'''Version-exclusive Pokémon''', also known as '''game-exclusive Pokémon''', are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild. | '''Version-exclusive Pokémon''', also known as '''game-exclusive Pokémon''', are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players.

Revision as of 14:03, 27 October 2024
Version-exclusive Pokémon, also known as game-exclusive Pokémon, are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage trading between players. For example, between Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Mawile appears only in Ruby, while Sableye appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.
It is typical for several evolutionary lines of Pokémon that are version-exclusive between the original versions of a set to be obtainable in the upper versions, while some lines that are obtainable in each of the original versions will be unobtainable in the upper versions. For example, the Weedle, Koffing, and Jynx lines were obtainable in both Pokémon Red and Blue, but unobtainable in Pokémon Yellow.
In the core series games
Below is a list of Pokémon exclusive to games. The games are separated by generation as well as by regional Pokédex, meaning that for example, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are grouped together separately from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and from Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. Any Pokémon that appears in only some of the games in a group will be listed.
Generation I
Listed below under the "Blue" header is the Pokémon distribution in the Japanese Pokémon Blue. This is not the same as the Western Pokémon Blue; the Pokémon distribution in the Western Pokémon Blue is the same as that of the Japanese Pokémon Green.

- Wild Mightyena are exclusive to Pokémon Emerald, but Poochyena can be encountered in the wild in all three versions, and can evolve into Mightyena.
- Wild Banette are exclusive to Pokémon Sapphire and Emerald, while wild Dusclops are exclusive to Pokémon Ruby, but both Shuppet and Duskull can be encountered in the wild all three versions, and can evolve into Banette and Dusclops respectively.
- If the player obtains an event item, the Eon Ticket, they can encounter whichever of Latios and Latias they could not encounter in their game.
- In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Deoxys is always in its Normal Forme; in Pokémon Emerald, Deoxys is always in its Speed Forme. However, Deoxys cannot be obtained in any of these games during normal gameplay.

0234 | Stantler | R | S | E | |
0235 | Smeargle | R | S | E | |
0241 | Miltank | R | S | E | |

- Most of these Pokémon are found in the upgraded Safari Zone in Pokémon Emerald; Meowth, Ditto, Sudowoodo and Smeargle are found in other locations exclusive to Pokémon Emerald.
- While the Johto first partner Pokémon are obtainable exclusively (out of all Generation III core series titles) in Emerald, it requires the completion of the Hoenn Pokédex, which is not possible without trading with other games.
FireRed and LeafGreen
- Wild Weezing and Seadra are exclusive to Pokémon FireRed, while wild Muk and Kingler are exclusive to Pokémon LeafGreen. However, wild Grimer, Krabby, Koffing and Horsea can be encountered and evolved in both games.
- In Pokémon FireRed, Deoxys is always in its Attack Forme; in Pokémon LeafGreen, Deoxys is always in its Defense Forme. However, Deoxys cannot be obtained in either game during normal gameplay.
Generation IV
Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum
- Cranidos and Shieldon cannot be encountered in the wild; instead, they must be revived from a fossil. The fossils themselves are version-exclusive, but they can be traded between games as held items, technically allowing each fossil Pokémon to be obtained in any game.
- Additionally, in Platinum only one of these fossils can be obtained depending on the Trainer ID number. An odd ID number will give fossils to revive Cranidos, while an even ID number will give fossils to revive Shieldon.
- Although wild Elekid and Magby appear in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl in Dual-slot mode with FireRed and LeafGreen respectively, they appear in Pokémon Platinum without a second cartridge.
- Wild Mr. Mime are exclusive to Pokémon Diamond and Platinum, while wild Sudowoodo are exclusive to Pokémon Pearl and Platinum, but both Mime Jr. and Bonsly can be encountered in the wild in both Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and can evolve into Mr. Mime and Sudowoodo respectively.
- Wild Seel and Spheal are exclusive to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl respectively, but they can be obtained in Pokémon Platinum by breeding Dewgong and Sealeo respectively.
- Wild Silcoon and Beautifly are exclusive to Pokémon Diamond and Platinum, while wild Cascoon and Dustox are exclusive to Pokémon Pearl and Platinum, but Wurmple can be encountered in the wild in both Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and can evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon, which can then evolve into Beautifly or Dustox respectively.
- The legendary giants, Rotom's appliance forms, and Sky Forme Shaymin are exclusive to Pokémon Platinum, but each requires an event item or Pokémon to be encountered.

- Wild Cottonee and Whimsicott are exclusive to Pokémon Black, while wild Petilil and Lilligant are exclusive to Pokémon White. However, there is an in-game trade in Nacrene City where the player can trade whichever of Cottonee or Petilil they can encounter in the wild for the other, which can then be evolved into Whimsicott or Lilligant respectively.
- Wild Volbeat are exclusive to Pokémon Black, while wild Illumise are exclusive to Pokémon White. However, Illumise can breed with Ditto or any male Pokémon in the Bug Egg Group or Human-Like Egg Group to produce Eggs that have a 50% chance of hatching into Volbeat, while Volbeat can breed with Ditto to produce Eggs that have a 50% chance of hatching into Illumise.

- These Pokémon's fully evolved forms can be battled in Trainer battles in Black City, which is exclusive to Pokémon Black, but as these are Trainer battles the Pokémon cannot be caught. Furthermore, each game needs to connect with other players in order to increase the number of Pokémon they have. Only the unevolved forms appear in White Forest.
- Pidgey, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Abra, Machop, Magnemite, Gastly, Rhyhorn, Mareep, Elekid, Magby, Lotad, Surskit, Marill, Ralts, Trapinch, Corphish, Bagon, Starly, and Shinx were also obtainable from the Pokémon Dream World.

- Wild Stunky and Glameow can only be found randomly in Hidden Grottos, and only while playing specific, version-exclusive Funfest Missions. However, if one player starts such a mission, other nearby players regardless of version will be able to join the mission, whereupon they may find the Pokémon and catch it in their own game.

A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in the specified game while a white background means that it cannot. |
- For the version-exclusive Pokémon in these games that have Mega Evolutions (Pinsir, Heracross, Houndoom, Manectric, Tyranitar, and Aggron), each game can obtain the Mega Stones for the Pokémon that appear in the opposite game, but not the ones for Pokémon exclusive to that game.
- Omanyte, Kabuto, Lileep, and Anorith, cannot be encountered in the wild; instead, they must be revived from a fossil. The fossils themselves are version-exclusive, but they can be traded between games as held items, technically allowing each fossil Pokémon to be obtained in either game.
- While single encounters for wild PlusleX and MinunY on Route 5 are version-exclusive, they can still be found in a Horde Encounter in both games.
- While single encounters for wild ZangooseX and SeviperY on Route 8 are version-exclusive, they can still be found in a Horde Encounter in both games.
- Wild Huntail are exclusive to Pokémon X, while wild Gorebyss are exclusive to Pokémon Y, but Clamperl can be encountered in the wild in both games and can evolve into either Huntail or Gorebyss.
- Some otherwise-exclusive Pokémon on this list - CloysterY, PinsirX, HeracrossY, PupitarY, MightyenaX, ManectricY, LiepardY, ThrohY, SawkX, SpritzeeY, and SwirlixX - can be found in either game in the Friend Safari with certain 3DS friend codes registered. Interestingly, this list includes more of Pokémon Y's exclusives than X's.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
- Omanyte, Kabuto, Cranidos, Shieldon, Archen, and Tirtouga cannot be encountered in the wild; instead, they must be revived from a fossil. The fossils themselves are version-exclusive, but they can be traded between games as held items, technically allowing each fossil Pokémon to be obtained in either game.
- While single encounters for wild MinunOR and PlusleAS on Route 110 are version-exclusive, they can still be found in a Horde Encounter in both games. Consequently, they can also be encountered as single encounters by forcing them to appear as hidden Pokémon using the DexNav's search function.
- If the player obtains an event item, the Eon Ticket, they can encounter whichever of Latios and Latias they could not encounter in their game.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
As trading is not possible between these games, the listed Pokémon will appear in the wild only after a rescue mission involving the Pokémon is completed. This requires a Wonder Mail Code from the alternate version, in which the Pokémon is normally found.
Because Red Rescue Team was not released in South Korea, the Korean version of Blue Rescue Team has every Pokémon available by default.

In animation
The fourteenth movie released in two different versions: White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram. Much like the games, there are Pokémon that are exclusive to each movie.
Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram
- Ash's Tranquill appears in both White and Black; however, in White, wild Tranquill also appear in the intro.

- Golurk appears in both White and Black, under the ownership of Juanita. However, it is Shiny in Black.
- Hydreigon appears in both White and Black, under the ownership of Carlita. However, it is Shiny in White.
Trivia
- Due to the large number of wild Pokémon that can only be caught in White Forest, which is an area that is exclusive to Pokémon White, Pokémon White has the largest number of version-exclusive Pokémon in the core series to date.
- In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, most version-exclusive Pokémon in the Generation III core series games can be caught using the dongle method with that game in the GBA slot.
- All evolutionary lines that can only be encountered via the dongle method in Diamond and Pearl other than Pineco and Shuckle are version-exclusive Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Conversely, all cases of non-Legendary version-exclusive Pokémon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that are not in Diamond and Pearl are from lines that can only be encountered via the dongle method in the latter.
- All seven Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex that are missing in Pokémon Emerald are obtainable in Pokémon XD, allowing it to be completed in Emerald by trading with only one other game instead of with both Ruby and Sapphire.
