It’s no secret that the time travel aspects of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are significant, and for some time now, the concept of “Paradox Pokemon” has been circulating online. However, with the introduction of Ancient forms and Future forms as, essentially, a type of regional varieties in the next game, these Pokemon have time traveled in one way or another in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
It makes perfect sense that Pokemon Scarlet will only be able to use Ancient forms while Pokemon Violet will only be able to use Future conditions. But unfortunately, there isn’t any information available about the game to accurately describe these Pokemon. As for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet exclusives, only a few Pokemon, such as Stonjourner and Eiscue, and a few professors are genuinely known.
One recent leak, however, goes on to specify which specific Ancient forms and Future forms players can encounter, giving the impression that these forms are exclusive, as is only natural. CentroLeaks has compiled this material, although it appears to originate from Riddler Khu,
who has been accurate with several Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks. Even so, it should be treated with caution.
In any case, these leaks claim that, excluding the fabled Koraidon and Miraidon, there are seven Ancient forms in Scarlet and seven Future states in Violet. Furthermore, Suicune and Virizion, which are allegedly Paradox Pokemon in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC, are likewise not included in this.
Donphan and Volcarona are rumored to appear in both games; however, naturally, Donphan and Volcarona arrive in Ancient form in Pokemon Scarlet and the Future in Pokemon Violet.
A Paradox Pokemon based on a Pseudolegendary is also included in each game; Ancient Salamence and Future Tyranitar are likely to be incredibly potent additions to any squad.
