While this Gen 10 leak doesn't go into specifics, it claims that over 300 new creatures will be added in Pokemon Winds and Waves. Fans may want to take this leak with a grain of salt for the time being, since it would be almost double the previous biggest new Pokedex size in the franchise's history.

Pokemon Winds and Waves Leak Claims Over 300 New Pokemon Are Planned for Gen 10

According to the Pokémon leak aggregator account CentroLeaks on X, Pokemon Winds and Waves will have the highest number of new creatures ever added in a Pokémon game. Currently, Pokémon has 1,025 creatures total across its nine generations, but this leak alleges that the new Gen 10 games will add 300 more. This would account for close to a fourth of the total Pokemon in existence if true, making it a hard rumor to believe without substantial proof. However, CentroLeaks claims they have verified the information independently with other sources, giving the leak more credibility than usual.
