New Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks appear online, revealing most of the version exclusives contained in the two different copies of the game. There have been several leaks in the past few days about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as more and more players started to post in-game pictures from their early copies, screenshots from ROMs, and datamine information about every other aspect of the games. Every Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starter evolution leaked so far has been confirmed to be legit, with them also matching the types leaked by Riddler Khu months ago.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Paradox Salamence and Paradox Tyranitar have also been in the spotlight quite a lot since they were first showcased, and the former, called Roaring Moon, is making the rounds due to its increased base stats over any other Paradox Pokemon in Gen 9. However, a huge question remains about the version exclusives for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which The Pokemon Company didn't fully reveal ahead of launch, leaving players with no clue about which version they should get.
Today, YouTuber and content creator Austin John Plays shared a video and a Twitter post that contained every Pokemon Scarlet and Violet version exclusive, which may be helpful for those still on the fence to decide which version they want to grab. The list currently includes Pokemon that were officially confirmed to be version-exclusive, such as Armarouge and Ceruledge, the Tyranitar and Salamence lines, and Stonjourner and Eiscue, respectively for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Then, Scarlet exclusives also include Oranguru, the Skuntank line, the Drifblim line, the Hydreigon line, and the Dragalge line, as well as Koraidon and Great Tusk.

As for Pokemon Violet, the exclusives are Passimian, the Swalot line, the Mismagius line, the Dragapult line, the Clawitzer line, and finally Miraidon and Iron Treads. It's worth noting that Austin John Plays included only critters that have been officially revealed by The Pokemon Company in this list, meaning that every Paradox Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet isn't mentioned. However, Pokemon Scarlet will only include the following Paradox Pokemon apart from Great Tusk: Flutter Mane, Scream Tail, Slither Wing, Sandy Shocks, Brute Bonnet, and Roaring Moon. Pokemon Violet includes: Iron Treads, Iron Moth, Iron Hands, Iron Bundle, Iron Jugulis, Iron Thorns, and Iron Valiant.
As such, there are at the very least 23 version-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but more are likely to be added in the next few days. Still, Dragapult being a Violet-exclusive makes it a bit more valuable for players who don't have one available from Pokemon Home, as it's still one of the most powerful pseudo-Legendaries released to date. Choosing one's favorite version is always a hard task in Pokemon games, but Gen 9 made it particularly difficult because of the lack of information about which Pokemon are in the game, but that is bound to change in a matter of days.
PokemonScarlet and Violet release on November 18 for Nintendo Switch.
