Unlocking the Secrets of Paradox Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet introduced Paradox Pokémon, unique variations of existing Pokémon with ancient or futuristic forms. Unlike regional variants, these Pokémon represent drastically altered versions, adding a new layer of depth to the game. This guide details everything you need to know about these compelling creatures.

Accessing Paradox Pokémon

Paradox Pokémon are exclusively available in the post-game, after reaching Area Zero. Pokémon Scarlet players encounter ancient Paradox Pokémon, while Pokémon Violet players encounter their futuristic counterparts. Ancient forms possess the Protosynthesis ability (30% stat boost in Sunny Day), and futuristic forms have Quark Drive (30% stat boost in Electric Terrain).
