Returning Pokémon in Scarlet & Violet

As it’s likely that not every Pokémon in the series will be available in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, this page will serve as an index of all Pokémon that have been confirmed to make an appearance in these games, from screenshots, videos, and other media.

According to the first press release for the games, only Pokémon that can be obtained in Scarlet and Violet can be transferred there via Pokémon HOME, meaning, as with Pokémon Sword and Shield, there will likely be several Pokémon that cannot be transferred into the games. Because of that, this page will try to keep track of any Pokémon confirmed to be in the game.

As of February 28, 2022, there are a total of 50 returning Pokémon that have been confirmed or are heavily suggested to return due to official imagery. This count does not include alternate forms.

Some evolutionary stages of Pokémon may not have been officially shown, but the full evolution line will be assumed to be available and will be included here.
