Scarlet and Violet's Paldea Pokedex is the first in a fully open-world game. Terastallization lets any Pokemon swap to any type mid-battle, which flips matchups on their head.

Filter by type or stats to explore the full dex.

How to access additional Pokemon in Scarlet & Violet

Paldea's dex covers 400 Pokemon in a fully open world. Mass Outbreaks and Tera Raid Battles are the main dex-filling tools. Five-star and six-star raids often feature Pokemon with Hidden Abilities that don't appear in the overworld.

The Teal Mask DLC (Kitakami) adds 200 Pokemon, and The Indigo Disk (Blueberry Academy) adds 243. Blueberry Quests also unlock starters from past generations. Pokemon HOME fills in anything else coded into the game data.
