Here are the craziest leaks about "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet" that you need to know.
It's no wonder that the highly-anticipated release of "Pokemon SV" is already riddled with speculations and leaks from various sources.
Most importantly, some of them make sense and that's the exciting part about this. Other reports appear to be illogical although they just partially tell about the actual event that might happen soon in the game.
New Gimmick For Competitive Battles
So far, we have seen Mega Evolutions from "Pokemon X and Y," Z Moves from "Pokemon Sun and Moon," and Dynamax/Gigantamax mechanics from "Pokemon Sword and Shield." However, there's a chance that a new gimmick is just lurking around the corner in "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet."
According to a report by The Gamer a month ago, the next Pokemon video game which is slated for a late 2022 release will present a new gimmick for the open-world game.
Particularly, the leak suggests that "S & V" will introduce a tri-type Pokemon. It should be noted that the player can have the power to add another type on his/her Pokemon apart from the dual types that it currently has.
It's indeed an interesting feature if it will be added since it can elevate the competitive battling once again to a new level. However, some content creators oppose this idea since it can disrupt the whole beauty of the competition in just a single typing change.
New Legendary Regional Forms
Prominent Pokemon game tipster Khu has released another riddle to ponder for the fans. The leaker says that "Pokemon Scarlet & Violet" could introduce new regional forms to select legendary Pokemon in the Gen 9 region.
According to a report by Gamerant, this time, we could potentially get new "Spanish region" variants for Lugia, Groudon, and Kyogre.
Previously, we already got the Galarian forms of legendary birds (Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno) in "Pokemon Sword and Shield." What's exciting here is what type will be added to make them more impactful in the game.

Gen 9 Regional Variants For Diglett and Spritzee
The rumors about the regional forms for "Pokemon SV" hint at the alleged arrival of Diglett and Spritzee in the completely new design.
As Dot Esports writes, the redesigned variants have opened new opportunities for the less-used Pokemon in the game.
As for the leak, Diglett appears to be sticking out from the ground and it's a taller version of the original Pokemon. The mole will have clouds surrounding his upper body.
Another thing here is that fans speculate that it could adopt a water typing this time because of the "geyser" hint shared by the leaker.
As for Spritzee, the pink color palette of this Fairy-type Pokemon will now change into orange and black with a touch of yellow in its eyes. Sources say that this could be the first Fairy/Fire-type Pokemon that will exist if this rumor is true.
Another leak about the regional variants suggests that one Water/Ground Pokemon (from Gen 2, 3, 4, or 5) will adopt a new typing.
For this rumor, fans have speculated that either Swampert, Gastrodon, Quagsire, Seismitoad, or Whiscash will likely be the recipient of this perk.
