Post-release
Pokémon
Eternal Flower Floette remains in the code of the Generation VII games. It has its own Pokédex entry in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Additionally, there are menu sprites for Cosplay Pikachu, Spiky-eared Pichu, and Eternal Flower Floette, though none of them are available in-game. Pichu, in particular, is notable because up to this point, even in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, she shared a menu sprite with typical Pichu.
For consistency, all Pokémon have Shiny sprites even if they cannot be obtained as Shiny. Pikachu in a cap, Zygarde (all forms), the guardian deities (except Tapu Koko exclusively from an event distribution), Cosmog's evolutionary line and Necrozma cannot be legitimately obtained as Shiny. In Pokémon Sun and Moon only, the Ultra Beasts cannot be obtained shiny.

Hidden Abilities
Some Pokémon are programmed to have Hidden Abilities in Generation VII, but cannot legally obtain them. These Abilities may be distributed in a later generation or event and are currently not obtainable.

Inverse Battles are in the coding of Generation VII although no NPC's can trigger them.
