Following months of speculation and rumors, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are finally here. The ninth-generation Pokemon games bring with them plenty of bit changes to the series' tried and tested formula, including a rather drastic shake-up to the Pokedex. Like the Gen 8 Pokemon games, there are hundreds of Pokemon who didn't make the cut, leading many players to wonder just how many Pokemon are there in Scarlet & Violet.

Pokemon: Every Generation's Starter Trio, Ranked

There have been some truly fantastic starter Pokemon over the last 25 years, but some generations definitely shine a lot more brightly than others.

Much like the Galar Pokedex before it, the Paldea Pokedex contained 400 Pokemon at launch, though that number increased quite a bit over time, with the games' two DLC expansions adding in a few hundred additional Pokemon from past generations as well as a handful of new Pokemon. Whether or not there'll be any more DLC remains to be seen. For now, though, players will just have to hope that their favorites are already included or accept that they may have to wait a while before catching them in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Updated December 22, 2023, by Tom Bowen: The Teal Mask DLC brought with it plenty of new and returning Pokemon for players to track down, with the Kitakami Pokedex featuring 200 Pokemon. The Indigo Disk expansion was even more fruitful for fans of older Pokemon, with the Blueberry Dex containing a monstrous 242 creatures, including every starter Pokemon to date. It's important to note that there is quite a lot of overlap between the three Pokedexes and a decent amount of version exclusives. Even so, players can now obtain most of the Pokemon from the National Dex within Scarlet & Violet, with pretty much all of those that can't be caught available via trading.
