However, even after two full generations of Pok\u00e9mon games on the Nintendo Switch, not every species is going to be available. Not long after The Treasure of Area Zero DLC Expansion Pass was revealed for Game Freak\u2019s Gen IX titles, data for a full list of Pok\u00e9mon returning as part of the post-launch additional content.\u00a0Just like with how Sword and Shield\u2019s DLC brought Pok\u00e9mon that weren\u2019t featured in Gen VII\u2019s base game onto the Switch for the first time, along with new additions, Scarlet and Violet will seemingly do the same with over 223 existing species. After the initial leak, some names stuck out as being omitted from the data. Now, it is clear exactly 15 Pok\u00e9mon are not only missing their return trip in SV\u2019s DLC but will also be the only species not featured or obtainable in any form on the Switch\u2014based on datamined info. Here is the full list of Pok\u00e9mon that are not making the jump, and will therefore still be unobtainable on Switch: Snivy, Servine, and SerperiorTepig, Pignite, and EmboarPatrat and WatchogPansage and SimisagePansear and SimisearPanpour and SimipourFurfrou Each of these Pok\u00e9mon will not be added as part of the new DLC and is not available in previous games on the Switch. Ultimately, this means you won\u2019t be able to use Pok\u00e9mon HOME to transfer them into Scarlet and Violet at any point because they are not compatible with the games, as was the case with hundreds of Pok\u00e9mon in Sword and Shield. Related: Detective Pikachu 2 on the way, but it isn\u2019t what Pok\u00e9mon fans expected Outside of Furfrou, all of the Pok\u00e9mon on this list were first introduced in Black and White as starter Pok\u00e9mon or early encounters. The only exception is Oshawott, the Water stater for Gen V, which will be available thanks to its inclusion in Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus. Early speculation from fans points to these Pok\u00e9mon not being included because the next games in development at Game Freak are the remakes of Gen V. Considering we got remakes of Diamond and Pearl in 2021, that projection lines up well with the production timeline leading into a post-SV DLC release window. All of this information is based on datamined files, so there is plenty of room for things to change or differ once SV\u2019s DLC does officially release. So, wait for confirmation before taking any of this as fact just yet.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/05185056\/Snivy-anime.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813389"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813389"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":813446,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813389\/revisions\/813446"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813389"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=813389"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=813389"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=813389"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=813389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
