Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's entire Pokedex was leaked following the release of the Gen 9 games' ROM, and now there are pictures available online for every Paldean Pokemon. The leaks are relatively new due to the ROM's very recent inception, but there were other reliable leaks in the past few days coming from players who got their copies of the game earlier than intended, and they showed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's starter evolutions. These were mostly screenshots or pictures taken with smartphones, but now that the ROM is out players can not only theoretically play the game on emulators, but also datamine everything about Gen 9.
Datamines started soon after the ROM was released, too, and some of the leaked images of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Pokedex entries are actually from the game's data. This includes Pokemon that may be harder to get or see throughout the early bits of the story, such as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Legendary quartet or Gimmighoul's evolution, which requires 999 coins to evolve and is inherently not feasible to get in just a few hours.
The new leaks have revealed the entire Paldean Pokedex by now, and every single evolution line's pictures are online. This includes several critters that fans were excited about, such as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Primeape evolution Annihilape, Bisharp's evolution Kingambit, the three forms of Paldean Tauros, and the new pseudo-Legendary, Baxcalibur, an Ice and Dragon hybrid that looks like a spinosaurus. There are also many interesting designs in Gen 9, such as the Minecraft-like three-stage salt Pokemon or the three dog evolution lines, encompassing Fidough, Greavard, and a never-before-seen pocket monster called Maschiff. Click here to see the images, but keep in mind it's possible they will be taken down in a few hours.

One of the most OP Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Pokemon seems to be the Tinkaton line, which is Fairy/Steel in terms of type combination and has three stages, possibly meaning it has very high stats to boot. Tinkaton's signature move was also leaked, and it is a 160 base power attack with 100 accuracy, with the only drawback being that it can't be used two turns in a row. Other evolution lines are equally set to become popular in Gen 9, such as the Bug/Psychic beetle, the Fire and Grass pepper Pokemon called Scovillain, and Dunsparce's evolution, Dudunsparce.
The leaks also cover all sixteen Paradox Pokemon in Gen 9, including Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Paradox Salamence and Paradox Tyranitar, arguably among the ones fans are hyped the most about. All the Titan Pokemon from the Path of Legends storyline were leaked as well, and they include the Steel-type earthworm called Orthworm, a stork-like Flying/Dark critter called Bombirdier, and the sushi Dragon/Water Pokemon, Tatsugiri.
Overall, the leaked Gen 9 Pokedex has plenty of new critters to look forward to, and while some like Wiglett, Wugtrio, Toedscool, and Toedscruel are inspired by old Kantonian Pokemon, they are still interesting takes on renowned evolution lines. Still, the three starters' evolutions in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are likely to remain the most polarizing of the bunch, especially considering how unique Meowscarada, Skeledirge, and Quaquaval look.
PokemonScarlet and Violet release on November 18 for Nintendo Switch.
