Overview
- On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, the X user CentroLeaks posted a report saying Pokémon Winds and Waves (Gen 10) would add about 300 new Pokédex entries, a figure later picked up and analyzed by multiple outlets.
- The leak also describes a new weather-based form mechanic that would change some Pokémon’s appearance and possibly their types or abilities when certain weather conditions occur.
- News sites say CentroLeaks claimed independent verification but urged caution, and The Pokémon Company, Nintendo and Game Freak have not confirmed any of the details.
- Analysts note the 300 figure could include many alternate or weather-triggered forms rather than 300 wholly new species, which would explain how the number could exceed the usual 100–150 new Pokémon per generation.
- If the report proves accurate, the expansion would markedly grow the franchise’s Pokédex and affect competitive and in-game design; fans should watch for official word from the companies and further corroboration before treating the leak as fact.
