How to Get Version-Exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
It can be frustrating trying to complete your Pokedex when certain Pokemon will never appear in your version of the game. Thankfully, there are a few ways around the version-exclusive limitations to let you truly catch ’em all. Here are two ways to get those Pokedex entries from the other game version:
- Trade with someone who has the other game version
- Use Pokemon Home to transfer from another game, such as Pokemon GO.
Keep in mind the second option will only work with Pokemon who can be caught in another game, so Paradox Pokemon and other Paldean additions may still be tough to get ahold of.
