I long for a cool Paradox Pokémon like Koraidon. Sadly, I find it so hard to catch one 😪. I later learned I can’t even breed a Paradox using a Ditto.
That got me even more interested in these mysterious Pokémon. After doing some research, I finally figured out why I can’t breed a Paradox Pokémon.
Keep reading 🧐to learn more on this topic.
Why can’t you breed Paradox Pokémon?
You cannot breed Paradox Pokémon because they cannot produce eggs at a picnic 🤷🏽♀️. What’s more, the gender of Paradox is unknown, which means there is no way of classifying its eggs.
In light of this, there is no know way of getting paradox Pokémon to participate in the breeding process.
You can acquire them by catching them later in the game. Alternatively, you can trade with another player online to complete your Pokedex.
Can you get multiples of the Paradox Pokémon?
Yes, it’s possible to catch more than one Paradox mon in Scarlet & Violet. That’s because these Pokémon are not legendaries or Ultra Beasts.
Paradox Pokémon are usually roaming about in Area Zero which makes it easier to catch multiple Paradox Mons. To get here, you must enter the Greta Crater of Paldea.
On The Way Home (towards the end of the game), you’ll see the first wild Paradox mon. If you’re playing Scarlet, the Paradox will be Screech Tail, while Iron Bundle will appear in Voilet.
At this point, you can catch as many Paradox mons as you can because you’re in the wild. With that said there is an exception of Miraidon and Koraidon.
Unfortunately, there is a limit to the number of times you can catch these Pokémon. For example, if you’re playing Scarlet, Miraidon can only join your team after you win the entire game.
The same goes for Koraidon in Voilet.
When do you first encounter Paradox Pokémon?
The first encounter with a Paradox Pokémon happens within the first hour of the game, while the second appearance occurs in the Paths of Legends.
You will first meet Miraidon in Voilet and Koraidon in Scarlet. In the second Paradox meeting, you will see Iron Treads in Violet and Great Tusk in Scarlet.
Please note that you can only add these Pokemon after defeating the main stories. Your best shot is to wait for the final path or The Way Home.
What is special about Paradox Pokémon?
Paradox Pokémon- are considered special because of their high stats and good performance 💯. These Pokémon are incredibly skilled and have unique features that help them do well in battle.
Specifically, the Attack and Special attack features are particularly advanced in Paradox Pokémon.
This comes in handy socially when you boost its performance with defensive bulk or Speed stat. Going by stats, Miraidon and Koraidon are the most powerful Paradox Pokémon in the game.
What is the difference between Ancient and Future Paradox Pokémon?
It’s quite simple, future Paradox Pokémon are only in the Violet game, and Ancient Pokémon exist only in Scarlet .
As their name suggests, ancient Paradox Pokémons are from the past, while Future Paradox mons come from the future.
