I's Tauros and Generation II's Wooper, as well as the latter evolution, Quagsire.
In addition to Tauros, Scarlet and Violet return to the series' Kantonian roots with Wiglett, Wugtrio, Toedscool and Toedscruel, based on the Gen 1 Pokémon Diglett, Dugtrio, Tentacool and Tentacruel. However, the Wiglett evolution line adopts a Water-typing compared to its previous Ground, and Toedscool features Grass/Ground dual-type compared to the former Poison/Water. Gen I's Primeape and Gen II's Dunsparce will also receive evolutions in Scarlet and Violet.
On Nov. 9, Reddit users flooded the site with leaks of many never-before-seen Pokémon, including Shroodle, the rumored pre-evolution of Grafaiai, and the female and male forms of Oinkologne, the evolution of the Normal-type Hog Lechonk. The leaks also introduced the Rock Salt Pokémon Nacli and the Grasshopper pocket monster Lokix. Lokix's pre-evolution Nymble also appeared online.
Additionally, the second and final evolutions of the three starter Pokémon for Gen IX leaked before the Switch title's release date. Centro Leaks posted blurry in-game screenshots of Crocalor, Fuecoco's first evolution, on Twitter. The next day, Fuecoco's final evolution, Skeledirge, appeared on Reddit. Following its reveal, some users compared its likeness to Day of the Dead art for its skeleton appearance. Some believed Crocalor sported a sombrero on its head, but it is actually a nest with an egg. The Grass-type and Water-Type starters, Sprigatito and Quaxly, evolution lines suffered more criticism than Fuecoco's from fans, with the latter's bi-pedal transformation earning particular scorn.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on Nov. 18, 2022.
