All Pokemon games feature exclusives. It has been kind of a tradition, now that there are two versions of each one. Splitting Pokemon into two games can be hard for players to decide which one to choose. So to make sure that you grab the version that suits you, we’ve compiled a list of all Pokemon Scarlet & Violet exclusive pokemons.
In addition to version-exclusive Pokemon, Scarlet & Violet are also introducing a few other differences depending on what version you pick up. New school uniforms, professors, books, and many more. To find out exactly what you’re getting in each of these versions, keep reading.
Scarlet and Violet Exclusive Pokemons
There are always version-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon games that release as a pair. The idea is, of course, to encourage a sense of community alongside the drive to catch them all. Below, there are many other exclusives other than the “Box Legendaries” and late-game “Paradox Forms“.
Koraidon and Miraidon are two Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Box Legendaries. These two legendary Pokemon will be your method of transportation around the Paldea region across the land, water, and air. Choose wisely as you’ll likely be seeing a lot of Koraidon and Miraidon.

According to the official information, the Scarlet Book and Violet Book would be volumes containing various information. An unexplored area of the Paldea region and many more fictional tales are to be unveiled. Which one are you choosing?
 Exclusive Professors
There are only Version Exclusive Professors. Professor Sara is the professor in Scarlet, and Professor Turo is the professor in Violet.
 Exclusive Academics and Outfits
While the Pokemon featured in each one are the main differences, there are some tied to the school as well. Although both of them take place in the same Paldea region, the academy you attend in the large city of Mesagoza is different.
- The Pokemon Scarlet school is Naranja Academy and features a uniform with red accents. It is also the game with Professor Sada as your mentor.
- In Pokemon Violet, players will attend Uva Academy, wear a uniform with purple in it, and be reporting to Professor Turo.
NOTE: There are only four options for the uniform and you cannot change it. You’ll be stuck with purple clothes in Violet and orange-red clothes in Scarlet. The outfits will vary from shorts to trousers and will provide you with different coats and jackets.
Other Legendaries Forms
Bikes
The exclusive Koraidon and Miraidon have wheels in their designs and it’s official that both of them can turn into Pokemons.
- Koraidon can turn into Spriting Build Koraidon, like a flying jet.
- Miraidon can transform into Drive Mode Miraidon, with a sleeky design.
Water
Again, both Koraidon and Miraidon can transform themselves into water versions.
- Koraidons transformation is said to be ‘Swimming Build‘, which puffs up its front wheel to float.
- Miraidon’s ‘Aquatic Mode‘, looks like a futuristic engine that uses legs to move in the water.
Gliding
As both of them are dragons, they can fly high! Or glide, at least.
- Koraidon’s ‘Gliding Build‘, makes it look like a prehistoric bird.
- Miraidon’s on the other hand, ‘Glide Mode‘ looks like a glader fit of James Bond.
