Scarlet and Violet players want Pikachu’s scrapped final evolution to return as Paradox Pokémon

With Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s upcoming DLC, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, confirmed to bring in new Paradox Pokémon like Raging Bolt and Iron Crown, fans are hoping to see Pikachu’s scrapped final evolution make its debut as a past Paradox form.

In a Sept. 4 Reddit thread, Scarlet and Violet players believe they’ve found the perfect Paradox Pokémon—Gorochu, who was intended to be Pikachu’s final evolution after Raichu in the Gen I games, according to Game Freak developers. This unfortunately didn’t end up happening due to a lack of data space, ultimately cutting Gorochu from the game and later replacing it with Pikachu’s pre-evolution, Pichu.
