Over the course of the [[Pokémon]] series, a number of creatures with traits of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals, see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

==List of disputed Pokémon==
===In the games===
{{TrainerPoké

|type1=Unknown
|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]]}}

|desc=[[File:SubstituteStadium.png|right|90px]]While the {{m|Substitute}} doll originally looked similar to {{p|Rhydon}}, the design evolved over time to a more neutral design. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', its trophy description points out that, while it looks and gets attacked like a Pokémon, it is not actually one. The doll has gone on to receive several pieces of merchandise, including its own plush doll and clothes.}}

|img=080Slowbro.png
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|desc={{main|Shellder (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowbro (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowking (Pokémon)}} 
According to the Pokédex and in the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro or Slowking via Shellder. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body, essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.

|desc=[[File:115Kangaskhan.png|right|130px]][[File:115Kangaskhan-Mega.png|right|130px]]{{main|Kangaskhan (Pokémon)}} 
Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother's body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby leaves its pouch and is capable of fighting alongside its mother, thanks to Mega Kangaskhan's {{a|Parental Bond}} [[Ability]].}}

|desc=[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|right|130px]]{{main|Raikou (Pokémon)}} {{main|Entei (Pokémon)}} {{main|Suicune (Pokémon)}} {{main|Legendary beasts}} 
It is said that the Legendary beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were reincarnated after they died in the fire that burned down the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] by {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower, the fire that burned the tower down, and the rain that put it out. While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' showed that they were three, nameless Pokémon.}}

|desc=[[File:629Vullaby.png|right|120px]][[File:630Mandibuzz.png|right|130px]]{{main|Vullaby (Pokémon)}} {{main|Mandibuzz (Pokémon)}} 
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

|desc={{main|Reshiram (Pokémon)}} {{main|Zekrom (Pokémon)}} {{main|Kyurem (Pokémon)}} {{main|Tao trio}} 
According to one legend, Reshiram and Zekrom were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. A different narrative is told by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}: when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, Kyurem, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively, using [[DNA Splicers]].}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Original Genesect
|type1=Bug
|img=Genesect fossil.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|epname=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|desc=[[File:649Genesect.png|right|130px]]{{main|Genesect (Pokémon)}} 
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

No additional information on the silhouette was contained in the source code of the tutorial's Flash file.

Void Shadows inhabit the [[Voidlands]] and will consume any Pokémon they encounter and are capable of shapeshifting into any Pokémon. Being minions of [[Dark Matter]], the Void Shadows do not seem to have an individual personality. However, they seem to be akin to {{p|Ditto}} in that they can act as if they were another Pokémon; for example, one of them disguises itself as {{p|Bunnelby}}. While they do not seem to be much in the way of speech, they are very aggressive to the player and their partner; going as far as to take on the form of a {{me|Tyranitar}} and a pair of {{me|Gengar}} as a means to stop them from returning to their world—they are even willing to kill them to stop them. Unlike other Pokémon, their character portrait is obscured by static, much like that of Dark Matter.}}

It can be fought after clearing [[Tree of Life: Trunk]]. Although Dark Matter is not considered to be a real Pokémon, it can use moves against Pokémon and can give itself a random type.}}

|desc=The only known information about this creature is from its brief appearance in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. It seems to be a bear with decorative markings covering its body. Since markings like this are also present on the other Pokémopolis Pokémon featured in the episode like {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Alakazam}}, it is unlikely to have been a normal feature.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Unnamed arachnid
|type1=Bug
|img=Unknown Arachnid.png
|epnum=EP138
|epname=The Superhero Secret
|desc=This creature made its sole appearance in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compound eyes, two antennae on its head, and a mouth with four large fangs. Its thorax has eight long, brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it.

According to the Pokédex and in the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro or Slowking via Shellder. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body, essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.

According to one legend, Reshiram and Zekrom were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. A different narrative is told by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}: when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, Kyurem, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively, using [[DNA Splicers]].}}
