While Trainers are excited to see the new additions, many also want to know which ones are returning so that they can have their favorites on their team. Here’s all of the returning Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – and there are more than you may think.

Though the Gen 9 games don’t have the National Pokedex, that doesn’t mean Game Freak has skimped out on adding Pokemon from previous Generations. There are many friendly faces that you’ll recognize as you explore every inch of Paldea, whether it’s in the desert, in grassy plains, or while swimming in the ocean.
