Unseen Pokemon Scarlet and Violet creatures are beginning to leak online, reportedly due to a broken street date for the new RPG.

Yesterday, on November 6, several posts on the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet subreddit, all from the same user, appeared to depict new creatures for the two games. The user's posts leak two brand new Pokemon for the Paldean region and evolutions for starter Pokemon Fuecoco and newcomer Smoliv.

While we won't reveal any actual details or evolutions provided by the leaker here, it's worth noting that other early copies of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet could have made their way into the wild. We might just be seeing one user here leaking information, but there could well be other players with early copies of the new Pokemon games.

Check out our Pokemon Scarlet and Violet PokeDex guide for a full list of all the other 'mons unveiled for the new adventure so far.
