All Pokemon confirmed to be returning in Scarlet and Violet's The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC

Several old Pokemon have been confirmed to be returning in Scarlet and Violet's The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC.

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.
