We are only a few weeks out from the launch of Pokémon Sword and Shield and it looks like the leaks have apparently already blown open the entire Pokédex. Earlier this year it was revealed that Sword and Shield wouldn’t feature a complete national Pokédex leading to a bout of internet hysteria. By the looks of this new leak, we might be getting less than half of the full Pokémon roster. According to a mega leak thread on Reset Era, the new Pokémon titles will only have a Pokédex size of 400 creatures. That number is the same as the one found in Sun and Moon for anyone who didn’t do cross-gen trades. There will be 81 new types of Pokémon with 13 new Galarian forms. New shots of the starter evolutions and gigantamax Pokémon have also been revealed. But the rumored list of Pokémon is as follows.

An interesting list to be sure. I see a lot of Pokémon that I enjoy using still on here like Lucario, but plenty I am going to miss like Scyther.

What do you all think of this Pokédex leak? Are there Pokémon you are glad, or outraged, to see make the cut?
