Pokémon Scarlet and Violet came with a brand-new experience that evolved all “original” Pokémon to something spectacular. You can see the reflection of all the original Pokémon in the ones in the game. There are many rare ones in the game, but where do players find them is the tricky question.
Simply put, a paradox refers to something that looks like something but is not it. Paradox Pokémon are both ancient and futuristic, are all genderless, can’t evolve, and have different abilities.
Chronologically speaking, Scarlet Pokémon are ancient, while Violet Pokémon are futuristic. Most of these Paradox Pokémon are known to have a base stat of 570 and some even carry a base stat of 590 (Roaring moon and Iron Valiant).
But the trick is that Pokémon Scarlet has its collection, while Pokémon Violet has its own. If you have collecting and hoarding tendencies then you will find great joy in collecting all the Pokémon from both Scarlet and Violet. You can also consider Koraidon and Miraidon as Paradox Pokemon due to their similar traits to Cyclizar.
It is easy to find all the Pokémon when you have combed through every hidden cave, secret passage, and time in Pokémon SV. These Pokémon are transported here via the time machine into the Pladea. But for new players, we have prepared this guide to locate them easily, but you still need to level up to get them.
