In this article, we have listed all confirmed and a few hinted Pokémon returning in Nintendo and Game Freak's upcoming Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.
Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves are upcoming role-playing games in the Pokémon franchise, arriving in 2027 as a Switch 2 exclusive.
It features new main characters with unique looks, new starter Pokémon, a brand new open world with beautiful windswept islands and a vast ocean, offering a ton of returning Pokémon and "new ones?" along with many other things.
Whenever we get a new entry in the Pokémon games franchise, the first thing that most players ask is what the returning Pokémon are and whether we are getting new ones. If so, who are they?
While the latter is still in the question phase, as Nintendo's first reveal trailer for Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves didn't offer much on that, we do have an extensive list of the confirmed returning Pokémon, along with a few hinted ones that are yet to be confirmed.
So with that said, here is the confirmed list for returning Pokémon in Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.
