Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The 10 best new Pokémon

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet added 103 new Pokémon, so it was a tall task to pick out the very best.

There are plenty of things to love about Pokémon, but the chances are what first drew you into the series are the Pokémon themselves. The new roster is always the most exciting part of a new game, and with Scarlet and Violet adding 103 of the critters – the most new additions since Generations 5 – there is a lot to choose from.

We’ve completed our Pokédex and have had time to get to know all of the new Pokémon well enough to pick out our favorites. We’ve already chosen the worst new Pokémon if you’d rather see the bottom of the barrel, but right now we’re spreading positivity and talking about the ones that bring us joy.
