The last few days have seen many Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks hit the internet, with the ROM coming in late to reveal basically everything about the game so far, and this includes various Paradox forms. Fans of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet who do not want to see the new designs and whatnot are encouraged to avoid the internet and social media until the launch.
As a result of these leaks, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans have seen Fuecoco's entire evolution line (ending on Skeledirge), Quaxly's evolution line (ending on Quaquaval), and Sprigatito's evolution line (ending on Meowscarada). They've seen multiple evolutions that haven't been revealed yet, and basically something from every Pokemon line in the upcoming game. In fact, it seems as some dive into the data and content of the games, they're finding Pokemon that may or may not be in it yet.
For those keeping up with the leaks, they know that both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet feature 7 Paradox Pokemon each. It seems it was originally going to be 8 or something like that, though two legendary Paradox Pokemon were changed/set to appear in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC. Whatever their proper names are, it was an Ancient form of Suicune for Pokemon Scarlet and Future form of Virizion for Pokemon Violet. As a result of these leaks, the first image has appeared online for Suicune as seen HERE.
Perhaps surprisingly, Paradox Suicune is an amalgamation of all the legendary dogs. Its face has the strongest Suicune feature, though it's clearly mixed with the other dogs, and it has Entei's mane and perhaps Raikou's body shape. This would somehow suggest that Entei, Suicune, and Raikou all descend from one legendary Pokemon, which is new to the lore. There are original Pokemon mythologies here and there, such as the original dragon of Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem, but these dogs are just said to have died in the Burnt Tower and been resurrected by Ho-Oh. Perhaps this revival split the Pokemon or perhaps, as a Paradox Pokemon, this form was never meant to exist for some reason.
It would be interesting to see if something similar happens to Pokemon Violet's Future Virizion. Seeing it molded with the other Swords of Justice, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Keldeo, complete with some futuristic elements, would follow a pattern like this. Of course, it's unknown when fans will see these Pokemon or have this revealed. More importantly, fans should also remember nothing is confirmed until Game Freak or The Pokemon Company say so.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release on November 18 for Nintendo Switch.
