Pokemon Scarlet and Violet New Pokemon List: All new evolutions and Gen 9 Pokemon

Here’s your one-stop shop for all of Paldea’s new Pokemon.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are here, introducing us to the region of Paldea and a new Pokedex packed with 400 Pokemon for you to find and catch, if you’re up to the challenge. That said, over 100 Pokemon are new to Generation 9, are fresh evolutions of fan-favourite Pokemon, or take on new forms as Paradox Pokemon.

Two industry experts discuss Paldea's starters.

With that in mind, it’s hard to know what to battle or even catch when you aren’t entirely sure what you’re looking for, or which older Pokemon can evolve in new ways. So, we’ve stepped in to introduce you to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's brand-new Gen 9 Pokemon and evolutions. Credit for some of the late-game data goes to the excellent Pokemon Database, Serebii.

Without further ado, here are all of Gen 9’s new Pokemon and evolutions in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet New Evolutions

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, we’ve been privy to some older, classic Pokemon getting all-new evolutions. Some of these are great, while others are incredibly questionable, such as Dudunsparce.

How they managed to make Wooper's new evolution just as cute as he is, I don't know.

Kelsey's (she/they) passion for gaming began with Resident Evil, and it's been rather difficult to get them to shut up about horror games since. When they're not scoping out new scares or commiserating the cancellation of Silent Hills, they can often be found fawning over cute Pokémon and Kirby, or being very average at FPS games. They've been in games media for 3 years.
