Several old Pokemon have been confirmed to be returning in Scarlet and Violet's The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. Technically, there are two waves: One for The Teal Mask and the other for The Indigo Disk. Each DLC has a different set of returning features, so it's worth covering both in this article. Note that everything listed below is only what has been confirmed thus far.

Any other Pokemon not on the following lists may still return in either DLC for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. Nothing specific about Version Exclusives for Scarlet and Violet has been announced at the moment. The full list of everything returning will be shown in the following section.

Scarlet and Violet trainers interested in this upcoming DLC must purchase it from the Nintendo eShop to explore the new areas. The DLC costs $34.99 in the United States, and its price will vary in other regions. Trainers who don't purchase it are expected to still be able to get all the Pokemon via trading.

An announcement for The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk's true release dates is expected to arrive in the upcoming months. Otherwise, trainers must be patient for more news or possibly leaks related to further information to come out.
