New Pokémon are flooding Scarlet and Violet, but VGC isn’t their HOME yet
Thanks to Pokémon HOME’s big update, tons of new Pokémon have been brought over to Scarlet and Violet from previous games including Legends: Arceus, Sword, and Shield. These new additions range from Starters like Rillaboom to Hisuian ‘mons like Ursaluna.
As one might expect, throwing all of these new Pokémon into the Paldea region will change a lot of things—especially the competitive meta. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. The current Regulation C format will continue for another month until the end of June, meaning none of the new Pokémon are actually legal in VGC yet.
