List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex

This is a list of Pokémon that appear every regional Pokédex, listed in their National Pokédex order. All of the Pokémon that fit this description can only be from Generation I, due to the need to be in the Kanto Pokédex. This worldwide distribution is analogous to cosmopolitan distribution, the notion of a species that can be found anywhere on the planet.

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.

This list only applies through Generation IV, due to the Generation V's regional Pokédex, the Unova Dex, only including Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Trivia

• 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 Pokédex (they are not in the Hoenn Pokédex)
• The Pikachu, Zubat, Rhyhorn and Magnemite families have all been expanded in later generations to include a third form.
• All but four of these Pokémon (Girafarig and Heracross from Generation II onward, Tropius and Absol from Generation III 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, and a Heracross and a Snorunt which evolved into a Glalie, Misty has a Goldeen, a Psyduck and a Gyarados, and Brock has a Geodude and a Crobat. Also, both Jessie and James have at some point owned a Magikarp, as a result of an encounter with the Magikarp salesman. On her own, Jessie also owns a Yanmega.
