Paradox Pokemon are a new type of Pokemon introduced in the games Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. They are ancient or future forms of modern-day Pokemon that we are familiar with. In Scarlet, players encounter Pokemon from the past, while in Violet, they encounter Pokemon from the future. These Pokemon slightly resemble modern Pokemon, but have slight differences and completely different types. They are also known as unidentified creatures, Monsters of Area Zero, and Enigmas of Paldea by researchers and Occulture magazine articles, respectively. Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV are the head researchers on the Paradox Pokémon. The professors also refer to the Paradox Pokémon as ancient PokémonS/future PokémonV.
Paradox Pokemon are paradoxes, meaning that there is no actual explanation for their existence. They are completely new Pokemon with different names, type combinations, and backgrounds, as well as different Pokedex numbers and entries. Although they resemble other Pokemon, they are not considered variants, regional forms, or evolutions.
The following are some key points about Paradox Pokemon:
- They are obtainable at the very end of the game in Area Zero and change depending on whether you have Pokemon Scarlet or Pokemon Violet.
- Great Tusk and Iron Treads are the first Paradox Pokemon youll encounter in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Which one youll encounter during the main quest Quaking Earth Titan depends on which version you have. Great Tusk is exclusive to Scarlet, while Iron Treads is exclusive to Violet.
- They are also called ancient Pokemon or future Pokemon, depending on which version of the game you are playing.
- They are based on previously well-known Pokemon from other mainline games.
- They are completely new Pokemon with different names, type combinations, and backgrounds, as well as different Pokedex numbers and entries.
