The arrival of Blipbug, Dottler and Orbeetle this week is a good opportunity to look at all the other Pokémon yet to be released in Pokémon Go.

With no additions since 2023's Scarlet and Violet DLC, and Pokémon Wind and Waves's injection of new Pokémon not coming until 2027, I was initially worried we'd be down to slim pickings. But in fact, there's 82 unique Pokémon remaining - 50 from Gen 9 alone - and includes some of the most leftfield creatures to ever grace the series.

What follows is a list of unreleased Pokémon, generation-by-generation, and some facts to give us ideas on how they could be introduced whenever Niantic is ready.

Some notes before we begin...

Here's what you can expect from the following piece:

  • This list doesn't include unreleased forms of Pokémon already in the game, Gigantamax or Mega Evolutions. I'll likely cover these on the site in time, but since this article was running quite long with the image-heavy format I was aiming for, I wanted to keep it focused on wholly new additions.
  • Also not included are confirmed Gen 10 Pokémon, since they are technically not released anywhere yet.
  • The list is broken down by generation, and though it's broadly in Pokédex order, I've decided to bunch together certain Pokémon and move entries around where it makes sense (groups of legendaries and Paradox Pokémon are two good examples).

Phew! That's a lot. As mentioned, this does not include alternate forms of existing Pokémon, remaining Gigantamax and Mega Evolutions, so with all that combined, Niantic still has a fair number to play with before Gen 10 eventually arrives.
