In both Generation IX games, Paradox Pokemon are unlocked in the post-game, accessible only after reaching Area Zero. If you're playing Pokemon Scarlet, you'll encounter ancient variants, whereas Pokemon Violet introduces futuristic versions. Ancient Paradox Pokemon boast the Protosynthesis ability, which boosts their highest stat by 30% under Sunny Day conditions. Conversely, futuristic Pokemon feature the Quark Drive ability, enhancing their top stat by 30% in Electric terrain.
Paradox Pokemon have quickly become a staple in the competitive scene, making them invaluable for both newcomers and seasoned players. Here's a detailed list of all Paradox Pokemon, their types, and the Pokemon they are based on.
