Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk version exclusive trade codes

Depending on which version you buy, your copy of Pokemon Scarlet or Pokemon Violet The Indigo Disk will contain version-exclusive Pokemon that simply won’t appear in the other title.

This means that if you want to catch every Pokemon and have a completed Pokedex to show for your efforts, you’ll need to trade with a user who has the alternative game. If you have Pokemon Scarlet, then you’ll have to trade with someone who has Pokemon Violet, and vice versa.

Here are all the trade codes for version-exclusive Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk:

We should point out that these trade codes aren’t officially designated by Game Freak or Nintendo, but by AustinJohnPlays, a content creator whose trade codes have become widely accepted by the community.
