There are over 1,000 Pokémon now in the series. That’s a big difference from the skinny first-generation 151s. While that’s an impressive number to see, it doesn’t necessarily mean that every Pokemon added over the years will make it into the latest entry. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the game only had 400 Pokémon. However, the problem extends far beyond Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Due to the large number of creatures present in the series, some Pokémon have been overlooked. So much so that they haven’t participated in any of the Nintendo Switch Pokémon games. So the question is, which Pokemon haven’t appeared in any of the Nintendo Switch games?

So until it’s confirmed that these Pokemon will appear in the DLC, it’s best to keep your expectations in check.
