'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of Pokémon found in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups, one made of Pokémon resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|S}}, and one resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|V}}. They are all [[gender unknown]], unable to [[Evolution|evolve]], unable to breed, and—with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}—their names do not follow regular naming conventions, thus having different names in {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}. | '''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of Pokémon found in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years ago in Area Zero, in the Great Crater located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero exploration team named Heath wrote about these sightings in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. Eventually, a paranormal magazine called Occulture published articles on these sightings and theorized about what the Paradox Pokémon could be. | The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years ago in Area Zero, in the Great Crater located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. The player's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. It is later revealed that Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. | ||
Later, during the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/an {{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} escaped and became a [[Titan Pokémon]] that roamed the [[Asado Desert]].

At Research Station 2, they encountered a {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/an {{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}. At Research Station 3, they encountered a Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/an Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, at Research Station 4, the second Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} was encountered before the group was ambushed by a group of Paradox Pokémon: Great Tusk, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}; or Iron Treads, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} used seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine, only for the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to put a stop to it. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} used it one final time to travel into the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}. | ||
Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. | Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. | ||
