Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Indigo Disk DLC is here and we've got the full list of all the new Pokemon you can catch, battle, or evolve.

This list includes new Paradox Pokemon, as well as evolutions for older Pokemon from the game. If you're a fan of Entei and Raikou, prepare yourself for some pretty bizarre new forms. I kind of love them, but they might not be for everyone.

All new Pokemon in The Indigo Disk

Here's the list of all new Indigo Disk Pokemon in the order they appear in the overall Pokedex.

Archaludon

Archaludon is the new evolution of Duraludon. This Pokemon was revealed in a trailer for The Indigo Disk, and it's a Steel/Dragon type just like its previous form.

It learns a new move called Electro Shot, which has 100% accuracy and 130 power. It raises Archaludon's special attack by one stage on the turn it's selected, then deals huge damage on the next turn.

Archaludon also has three abilities, Stamina, Sturdy or Stalwart. All one-word abilities that begin with the letter S, for some reason.

Hydrapple

In the last DLC, The Teal Mask, Applin got a new evolution called Dipplin. Now Dipplin gets its own evolution too called Hydrapple.

This is a new Grass/Dragon-type Pokemon that looks a lot like Dipplin - except it has numerous heads coming out of its apple body. It learns the move Fickle Beam which can double its power to 160 randomly if all of Hydrapple's heads shoot the beam at once.

Gouging Fire

Gouging Fire is the new Paradox form of Entei and it can be obtained in Pokemon Scarlet exclusively. It's a Fire/Dragon-type creature with the ability Protosynthesis.

It can learn Burning Bulwark, a new move that protects it from all moves that target it that turn and burns any attackers who would have made contact with Gouging Fire.

Raging Bolt

Raging Bolt is the new ancient version of Raikou, and it's based on a dinosaur with a very long neck. It's an Electric/Dragon type, continuing the theme of Entei and Suicune's past forms also being Dragon type. It's also exclusive to Scarlet.

It gets a new move called Thunderclap which has increased priority. It moves first if the target is about to attack, similar to how Sucker Punch works. This should give Raging Bolt a niche in competitive matches.

Iron Boulder

Iron Boulder is a new future form of Terrakion. It's a Rock/Psychic type and has a similar appearance to Iron Leaves, which was previously available during a Tera Raid event. It's exclusive to Pokemon Violet.

Iron Boulder learns Mighty Cleave, a move that has 95 power and hits the target regardless of whether it used a move like Protect or not.

Iron Crown

Iron Crown is the future form of Cobalion. It was revealed alongside Raging Bolt in a trailer for The Indigo Disk, and it's exclusive to Violet.

Iron Crown is a Steel/Psychic type and has the unique move Tachyon Cutter. This move hits twice and can't miss, and each hit has 50 power.

Terapagos

Finally, Terapagos is the headliner for The Indigo Disk. It starts out as a Normal-type Legendary Pokemon, but it has three different forms - the normal version, the Terastal Form, and the Stellar Form.

In its Terastal Form you can see all the Pokemon types within its turtle-like shell. Stellar Form is an even more impressive-looking form, and you'll see it during The Indigo Disk's story.

Terapagos can learn Tera Starstorm, a move with 120 power that damages all opposing Pokemon.

And that's it for the new Pokemon introduced in The Indigo Disk. If any more Pokemon are added during future events we'll be sure to add them to this list.
