Just like any other Pokemon game, Pokemon Violet and Scarlet have version-exclusive Pokemon that you can only catch in one game or the other.
Splitting up Pokemon by game can make deciding which one to buy a difficult (or maybe easy) decision, so to make sure you get the version that suits your tastes best, we’ve compiled a list of all the confirmed Pokemon. just being in one game or the other.
In addition to the version-exclusive Pokémon, there are a few others exclusive to each game, such as school uniforms and teachers. Pokémon Scarlet has Professor Sada and orange uniforms, and Pokémon Violet has Professor Turo and purple uniforms.
Update (November 18th): We’ve updated this list with the full inventory of the exclusive Pokemon release.
