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.

While this seems like quite a big number, there are in fact a lot of Pokemon missing from the game due to the lack of a National Pokedex.

If you’re wondering exactly what Pokemon are missing from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, we’ve provided a full list down below! While you’re here, why not check out our other guides for the game, including the version exclusive Pokemon for Gen 9, our Pokemon Scarlet & Violet type chart and the best gym order.

Updated on December 14, 2023, to reflect the release of The Indigo Disk DLC.
