Games
Scarlet · Violet · The Teal Mask · The Indigo Disk
Generation IX introduced 120 new Pokémon across Paldea, a region inspired by the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). Scarlet and Violet were the first fully open-world mainline Pokémon games, allowing players to tackle the three story paths (Victory Road, Starfall Street, Path of Legends) in any order. The generation introduced Paradox Pokémon — ancient and future forms of existing Pokémon — and the Terastal phenomenon, a crystalline transformation that can change a Pokémon's type. Gholdengo is widely considered one of the most competitively dominant Pokémon of its era.

Challenge Run Tip
Scarlet and Violet's open-world structure creates unique Nuzlocke challenges since you can encounter high-level Pokémon in any area. Many challenge runners set self-imposed level caps per gym or milestone. The open world means you need more careful planning around where you explore to avoid encountering Pokémon far above your current team's level.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Pokémon are in Generation 9?
Generation 9 (Paldea) introduced 120 new Pokémon, from Sprigatito (#906) to Pecharunt (#1025). Including the DLC (The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk), Gen 9 games have access to one of the largest Pokédexes of any mainline title.
What are Paradox Pokémon in Gen 9?
Paradox Pokémon are ancient or futuristic versions of existing Pokémon found in Area Zero. Ancient Paradox Pokémon appear in Scarlet (e.g., Great Tusk — an ancient Donphan) while Future Paradox Pokémon appear in Violet (e.g., Iron Treads — a robotic Donphan). They have unique typings and generally high stat totals, making them sought-after for competitive play.
What is the Terastal phenomenon in Gen 9?
Terastallizing is Gen 9's battle mechanic that temporarily transforms a Pokémon into a crystalline form and changes its type to its Tera Type. Every Pokémon has a hidden Tera Type that can differ from its base type — a Fire-type Charizard might have a Water Tera Type, for example. This adds a layer of strategy since the Tera Type is hidden until activated.
