A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan going by Sora creates a design for Paradox Gallade/Gardevoir, which some fans have taken to calling Gallevoir. This is based on the various Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks out there, as Paradox Pokemon have yet to be confirmed by The Pokemon Company. Indeed, if someone is keeping up with the variety of leaks that have proven true (like the new Ghost Dog Pokemon), then their experience and knowledge thus far of the upcoming games are vastly different from someone just following official sources.
There are 7 Paradox Pokemon in each game, with Ancient forms being exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet and Future forms being exclusive to Pokemon Violet. For Ancient Paradox Pokemon, there is said to be an Ancient Amoonguss, Jigglypuff, Volcarona, Misdreavus, Salamence, Magneton, and Donphan, with an Ancient Suicune joining Pokemon Scarlet as DLC. For Future Paradox Pokemon, there is said to be a Future Delibird, Hariyama, Volcarona, Donphan, Tyranitar, and Gallade/Gardevoir, with an Ancient Virizion joining Pokemon Violet as DLC.
Sora based their artistic interpretation of Gallevoir based on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaker Riddler Khu's description of the Pokemon, and it's worth mentioning that Khu has been right several times in the past. Either way, Khu described it as a fusion of Gallade and Gardevoir based on the Japanese Kyudo, a style of archery. Sora's take on the Pokemon maintains the Green/White aesthetic associated with its various forms, but makes one arm have a bow be part of it, while the other one pulls back the arrows. Sora describes the Pokemon as a "martial fighter who uses the fairy power to generate arrows of light."
Many have assumed, just as Sora does, that Gallevoir will drop the Psychic typing shared by Gallade and Gardevoir and use their Fairy/Fighting for its dual type instead. It's uncertain if this is something Khu or perhaps Kaka leaked before, as it's hard to track down such a specific detail in the sea of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks, but this does make sense given its general design motif.
At this point, it's uncertain if The Pokemon Company or Game Freak will officially reveal Paradox Pokemon before Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's release date. They release in just a few weeks' time, but the marketing has not shown much. With it seeming like Paradox Pokemon are endgame content, they may be something that the companies involved want to keep secret, officially anyway.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release on November 18.
