Will there be post-launch legendary Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet?

Beyond these six starting legendary Pokémon, we do not know any more that will make their way into Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. However, when Pokémon Home support becomes available, that will not be the case. For example, if you catch Zacian or Zamazenta from Pokémon Sword and Shield and add them to Pokémon Home, they can join you in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. More legendary Pokémon exclusive could appear in Scarlet and Violet through future expansions.
