Version-exclusive Pokémon have existed since the beginning of the series. Making certain Pokémon exclusive to one game forces players to trade with one another or buy the other versions to complete their Pokédex. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet continue this tradition by having a long list of Pokémon that you can only catch in one game or the other. So, if you ended up getting Pokémon Violet, you might be wondering, what Pokémon are exclusive to Pokémon Violet?

How to get Pokémon from Pokémon Scarlet
There are three ways to get Pokémon that are only in Pokémon Scarlet. The first way would be to get them via trading. The other two ways involve the new multiplayer features: Union Circle and Tera Raid Battles. Union Circle allows friends to play and even battle wild Pokémon together. Meanwhile, Tera Raid Battles have you take on Terastallized wild Pokémon that you need to be within a time limit. The downside is that you will need an internet connection and a Nintendo Online subscription to access any of these options.
