It used to be the case that every new Pokémon game would include every monster from the games that came before it. With the total list now approaching 1,000 critters, it just isn’t possible to fit them all in a single game, mainline or otherwise. Following the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the next entry isn’t going to be Generation 10 or a remake, but a new entry in the Legends game called Pokémon Legends: Z-A. We know we’re returning to Lumiose City from Black and White to work our way up the ranks of a tournament, but the full roster of Pokémon is still a mystery. I’ve been picking through all the promotional material released so far to round up a list of all the Pokémon we can confirm are going to be included when it launches in 2025 for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Every confirmed Pokémon
In the initial trailer alone, over 30 Pokémon have been spotted and identified, and we got even more with the second trailer. We haven’t seen any Shiny Pokémon, regional forms, or Legendaries besides Zygarde yet, so even though this list is already very long, there could be more waiting to be discovered. Here’s every one I was able to confirm, including all their evolutions and Mega Evolutions:
