Images from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have leaked online, illustrating what Paradox Salamence and Paradox Tyranitar look like based on data mines. This follows today’s video for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which revealed the first Paradox Pokemon, Great Tusk and Iron Treads, both Paradox versions of Donphan, but with the former being an ancient version and the latter being a future version. According to the leaks that preceded today’s revelation, Paradox Salamence and Paradox Tyranitar act similarly, since they are each restricted to one version of the game: Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, respectively.
Paradox Pokemon are a whole new idea introduced in Gen 9, and it seems that they may be linked to the larger plot of the Paldea area, maybe appearing in certain spots suggested by the mysterious Scarlet and Violet volumes shown today. The kinds of each Paradox Pokemon vary to some extent, and they are said to be dual-type pocket monsters in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. According to the leaks, Great Tusk will be a Ground/Fighting hybrid, whilst Iron Treads will be Ground/Electric.
