The most significant difference between Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are the Pokemon available to catch in each version. There are over 20 Pokemon that can only be seen in Pokemon Scarlet and another couple dozen that can only be found in Pokemon Violet.

In previous mainline Pokemon games, players would have to trade with friends who owned the other version if they wanted to snag the opposite exclusives. However, with the addition of co-op multiplayer in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, players can simply jump into a friend's world and catch the Pokemon that was previously unobtainable to them. For the Poke-fans out there that want to know how to get all exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon Violet, this guide will have all the information.
