Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet have over 20 version-exclusive Pokemon. These specific Pokemon can only be caught in one version, making it a little challenging for trainers to fill out their entire Paldean Pokedex. Luckily, thanks to a new addition to online multiplayer, trainers can still catch another version's exclusive Pokemon by jumping into a friend's game world (or they can trade Pokemon online).

For the trainers out there that are on the hunt for all the version-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet, this guide will cover them all and give readers their location in the Paldea region, too, so they can go out and catch 'em all.
