Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Leak Hints at Big Update on the Way

According to a new leak, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet could be adding a new Mythical Pokemon in a future update. Pokemon fans could be forgiven if they assumed that Nintendo and Game Freak had already closed the book on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. After all, the games released back in 2022 and have already had over a year of support through updates and substantial DLC expansions.

The DLC was followed up by a special Epilogue, which focused on a brand-new Mythical Pokemon called Pecharunt.

Pecharunt's debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was believed to be the end of support for the games, but a new leak suggests that even more is on the way.

This new Pokemon will supposedly be featured in the next animated Pokemon movie. Additional details are not available at the time of this writing.

With Pokemon Scarlet and Violet already releasing an Epilogue update, some may have assumed that this new Mythical Pokemon, whatever it may be, would instead be for future Pokemon games. New main series Pokemon games come out on a fairly regular basis, and one has to imagine that the Generation 10 Pokemon games are well underway at this point. However, it seems that there are still some adventures yet to finish in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

The leaks didn't reveal when the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Mythical will be unveiled to the masses, but the obvious time to do it would be Tuesday, February 27. February 27 is Pokemon Day, which often includes a presentation with
