Due to the drought of news concerningPokemon Scarlet and Violet, which only got two trailers in the span of five months, fans are seeking information about the hottest topics, such as the starters, the battle gimmick, and new forms. It’s easy to find all sorts of alleged leaks online, from fake conceptual art of new Pokemon to multiple posts suggesting what the mechanics in the games are, but one insider has been sharing consistently true information. This is a leaker called Riddler Khu, who also revealed a lot aboutPokemon Legends: Arceusprior to its release last January, and is now active forPokemon Scarlet and Violetas well.
Khu did share information about thetype combinations ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s starters, with Sprigatito being allegedly Grass/Dark, Fuecoco Fire/Ghost, and Quaxly being Water/Fighting. However, fans also want to know how these Pokemon look, and Khu now shared some hints about the themes and middle stages of the starters after the cropped pictures of Sprigatito’s and Quaxly’s evolutions appeared online. In another tweet, Khu also finally revealed what the so-called “Regional Fakes” are.

Regional Fakes are seemingly Pokemon that have almost identical facial features compared to existing critters, but they are entirely different species that also have different types. This concept was first shared by Khu after thealleged leak of Diglett’s regional form, which was a massive Water-type Diglett with blue hues. In response to aPokemon Scarlet and Violetfan discussing what the Regional Fakes could be, Khu said that there is an eel Pokemon that behaves like Diglett and even has its face, but it’s a separate species with its own Pokedex number.
Another alleged leak from Khu describes the middle stageevolution of Fuecocoand shares the themes behind the evolutions for Sprigatito and Quaxly.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetwill seemingly have Fuecoco evolve into a crocodile with a flaming egg on its head, which matches the description Khu gave in the past few weeks about Fuecoco’s final evolution having a chicken on its head. As for Sprigatito, the Grass-type kitty’s evolution will have a mask on its face, and it will look a bit like a thief, whereas Quaxly embodies the themes of dancing and the peacock – likely meaning that its tail will grow bigger when it evolves.
A recent leak also confirmed thatPokemon Scarlet and Violetwill have DLC, much likePokemon SwordandShield, and this might add to the Regional Fakes by introducing even more of these Pokemon. As for the starters, the official images will likely appear online much closer to the release date, meaning that players shouldn’t expect them prior to October, at the very least.
Pokemon Scarlet andVioletrelease for Nintendo Switch on July 04, 2025.
