Pokemon Scarlet & Violet fans would be elated to know that the game will be bringing back one of the most awaited features in the franchise.

Gym battles have been a trademark aspect of Pokemon games for a long time now. However, with the release of Pokemon Legends Arceus, that changed as the concept of gym battles was totally missing in the game. Instead what we had was more of a single Pokemon boss battle in the Pokemon, which involved helping Pokemon get rid of their frenzy.

The source of the leak is once again Riddler Khu, who has been super reliable with Pokemon leaks in the past. In one of their titular riddles, the user posts a screenshot of the upcoming riddles they have in store for fans. Fans were quick to spot that one of the pictures was named "GL-teaser 1."

Now in all probability, the GL in that name possibly suggests hints at the fact that gym leaders could be returning in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The good thing is that the entire riddle is yet to be revealed, so players will definitely be getting some more exciting information about the feature in the coming days. Moreover, considering the fact that it is teasing something around gym leaders, it is a good chance that we might see something special, as a regular gym leader isn't something to drop leaks about.
