Pokemon Winds and Waves Leaks Reveal Weather-Form Evolutions and Gen 10 Additions
Fresh leaks tied to Pokemon Winds and Waves have surfaced online, pointing to new regional variant and weather-form evolutions for a long list of familiar pocket monsters—plus an additional batch of Gen 10 additions that fans have not previously seen tied to the upcoming open-world titles.
What the leaks say is coming
The reported roster of evolutions and forms includes regional variants or weather-style forms for: Drowzee, Psyduck, Shellos, Nincada, Houndour, Zweilous, Onix, Clamperl, Pikachu, Lucario, Kecleon, Arcanine, and Salandit. The weather forms are described as a Castform-like gimmick expected to show up in the new region.
It’s not yet confirmed whether any of these newly highlighted species will be used by Gym Leaders or the Elite Four, but the leak claims the game’s type spread could make that plausible given what’s already shown as likely trainer coverage.
Gym and Elite Four typing: the rumored split
The leaks also include a theory for how battles may be organized in Pokemon Winds and Waves>. Because the games are widely expected to follow an open-world structure similar to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, story progress may send players through Gym challenges in multiple orders. The Gym typing is believed to include eight types: Grass, Poison, Flying, Fighting, Dark, Normal, Steel, and Fairy.
From there, the leak’s logic suggests the remaining four types would map to the Elite Four: Electric, Water, Bug, and Dragon. It also notes a few historical patterns—such as the idea that Electric has not previously had an Elite Four specialist, while Water, Bug, and Dragon have appeared repeatedly in late-game Gym/Elite Four-style matchups.
Platform scope and timing
No platform-specific release details are included in the material provided. What is clear is the target launch window: Pokemon Winds and Waves is slated for a 2027 release.
That also means any additional information coming this year would likely be incremental, with fewer major details expected until later in the cycle.
What changed (leak highlights)
- Regional variant and/or weather-form evolutions are flagged for 13 specific species: Drowzee, Psyduck, Shellos, Nincada, Houndour, Zweilous, Onix, Clamperl, Pikachu, Lucario, Kecleon, Arcanine, and Salandit.
- A Castform-like weather-form gimmick is implied as part of the new region’s mechanics.
- Gym typing is rumored to cover: Grass, Poison, Flying, Fighting, Dark, Normal, Steel, and Fairy.
- Elite Four typing is rumored to be: Electric, Water, Bug, and Dragon.
- A separate leak claim says seven new Gen 10 Pokémon have been shown for the first time.
What comes next
The leaks are presented as documentation tied to a broader “Teraleak,” and the material is described as coming from earlier in development. Because of that timing, the information—and even the overall region layout referenced in the leak—could still shift before release.
For now, fans are advised not to treat the details as final. With Pokemon Winds and Waves still scheduled for 2027, more reliable announcements and official reveals are expected closer to the game’s launch period.
