'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups: one appearing in Pokémon Scarlet resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon, and one appearing in Pokémon Violet resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They are all [[gender unknown]] and unable to [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], and — with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} — their names do not follow regular Pokémon naming conventions. All of them [[List of categories by abundance|share the category]] of "{{pkmn|category|Paradox Pokémon}}".
