Pokemon scarlet And Violet are still getting updates ahead of the two-part Switch RPGs Hidden Treasure of Paldea DLCand while we don’t know much about what both chapters will include, we might have an idea of what Pokémon will be added when the DLC releases later this year.
Possible spoilers for Pokemon scarlet And Violet DLC to follow.
Dataminers have searched the files in Scarlet fever And Violet‘s 1.3.0 update that went live April 19th. As well as fixing the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves glitch that was causing players a cursed egg instead of the legendary Paradox Pokémonthe files also indicate which Pokémon could be added to the Pokédex as part of the Hidden Treasure of Paldea DLC and the series save app Pokémon house. When the two games launched in November, they contained files about Pokémon that didn’t appear in the game. At first glance, this would mean that these Pokémon will be added in future content. But if sword And Sign is there anything to say, including these files is less meaningful than what happened in the 1.3.0 update. Specifically, it was a series of Pokédex entries REMOVED from the game files, reflecting a similar event for sword And Sign. In the 1.2.0 update of this game, Game Freak removed Pokédex files from the games before their DLC. Most (but not all) of the affected Pokémon appeared in the post-launch expansions.
Obviously, this doesn’t confirm that these Pokemon will appear in Hidden Treasure of Paldea or be transferrable Pokémon house. But it’s the best lead we’ve gotten so far. data digger @mattyoukhana on Twitter points out that not every Pokémon whose files have been deleted sword And Sign ended up in the final game or DLC, so read the list with that context in mind. It’s also worth noting that a handful of these affected Pokemon have already been added Scarlet fever And Violet, but never had a Pokédex entry like seven-star Tera Raid bosses like Charizard and Decidueye.

Personally, I’m happy about the return of my boys Torterra and Palkia. Still, there are a few surprises here too, including some Pokemon like the Elemental Monkeys that haven’t appeared in any Switch games. It looks like any starter Pokémon could be returning this year, so no matter when you started the series, your first partner Pokémon could be joining you in Paldea soon.
While the return of old Pokemon is always fun, I’m more interested in learning more about the new ones that Game Freak has already teased, like Terapagos and mets mysterious double from the new anime. The end of Scarlet fever And Violet I completely rewired my brain and all I care about now is what the title Hidden Treasure of Area Zero is. I’m hanging by a thread, and that thread is Pokemon lore.
