Similar to Ultra Beasts, these Pokémon will appear as either past or future versions of certain Pokémon — and whether you get the past form or future form will depend on which game you pick up. Reportedly, Scarlet players will have access to past versions of Pokémon, while Violet players will get the future versions. Little else is known about these variants at this time, but they'll reportedly be incredibly powerful Pokémon to have on your team. According to @CentroLeaks on Twitter, these Pokémon are rumored to receive past or future forms in the upcoming games:Jigglypuff (past)Amoonguss (past)Volcarona (past/future)Salamence (past)Misdreavus (past)Delibird (future)Gallade (future)Tyranitar (future)Hariyama (future)Article continues below advertisement Again, the exact number of Pokémon that will receive regional variants hasn't yet been confirmed, and until the game is released and players get a chance to dive into the entire PokéDex, we likely won't have a clear idea as to just how many different regional variants there are. But regardless, Gen 9 seems to be filled with plenty of new content to keep Pokémon fans entertained when the new games release. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will release on Nov. 18 for Nintendo Switch.AdvertisementMore from Distractify 'Pokémon Scarlet' and 'Violet' Introduces Co-Op Play With the Union Circle See Legendaries Koraidon and Miraidon in Action in 'Pokémon Scarlet and Violet' You Can "Terastallize" Your Pokémon in 'Scarlet' and 'Violet' — Here's How Latest Pokémon News and UpdatesAdvertisementABOUT DistractifyAbout UsPrivacy PolicyTerms of UseDMCASitemapCONNECT with DistractifyLink to Facebook Link to TwitterLink to InstagramContact us by Email Copyright 2022 Distractify.
