The upcoming Gen 10 Pokémon games, Winds and Waves, have been causing a wave of excitement as players anticipate all of the next-gen changes they'll finally bring to the series. As they are the very first Pokémon games to exclusively launch on the Nintendo Switch 2, expectations are rather lofty. It doesn't help that the vast majority of the Nintendo Switch Pokémon titles, while commercially successful, failed to resonate with fans in much the same way as the DS titles did.
Well, adding fuel to the fire and potentially getting the level of hype even higher is the official confirmation that over 100 Pokémon we already know about will be appearing in the game. It's an exciting reveal, one that will likely get fans talking and potentially even building their own team well in advance of the game's release. Considering that Pokémon Winds and Waves' release date isn't too far off, it won't be long until we'll be able to finally start catching these 100+ 'mons in the game's stunning new region.
Pokémon Winds and Waves' initial trailer gave us a great look at all the Pokémon we should be expecting to see when the full game launches. While the full Pokédex has obviously yet to be announced, over 100 Pokémon have already been confirmed from the game. Of course, none of these are Gen 10 exclusive Pokémon, as the only ones seen in the trailer (beyond the starter Pokémon) were from previous generations.
Rather, the Pokémon we already know to appear in the game include 'mons from across the past nine generations, especially surrounding games like Red and Green and even more recent titles. This shouldn't come as a complete surprise, especially as Scarlet and Violet featured an enormous roster of previous Gen Pokémon, alongside its handful of new inclusions. From the trailer alone, 54 Pokémon have been directly confirmed to be in the game. This obviously includes evolutions of Pokémon seen in the trailer, but that don't appear themselves. The 54 Pokémon are:
- Carnivine
- Corsola
- Duskull
- Dusclops
- Dusknoir
- Frillish
- Jellicent
- Finneon
- Lumineon
- Krabby
- Kingler
- Ledyba
- Ledian
- Mareanie
- Toxapex
- Nymble
- Lokix
- Oddish
- Gloom
- Bellossom
- Vileplume
- Pichu
- Pikachu
- Raichu
- Sandygast
- Palossand
- Sizzlipede
- Centiskorch
- Slugma
- Magcargo
- Taillow
- Swellow
- Tangela
- Tangrowth
- Tropius
- Tympole
- Palpitoad
- Seismitoad
- Tynamo
- Eelektrik
- Eelektross
- Wailmer
- Wailord
- Wingull
- Pelipper
- Browt
- Browt's first evolution
- Browt's second evolution
- Pombon
- Pombon's first evolution
- Pombon's second evolution
- Gecqua
- Gecqua's first evolution
- Gecqua's second evolution
In addition to these 54 Pokémon are the two Winds and Waves box legendaries, as well as Galarian Corsola and its evolution, Cursola, who will both likely appear considering we've already seen Corsola in the trailer. Furthermore, an additional 44 Pokémon are also likely confirmed to appear in Winds and Waves. This is because 18 Pokémon can be seen in various drawings throughout the trailer, which all but confirm their existence in the game, as well as their assorted evolutions. These additional 44 Pokémon are:
- Alolan Raichu
- Cramorant
- Deerling
- Sawsbuck
- Eevee
- Vaporeon
- Jolteon
- Flareon
- Espeon
- Umbreon
- Leafeon
- Glaceon
- Flabebe
- Floette
- Florges
- Fletchling
- Fletchinder
- Talonflame
- Furfrou
- Gimmighoul
- Gholdengo
- Keckleon
- Larvitar
- Pupitar
- Tyranitar
- Lechonk
- Oinkologne
- Skiddo
- Gogoat
- Slowpoke
- Slowbro
- Slowking
- Galarian Slowpoke
- Galarian Slowbro
- Galarian Slowking
- Starly
- Staravia
- Staraptor
- Snover
- Abomasnow
- Swablu
- Altaria
- Wattrel
- Kilowattrel
That makes for 102 confirmed Pokémon in Winds and Waves. There will almost certainly be hundreds more previous Gen Pokémon appearing in Winds and Waves, as well as the aforementioned Gen 10 exclusives; so, expect the Pokédex to be suitably massive. However, it is nice to know that these specific Pokémon have made the cut, as they will hopefully make Pokémon Winds and Waves much more exciting and nuanced experiences.
