Which Pokemons are not in Scarlet?
The Pokémon games Scarlet and Violet have a vast array of catchable Pokémon, but not all Pokémon from the franchise are available in the game, with some notable exceptions including Chikorita, Bayleef, Meganium, and Joltik. The absence of a National Pokédex in Scarlet and Violet means that many Pokémon are missing from the game, although the introduction of Pokémon Home will allow players to access a much larger library of Pokémon across all Nintendo Switch titles.
