Underleveled Pokémon

Underleveled Pokémon are Pokémon that are at a lower level than is usually available via evolution.

Overview

Underleveled Pokémon first appeared as early as Pokémon Red and Green, with level 4-6 Kakuna and Metapod available in Viridian Forest; Kakuna and Metapod cannot be obtained by evolution until level 7. Additionally, some non-player character Trainers use underleveled Pokémon in battle.

From Generations I to IV, Pokémon obtained in in-game trades are always the same level as the one being traded away, so many underleveled Pokémon can be obtained through in-game trades. For example, in Red and Blue and FireRed and LeafGreen, it is possible to obtain an Electrode as low as level 3, even though the species evolves from Voltorb only at level 30 or above. This Electrode can be obtained by catching a Pikachu in Viridian Forest at level 3, evolving it with the Thunderstone, and trading it on Cinnabar Island.

In the Generation V games Pokémon Black and White, the introduction of Easy Mode lowers the strengths and levels of Trainer Pokémon by a few levels. As a result, the decrease in level would lead to many Trainers having underleveled Pokémon, due to some of their Pokémon who evolve by level up being at the minimum level of evolution in normal mode.

In Generation VI, the introduction of the Friend Safari had also presented the opportunity to encounter many underleveled Pokémon, as all wild Pokémon that appear there will be level 30.

In Generation VII, the concept of SOS Battles makes it possible for an evolved form of a Pokémon to appear alongside the pre-evolution of the Pokémon. This new type of battling, along with all Pokémon that can appear within an area all sharing the same level range, means that SOS battling can bring forth many underleveled Pokémon. Totem Pokémon are also underleveled in the early to mid stages of the game due to the Totem commonly being an evolved Pokémon.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon found in the Hideaways of the Grand Underground have their levels based on the amount of Badges the player has acquired. As having only 1 places the range at levels 16-20, and 2 leaving the range at 25-29, it is possible to find underleveled Houndoom, Gastrodon, Skuntank (only in Brilliant Diamond) and Purugly (only in Shining Pearl).

Some NPC Trainers use underleveled Pokémon in battle. For example, Lance has three underleveled Dragonite in Generations II and IV, with one being at level 50 and two at level 49 in HeartGold and SoulSilver (Dragonite does not evolve naturally from Dragonair until level 55). Many other in-game Trainers, such as Mars and Jupiter, also possess underleveled Pokémon.

An application of the Pomeg glitch in Emerald makes it possible to evolve a Pokémon while it is still inside an Egg, allowing any such evolved forms to be obtained at level 5. In Generation IV, this particular exploit of the Pomeg glitch was fixed; the Pomeg glitch was removed entirely in Generation V.
