This is a list of side story episodes of the anime, which occasionally air instead of a rerun from the main anime series during an episode of the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station or Pokémon Sunday in Japan. When dubbed, the first 18 of these side story episodes became part of Pokémon Chronicles, alongside the The Legend of Thunder! special and several Pikachu shorts, while the sporadically-made later side story episodes typically air as special episodes.

Unlike the main anime, Ash Ketchum is not featured in a central role; many of the episodes feature his friends in an expanded role, however. It should be noted that the Team Rocket members featured are usually Butch and Cassidy, not the usual members Ash faces.
