The massive Pokémon Scarlet and Violet leak confirmed that these are both Ancient Forms exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet. While they haven't been officially announced, the July leak included compressed screenshots of a Jigglypuff with fangs, and an Amoonguss with moss growing over its head. In comparison, Paradox Donphan's Future Form "Iron Treads" is completely made of metal and has digital eyes. In the trailer, players got a brief look at Donphan's Ancient Form Grand Tusk, which has gigantic Mastodon horns and red jagged rocks sticking out of its body.
