pokemon scarlet violet cut dex

Even though Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s DLC added a bunch of creatures to the games, there are still plenty of Pokemon that are not available. So, if you’re wondering whether you can find your favorite creatures roaming around Paldea, we’ve got you covered.

The Pokedex for Paldea for the Paldea region in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet contains over 400 Pokemon. The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC added even more previously unavailable Pokemon. The Teal Mask alone brings back 96, and The Indigo Disk is added 118 more.

How many Pokemon are not available in Scarlet & Violet?

According to this list, 292 Pokemon aren’t currently in Scarlet & Violet, which is about 28% of the entire National Pokedex.

It’s possible more Pokemon will be added through updates, though The Indigo Disk is likely the final major content drop for the games. Those whose favorites are on this list will just have to hope some of these Pokemon return in later games.
