Centro Leaks Claims Pokemon Winds & Waves Could Add 300+ New Creatures
Fresh rumors about Pokemon Winds and Waves have been making the rounds over the past few days, and while they’re undeniably bold, one well-known leaker has pushed the claims further. Centro Leaks says it’s “Very Likely” that the upcoming entries will bring in more than 300 brand-new creatures and new forms.
Even if you keep your skepticism hat on, the leaker community’s confidence here is unusually high, with multiple reports pointing toward the 300+ number. As more chatter filters in, early hints about several of the additions have also surfaced, giving fans their first glimpse at what could be coming.
Arcanine, Psyduck, and Onix are among the rumored new-form targets
There’s a reason this rumor is getting treated carefully. Since the franchise’s early days, 1,025 distinct Pokemon have already been introduced. When regional variations and other alternate form concepts are accounted for, that figure is often described as rising to somewhere between 1,247 and 1,464, depending on how you count each form. Adding another 300-plus entries on top of that would represent more than a fifth growth in the overall collection over the franchise’s roughly 30-year lifespan.
Alongside the headline number, reports have also circulated about specific existing Pokemon that may either appear in Winds and Waves or receive brand-new forms. The list below is what’s currently being discussed:
- Onix: expected to receive a brand-new Regional Evolution.
- Houndour: expected to receive a brand-new Regional Evolution.
- Zweilous: expected to receive a brand-new Regional Evolution.
- Salandit: expected to receive a brand-new Regional Evolution (rumored to become Poison/Dragon-type).
- Nincada line: may receive a brand-new Regional Evolution.
- Clamperl line: may receive a brand-new Regional Evolution.
- Psyduck line: may gain an Ice/Psychic Regional Version.
- Kecleon: may receive a distinctive weather-themed redesign.
- Lucario: may receive a distinctive weather-themed redesign.
- Arcanine: may receive a distinctive weather-themed redesign.
- Pikachu: may receive a distinctive weather-themed redesign.
- Seven currently unannounced Pokemon: reportedly may receive a distinctive weather-themed redesign.
- The game’s three Legendary Pokemon: reportedly may receive a distinctive weather-themed redesign.
Beyond form rumors for familiar faces, there are also reports hinting at multiple completely new Pokemon. Those currently being floated include:
- [NEW] A Komodo Dragon line, likely Dragon-type.
- [NEW] A “Moon Rabbit,” likely either Normal/Fairy or Ice/Fairy.
- [NEW] A “Kickboxing Tree Kangaroo,” likely Grass/Fighting-type.
- [NEW] A “Pirate Bird” with a pirate-and-seafaring theme.
- [NEW] A Sun Hornbill.
- [NEW] A Malaysian Sun Bear Pokemon, likely to have Dark or Fire as a secondary typing.
- [NEW] A Tropical Orchid Mantis, with different variants tied to the island’s jungle flower canopy.
One more highly circulated claim involves starter Pokemon: Pombon is said to be positioned as the franchise’s first-ever Fire/Fairy-type Pokemon. For Eevee fans, the situation looks less promising—current Pokedex placeholder information is being interpreted as showing no new entries, suggesting there may not be another Eeveelution this generation. Tropius is another Pokemon fans hoped might get a new form, but early data interpretations are currently indicating that won’t be happening.
What these rumors mean for players
If the 300+ figure holds up, it would be one of the biggest expansion waves the series has ever seen, with regional evolutions and weather-based redesigns potentially reshaping how teams are built. Between the specific targets listed—such as Onix, Houndour, Zweilous, Psyduck, and Arcanine—and the idea that multiple Legendaries and several new, unnamed Pokemon could also be reworked around weather themes, players may need to rethink not only which Pokemon are worth catching, but also how type coverage could shift.
What to watch next
Right now, the most important thing is verification: whether the placeholder data interpretations hold, and whether more concrete reveals emerge to confirm the rumored types and the weather-centric redesign direction. Until Nintendo/Game Freak share official details, fans will likely continue tracking any additional leaks, especially those tied to Pombon’s alleged Fire/Fairy typing and the apparent absence of new Eevee-related entries.
