50 ~ 70 Hours To Complete Your Pokedex

Rotom Phone Pokedex Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV)
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, completing the Pokedex and catching all 400 Pokemon may take you 50 to 70 hours.

This includes trading to get version exclusives and Starter Pokemon, as well as getting eggs through the picnic feature for certain pre-evolutions. There are also some Pokemon with more difficult evolution requirements which can be quite tedious. As the games are open world however, with all of the Pokemon appearing in the overworld, its never been easier to catch them all!

100+ Hours To 100% The Game

Paldea Region Juliana and Florian Ride Pokemon and Starter Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV)
Even after becoming Champion Rank, finishing all 3 of the Main Stories, and saving the Paldea Region of what lurks in the mysterious Area Zero, your journey in the Paldea Region does not end there. If you are a completionist and want to 100% the game, it might take you more than 100 hours to do so.

Participating in the Academy Ace Tournament for amazing rewards, completing your Pokedex, making every possible sandwich, looking for the highly sought-after Shiny Pokemon, fighting every trainer in the game, and getting all available items. These are just a few things you can do to extend your playthrough.

There is no one rule that fits all when it comes to what constitutes 100% completion. You can decide for yourself what a 100% run is.
