A brand new Pokémon generation is mere days away from launch, and we’ve already seen the announcement of dozens of amazing critters. This is set to be one of the biggest Pokémon generations yet, both in terms of new features, and the size of the new Paldea region.

In this list we’re breaking down all of the currently officially announced monsters that we’re due to see in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. We should expect dozens more new monsters to appear in the full game, but for now these are all of the creatures that have been shown to us through official channels. Yes, Scarlet & Violet leaks are out in the wild, and you should avoid them at all costs. But for now, these are the monsters you should get familiar with ahead of the launch of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Pokémon generation 9.

Recently, Gimmighoul was revealed in Pokémon Go.

All Paldea Pokémon

Sprigatito

pokemon-felori-1

Sprigatito is described as the Grass cat Pokémon, and honestly, that’s just perfect. This furry friend can use photosynthesis through its fur.

Fuecoco

pokemon-krokel-1

This Fire-type crocodile is adorable, if a bit dumb. Fans are already eager to see its fully evolved form.

Quaxly

pokemon-kwaks-1

This smart duck is incredible. Look at this distinguished gentleman! Yes, very distinguished.

Koraidon

pokemon-koraidon-1

A brand new legendary Pokémon that you’ll be riding aboard on your adventure in Pokémon Scarlet.

Miraridon

pokemon-miraidon-1

Miraidon is Violet’s box legendary, and this mon comes equipped with jets. Actual jets. My childhood Pokémon designs became real at last.

Cyclizar

cyclizar-pokemon

Likely the pre-evolution of the box legendary Pokémon, Cyclizar is like, well, it’s a bit like a motorcycle. This Dragon/Normal-type has the Shed Tail attack, which allows it to swap with a benched monster, a bit like Abra’s signature Teleport.

Armarouge

armarouge-pokemon

Another version-exclusive legendary, this monster has the Flash Fire ability, raising attack stat if hit by a fire-type move. Armor Cannon is also a strong Fire-type attack that can lower the defense stat of creatures that get hit by it.

Ceruledge

ceruledge-pokemon

The Shadow to Armarouge’s Sonic, Ceruledge is a Fire/Ghost-type monster, and has ghostly blade on the ends of its arms. It’s incredibly imposing, and likely the edgy gamer’s monster of choice. You know who you are.

Lechonk

pokemon-ferkuli-1

Peak character design. Lechonk is a pig with eyeliner, essentially. It looks delicious.

Pawmi

pokemon-pamo-1

A new Pikachu competitor, Pawmi is another electric rodent, but is it cuter than Pikachu? It’s close.

Smoliv

pokemon-olini-1

It’s a small olive. Well done to all involved.

Cetitan

pokemon-kokowal-1

A literal land whale, complete with legs and powerful Ice-type abilities, on top of Thick Fat, which reduces the effectiveness of Fire-type attacks. This monster could make a big impact on the future meta.

Fidough

pokemon-hefel-1

It’s a bread dog. Some of these Pokémon designs and names are truly incredible.

Grafaiai

grafaiai-pokemon

Some are less incredible, and Grafaiai is a little graffiti monkey. It looks like a terrible little gremlin. That is all.

Klawf

klawf-pokemon

This isn’t related to Krabby or Kingler, and this crab creature is actually a Rock-type. Klawf can appear in the game in a new titan form, and yes, you should be excited to see that.

Wiglett

Pokemon-Wiglett

It’s like Diglett, but it wiggles, I guess. It’s apparently unrelated to Diglett, despite the appearance and where it chooses to live. Darwin would have something to say about this.

Paldean Wooper

pokemon-paldea-felino-1

The first confirmed regional Pokémon, Paldean Wooper is an adorable take on a Johto classic. This Pokémon has the powerful Poison/Ground-type combo, and we can’t wait to see Paldean Quagsire, or potentially an entirely new evolution.

Farigiraf

pokemon-farigraf-1

Girafarig, another beloved gen-2 monster, is getting a new evolved form, where its two finally combine into one. We can only assume that this has made this creature smarter than ever, even if the lack of a tail is going to send things off balance.

Bellibolt

pokemon-bellibolt-1

The new Electric-type Gym Leader Iono is partnered up with Bellibolt. This frog-like creature probably stores electricity in its stomach, or something. I find it terrifying.

Greavard

pokemon-greavard-1

In the reveal trailer for Greavard, we literally saw it kill a person. That’s typical Ghost-type behavior, honestly. At least it’s cute.

Gimmighoul

pokemon-gierspenst-1

This is what we in the business call a “scrimblo bimblo.” It’s yet another Ghost-type, but gosh it’s cute. It uses gold to lure people towards it. Smart.

Great Tusk

The first of two Pokémon revealed during the final trailer, Iron Tusks is presumed to be an evolution of Donphan, as both this and its counterpart share similar features. It will be exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet and represents the "past", following the themes of these games.

Iron Treads

Pokemon Violet Iron Treads sketch and blurry photo

The second of Donphan's branching evolutions, Iron Tread represents the future, offering a much more mechanical look. It will be exclusive to Pokémon Violet.

Unnamed engine Pokémon

Pokemon-Scarlet-and-Violet-Starm

We just don’t know what this is. It takes pride of place on Team Star’s Starmobile, and certainly looks like a Pokémon, but we haven’t been given a name yet. It looks a lot like a Steel-type, but that’s all we can say as far as speculation goes until we play the game ourselves.
