Breeding Paradoxin in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Explained
Paradox Pokemon is a new feature of Scarlet and Violet. While the creatures themselves look like prehistoric or futuristic ancestors of familiar creatures to us, they’re totally unheard of for the people of the Paldea region. Similarly to the Ultra Beasts from the Alola region, you’ll remember if you played Sun & Moon, Paradox Pokemon fall under a unique classification from conventional Pokemon in your Pokedex. As such, Paradox Pokemon are not able to be used as breeding partners and will not produce an Egg while attending a Pokemon Picnic. The only way to obtain Paradox Pokemon is to progress through to the later stages of the game when they become available for capture. The first opportunity you will have to capture one is during the final path, The Way Home. You can capture as many as you like in Area Zero, except for Koraidon and Miraidon, who you can only have one of and can only be obtained after beating the main story. It’s also worth noting that several Paradox Pokemon are exclusive to either Scarlet or Violet and so if you truly want to catch em’ all, then you’ll need to resort to transferring — though, as we’ve noted in our dedicated guide on transferring, that isn’t coming until next year. Still, for the Paradox pokemon you capture, remember that Mints allow you to train them according to the stats you’d most prefer, which is essentially the point of breeding in the first place. Check out Twinfinite’s full list of Mints and where to find them.
