Pokemon Winds and Waves Leak: Eevee News, Regional Forms, Cross-Gen Evolutions

Big leaks have been shaping the conversation around Gen 10, and the latest Pokemon Winds and Waves report is already stirring up two very different reactions: disappointment for Eevee fans, and genuine excitement for trainers hoping to see older Pokémon return in fresh forms.

What the leak says about Gen 10 timing and release scope

According to the source text, Pokemon Winds and Waves has been hit by multiple leaks recently, with Gen 10 positioned as potentially the largest Pokémon games yet. While the series isn’t expected to add the biggest total number of new critters, the leak claims Gen 10 could still surpass prior entries in overall impact.

The same set of facts also points to a planned window later than many fans expected. Instead of a 30th anniversary-era release, the reveal trailer reportedly showed “2027,” and the leak further alleges a late 2027 launch—targeting September 2027—with additional content in December. The source cautions that this should be treated carefully, even while noting Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have historically favored holiday-season timing.

Eevee fans get “very bad news” — no new evolution claimed

The most emotionally charged part of the leak involves Eevee. Centro Leaks, described as a leak aggregator account, shared information from an active source (kurwashibamaste) claiming there will be no new Eevee evolution in Gen 10. The text stresses that this claim is not yet confirmed by other sources.

However, the leak’s plausibility is argued using a previous document mentioned in the source. That earlier material allegedly said The Pokemon Company considered avoiding new Eeveelutions due to the sheer volume of fan art they generate—because new designs can unintentionally resemble fan-made ideas, creating potential legal complications. Taken together, the source frames the “no new evolution” rumor as consistent with that internal consideration, though it remains unverified.

Regional forms and cross-gen evolutions: six older Pokémon targeted

Despite the Eevee setback, the leak includes a more upbeat list: regional forms and/or cross-generation evolutions for six older Pokémon. The reported lineup is:

Onix, Houndour, Clamperl, Nincada, Zweilous, and Salandit.

Salandit is specifically described as receiving a cross-gen evolution, with the evolution type allegedly becoming Poison/Dragon. The source also notes that this detail was previously mentioned in another Pokemon Winds and Waves leak that included Pokedex claims—suggesting a larger total roster and roughly 300 new species. Because the Salandit evolution was said to appear in both leak threads, the text argues that the overlap makes the rumor feel more credible, even while emphasizing nothing is confirmed.

Exploration and presentation ideas: Neon Abyss, overworld shinies, and legendaries

Beyond Pokémon lineups, the leak points to several gameplay and presentation changes. It mentions an underwater point of interest called Neon Abyss, described as conceptually similar to the Glimwood Tangle from Pokémon Sword and Shield, but focused on a coral reef.

The source further claims Gen 10 may include locations that can only be reached by flying. It also ties this possibility to an earlier leak about ride mechanics, including a Rotom scooter attached to Pokémon.

On the visibility side, the leak alleges shiny Pokémon will be detectable directly in the overworld and will make shiny sounds similar to those in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Finally, it claims both box Legendaries will appear in each game version, potentially altering how version-exclusive story access works compared to some prior expectations.

Separately, the source says an earlier box-legendary leak suggested the Legendaries could have forms available throughout the story and be obtained as early as the tutorial—making them comparable to Gen 9’s Koraidon and Miraidon in terms of early acquisition.

Key points

  • Leak claims Gen 10 won’t introduce a new Eevee evolution (unconfirmed by other sources).
  • Regional forms/cross-gen evolutions are rumored for Onix, Houndour, Clamperl, Nincada, Zweilous, and Salandit.
  • Salandit’s evolution is alleged to be Poison/Dragon, with matching details appearing in another leak thread.
  • Additional rumors include an underwater area (Neon Abyss), overworld-visible shinies with distinct sounds, and both box Legendaries appearing in each version.

Zweilous Cross-gen evolution
Salandit Cross-gen evolution (Poison/Dragon)

Expert View

If even part of this leak proves accurate, Gen 10’s design priorities look clear: instead of betting heavily on another Eeveelution, The Pokemon Company may be spreading evolution attention across older Pokémon—paired with presentation changes like overworld shinies and expanded exploration hooks (including underwater and flight-gated areas). For the competitive scene, the biggest signal is the potential for new Poison/Dragon evolution options and broader cross-gen utility, which typically reshapes early metagame planning and team-building once full move/ability details are known. Until confirmations arrive from official sources, treat the Eevee “no new evolution” claim as the most fragile—yet the overlapping Salandit details suggest at least some parts of this rumor may be converging toward something real.
