Pokemon not in Scarlet and Violet – list of every missing Pokemon in Paldea
Pokemon Trainers setting off on their journeys through the Paldea region of Scarlet & Violet may not find all of their favorite creatures, as a large portion of the Pokedex is missing from the Gen 9 games.
There are just over 400 Pokemon in the Regional Pokedex for Paldea. This may seem like a lot at first glance, but not when you consider that there are over 1,000 Pokemon in the National Pokedex following the release of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
This means that roughly 60% of all Pokemon were cut from Gen 9 at launch. Even when taking into account Pokemon that are available to transfer now Home is compatible, there is still a massive portion of the Pokedex that’s been snubbed.
Below, you’ll find a list of all the Pokemon not found in Scarlet & Violet. Make sure to also check out our other guides, including the best gym order, the version exclusive Pokemon for Gen 9, our Pokemon Scarlet & Violet type chart, and all the Sandwich recipes in Gen 9 to make sure you never lose a battle.
