List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex

There remain some Pokémon that have been included in every regional Pokédex since their release, such as Marill, but these Pokémon cannot be included in the main list. These Pokémon are listed below the main table.

Trivia

• Magnemite, Magneton, Rhyhorn, and Rhydon were not included in the original Sinnoh Dex as it appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl; however, they all are included (along with their Generation IV evolutions) in the extended version of the Sinnoh Dex in Pokémon Platinum.
• Three of these evolution lines reach their final form via trade (the Alakazam, Golem and Machamp families). The Gengar family is the only evolutionary family to evolve by trade in Generation I to not appear in every regional Dex (they are not in the Hoenn Dex)
• The Pikachu, Zubat, Rhyhorn and Magnemite families have all been expanded in later generations to include a third form.
  • Two of these forms, Pichu and Crobat, have appeared in every regional Pokédex since their debut (as Generation V's regional Pokédex has not been revealed, it is unknown if Magnezone will yet join them). Marill, who has appeared in every regional dex since debut, has also received a new, pre-evolution, Azurill, in Generation III which has appeared in both regional dexes since.
• All but two of these Pokémon (Girafarig and Heracross from Generation II onward), are from multi-stage evolutionary families.
• The five initial main characters of the anime own, or have owned, Pokémon from these families at some point. Ash still has his Pikachu, who was his first Pokémon and remains a mascot for the franchise, Misty has a Goldeen, a Psyduck and a Gyarados, and Brock had a Geodude and a Zubat. Also, both Jessie and James have at some point owned a Magikarp, as a result of an encounter with the Magikarp salesman.
