New Pokémon Winds and Waves Leaks Claim 7 Gen 10 Pokémon Are Real
Fresh Pokémon leaks have started circling online for Pokémon Winds and Waves, and they reportedly include seven brand-new pocket monsters from Gen 10. The timing is especially surprising: even though fans have been expecting information to remain scarce, it seems details are getting out anyway despite the fact that the Switch 2 can’t currently be datamined. So far, what the community does know about Gen 10 is mostly limited to the official game titles, the three starters, and a handful of places teased in the Pokémon Day 2026 trailer.
Leak Claims a Full Set of Gen 10 Monsters
A well-known Pokémon leaker has taken to social media to back up an earlier claim about Pokémon Winds and Waves—and the confirmation doesn’t bring good news for players hoping for a clean slate. The latest batch centers on a post from Centro Leaks, who shared a collection of images on Twitter. The images are presented as puzzles pointing to upcoming Gen 10 Pokémon.
The leak is said to come from Billy, described as a trusted figure within the Pokémon community. Billy’s reputation is supported by prior reports, including a leak about Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen being ported to the Switch. If the newest information holds up, the puzzle images are meant to represent seven additional Gen 10 Pokémon—but the community’s understanding is currently limited to speculation about their appearance, possible types, and potential moves based on the riddle-style clues.
- A bird-themed Pokémon, potentially with pirate influences and a wooden leg.
- A kangaroo Pokémon drawing inspiration from the Vogelkop Tree Kangaroo species. The clues suggest a connection to boxing (likely pointing toward a Fighting-type), as well as a reference to Machapuchare, a mountain in Nepal (South Asia). The mountain detail is noted as important because it’s not in Southeast Asia, where the game’s setting is said to be. While the riddle could indicate a Rock-type, it’s unclear whether the depicted mountain is the same Machapuchare or if the name carries a different meaning.
- A Komodo dragon Pokémon that ties back to an earlier Gen 10 leak, with the suggestion that it may be able to spit fire. The new claim also says it doesn’t seem connected to Gecqua, implying the Water-starter’s evolutions in Pokémon Winds and Waves might not include this animal.
- A long-beaked echidna Pokémon, with possible links to Overwatch’s Ana character. The idea is that the Pokémon’s beak could function like a sniper rifle.
- A tapir Pokémon, with connections to a Buddha statue from Thailand. The leak frames it as either an entirely new Pokémon or a regional variant of Drowzee, since it’s also a tapir.
- A rabbit Pokémon, potentially female, tied to the moon.
- A knobbed hornbill Pokémon, possibly male, tied to the sun. The species is described as being endemic to Indonesia, and it’s treated as part of Gen 10’s setting.
What We Know So Far
Beyond these puzzle-based hints, there’s still very little confirmed about Gen 10 in Pokémon Winds and Waves. The broader picture remains the same as before: official game details, the three starters, and the locations shown in the Pokémon Day 2026 teaser trailer are still the primary sources of verifiable information, while everything else—including the rumored roster expansions—has to be treated as unconfirmed until Nintendo or The Pokémon Company says otherwise.
