Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Paradox Pokemon will most likely function as the games’ largest version exclusives, as they currently do with Pokemon Scarlet including the basic Tyranitar line and Pokemon Violet offering the base Salamence line. The first to be revealed today was the dox Tyranitar, and its general appearance doesn’t alter all that much, with its armour presumably changing into metal and the animal getting large neon-like spikes on its back, potentially indicating that it is Electric-type. According to the leaks, if that is the case, it will have to stick with either Rock or Dark as its main kind.
Tyranitar was followed by Paradox Salamence, although its appearance alters more radically than its companion pseudo-Legendary, and it acquires gigantic wings that resemble Mega Salamence from Gen 6 games, but this time more feather-like. The Pokemon’s body also changes more than its basic shape, and it seems to grow a more feathery texture on its skin, which also changes colour to become brighter. However, Paradox Salamence is more obvious than Paradox Tyranitar since the latter’s Pokedex image is taken from behind, which means that parts of its attributes may be absent until players encounter the monster in their game.
Because these are two older Pokemon with a lot of supporters apiece, Paradox Salamence and Paradox Tyranitar are even more likely to push the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet exclusive topic farther than Armarouge and Ceruledge did when they were unveiled. Still, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s co-op functionality should make version exclusives easier to get when playing with friends and strangers, implying that individuals who pre-ordered a certain edition of the game have a possibility of receiving monsters that are not in their base game. Finally, images of Paradox Salamence and Tyranitar may only be available for a short time, since Nintendo is aggressively pursuing leakers and leak aggregators.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be available for the Nintendo Switch on November 18.
