Pokemon Scarlet & Violet brought back a large chunk of Gen 8 Pokemon but neglected to include a few fan favorites in order to make way for the Gen 9 stars. Notable missing Pokemon include Wooloo, Alcremie, and Centiskorch, which were some of the most popular Pokemon in the game. Interestingly, however, Sword and Shield's regional fish Arrokuda and Barraskewda made the cut. Here's how to catch them in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
How To Get Arrokuda in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Arrokuda, as demonstrated by its habitat map, is not a hard Pokemon to find. It may be difficult to see under the water, but players are bound to run into one sooner or later. Here are all the areas that Arrokuda can be found:
- South Province (Area One)
- South Province (Area Two)

How To Evolve Arrokuda In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
No special evolution method is required to get Barraskewda, players will just need to level Arrokuda to Level 26. This can be done by battling with EXP Share or using Rare/EXP candies.
How To Get Barraskewda in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Like Arrokuda, Barraskewda is hard to miss. It can be caught in almost any sea or river in Paldea, with notable exceptions being the rivers around Poco Path in the early game. Barraskewda can only travel in a straight line, so it should be fairly easy to catch, provided the player has a well-equipped team and plenty of Pokeballs:
