Scarlet & Violet is one of the easiest games to complete the Pokedex in a LONG time. That being said, there's still a handful of Pokemon in these games that proves challenging to obtain.
Here's 14 (Technically 27) of the hardest Pokemon to obtain in Scarlet & Violet.
1. Palafin
Dubbed as the hardest to Obtain Pokemon in Scarlet & Violet, you won't be getting your hands on a Palafin UNLESS you have friends. In order to obtain Palafin, you must have a Finizen, Palafin's Pre-evolution. Your next step is to invite your friends over to play in your save file using the Union Circle which requires the Nintendo Internet Pass. Step #3 is to level up your Finizen to Level 38 WHILE PLAYING WITH FRIENDS IN UNION CIRCLE and it'll evolve into Palafin. Yup, Pokemon added a new evolution method which requires you to play over the internet with friends. For me personally, I got lucky when it came to obtaining a Palafin through Terastal Raid Dens. The only other way to obtain Palafin is through 5-7 Star Raid Dens AFTER the main story of Scarlet & Violet and you're gonna NEED outside help for these raids as well. Pokemon CLEARLY didn't make obtaining Palafin easy for you.
2. Pawmot, Bramblegast & Rabsca
Pawmot, Bramblegast & Rellor all share the same evolution method: Walk 1000 steps in Let's Go Mode. This method of evolution is time consuming especially if you don't know cheats/hacks to beat the system. In my case, I used one of the hacks where you let a pokemon out in Let's Go mode, then stood on top of a Pokemon Center where the Pokemon in question will then run around aimlessly on its own searching for the player. An issue many players faced with this method, including myself, is that Pawmo, Bramblin & Rellor won't evolve the second they reach 1000 steps. This resulted in myself walking around with the Pokemon in question ALOT longer than necessary. Instead, as soon as you think the target Pokemon has reached the required amount of steps, level them up and their evolution should trigger.
3. Iron Valiant & Roaring Moon
