As with all previous Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will feature a mix of brand-new Pokemon and returning Pokemon from previous generations. So far, the two trailers that have been released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet show a varied mix of creatures from all eight previous generations, as well as a handful of brand-new Pokemon including both common early game Pokemon and ultra-rare Legendaries.

The second trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which was released on June 1, 2022, nearly doubled the amount of Pokemon confirmed to appear in the ninth generation of games. In addition to introducing new Professors and other characters, it showed off returning Pokemon from Kanto to Galar, as well as several new creatures joining the world of Pokemon for the first time in Scarlet and Violet. Strictly speaking, it's possible that Scarlet and Violet could introduce new evolutions for familiar faces, so it's hard to say if the following Pokemon from the Scarlet and Violet trailers will all use the same evolution lines or if Game Freak has some surprises in store.

Every Kanto Pokemon Confirmed

pokemon-scarlet-violet-kanto

The original 151 Pokemon still remain extremely popular, so fans were not surprised to see many Pokemon originating in the Kanto region appearing in Scarlet and Violet. So far, this region features the most representation, with a total of seven confirmed Pokemon, including recurring franchise mascot Pikachu.

  • Psyduck
  • Meowth
  • Pikachu
  • Magnemite
  • Venonat
  • Shellder
  • Gengar

Additionally, though a live Dratini has not appeared so far, a fountain bearing the likeness of this Dragon-type Pokemon from Kanto did show up in the first trailer for Scarlet and Violet, resulting in fan theories that Dratini will appear in the wild as well.

Every Johto Pokemon Confirmed

The Pokemon returning from the Johto region of Pokemon Gold and Silver are a mixed batch, including a pseudo-legendary in the form of the Larvitar line and an evolution of an original Generation 1 Pokemon in Blissey. Four Johto Pokemon have been shown so far in trailers for Scarlet and Violet.

  • Hoppip
  • Blissey
  • Larvitar
  • Flaaffy

Every Hoenn Pokemon Confirmed

Like Johto, the Hoenn region from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire has four returning Pokemon confirmed so far. There is an emphasis here on Pokemon that could resemble native Spanish wildlife, such as Seviper, supporting fan theories that the still-nameless Generation 9 region will be based on Spain.

  • Pelipper
  • Swablu
  • Seviper
  • Bagon

Every Sinnoh Pokemon Confirmed

The Sinnoh region, inspired by the Japanese island of Hokkaido, recently returned to the spotlight in the form of prequel spinoff Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Despite the recent focus on Sinnoh, at least four Pokemon from the region will be appearing in Scarlet and Violet, including Lucario, who previously represented the franchise in the Super Smash Bros. series of fighting games.

  • Starly
  • Combee
  • Drifloon
  • Lucario

Additionally, although a Vespiquen has not appeared in either trailer, the Combee shown in the initial trailer possessed the distinctive red facial markings indicating that it is female, indicating that Combee will likely be able to evolve into Vespiquen in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Every Unova Pokemon Confirmed

Although the Unova region of Generation 5 added over 150 new Pokemon to the series, there are surprisingly few Unova Pokemon making an appearance in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Only two have been seen so far. This may be because the Unova region, which is based on New York in the United States, could be physically far away from the new unnamed region if it is indeed based on Spain.

  • Petilil
  • Cryogonal

Additionally, a now-removed image from the game's Website showed a Hisuian Zoruark - a regional variant of a Pokemon first appearing in Unova - appearing in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, it has not yet been confirmed if this Pokemon will appear or whether it can simply be transferred using the Pokemon HOME service.

Every Kalos Pokemon Confirmed

Four Pokemon from the Kalos region have shown up in the trailers for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, although two of them are from the same evolutionary line. As with Hoenn and Sinnoh, a surprisingly high number of bird-like and other airborne Pokemon have been shown.

  • Clauncher
  • Fletchling
  • Talonflame
  • Flabebe

Because both Fletchling and its final evolution Talonflame appear, it is likely that the middle evolution Fletchinder will appear as well. However, Fletchinder has not yet been spotted in any trailers for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Every Alola Pokemon Confirmed

The tropical Alola region, first introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon, has so far lent three of its colorful creatures to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, including two Grass-types which can be found wandering around the meadows of the game's open world.

  • Bounsweet
  • Toxapex
  • Lurantis

Every Galar Pokemon Confirmed

The most recent generation of Pokemon games will not be neglected, with at least three Pokemon from Sword and Shield making an appearance in Scarlet and Violet. Fans were particularly surprised to see Stonjourner, which was based on the English landmark Stonehenge and initially seemed like it might remain unique to the Galar region.

  • Stonjourner
  • Chewtle
  • Coalossal

Every New Region Pokemon Confirmed

Of course, a new generation of Pokemon games means tons of new creatures to add to the Pokedex. So far, fans have gotten glimpses of the three Starter Pokemon, two Legendary Pokemon, and three Pokemon that can be encountered in the early stages of the game. Some were disappointed that the evolutions of the Starter Pokemon were not shown in the latest trailer, while others noted the past and future theme evident in the appearance of the Legendary Pokemon.

  • Sprigatito
  • Fuecoco
  • Quaxly
  • Pawmi
  • Smoliv
  • Lechonk
  • Koraidon
  • Miraidon

The amount of Pokemon seen in just two trailers seems to confirm fan theories that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will add many Pokemon families and evolutions to the Pokedex. As there are still several months until the game's November release, fans are definitely hoping to see even more trailers to confirm more new and returning creatures.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release on November 18, 2022 for the Nintendo Switch.
