It sure looks like dozens of Pokémon set to appear in the upcoming Sword and Shield games have leaked, including the final evolutions of starters Sobble, Scorbunny, and Grookey. The leaks came from a throwaway Twitter account simply titled "@LeakPokemon," and while the leaks are obviously unconfirmed, many of them seem pretty convincing, and internet users naturally have opinions. What's going to follow below will contain huge potential spoilers for Pokémon Sword and Shield, and if you're not cool with that, don't scroll past Spoiler-defender Sirfetch'd below.

Still here? Then let's get into it.

The biggest potential leaks are the final evolutions of the starters: Scorbunny into Cinderace, Sobble into Intelleon, and Grookey into Rillaboom. They look like this:


A new Legendary named Eternatus also leaked:


Designs for many new Pokémon also leaked, but perhaps most interesting is the potential leak of the full roster, which consists of 400 Pokémon. The Bring Back National Dex campaign has had many fans worried about which Pokémon wouldn't make the cut. In what's sure to be a completely uncontroversial decision (cough), the Charmander line seems to have made the cut but not Bulbasaur or Squirtle.


So, with all the leaks out, how are the Pokémon fans of the internet reacting? Well, let's just say it's a mess.

Of course, this is not the first time a supposed Pokémon leak has rocked the internet. Twitter user @isMeguca posted a helpful reminder of the supposedly definite final evolutions of Rowlet, Popplio and Litten from Sun and Moon that turned out to be a big fat hoax.


Sword and Shield come out on November 15th.
