Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed.

A silhouette possibly of a Pokémon was discovered while rummaging through coding of the recently launched Trading Card Game Online. This silhouette was discovered in the navigation bar on the game's tutorial page, combined with images of the Unova starter Pokémon. No additional information on the silhouette was contained in the source code of the tutorial's Flash file. According to Serena Robar, a community manager for The Pokémon Company International, it is not a new Pokémon, but is actually just a placeholder image that wasn’t removed after the code was decompiled. | ||
Debut | Pokémon Trading Card Game Online |
---|
In the anime
In The Ghost of Maiden's Peak, a Gastly, who had the ability to create illusions that were solid enough to attack people, created a crossbreed of a Blastoise and a Venusaur, calling it a "Venustoise". | ||
Debut | The Ghost of Maiden's Peak |
---|
The only known information about this creature is from its brief appearance in EP072. It seems to be a bear, and thus bears similarity to Honōguma, Teddiursa, Ursaring and Cubchoo. It has decorative markings covering its body; due to the fact that markings like this are also present on the other Pokémopolis Pokémon feautured in the episode, such as Gengar and Psyduck, it is unlikely to have been a normal feature. It is unknown whether it was intended to be in the games, however with its rounded ears, brown colour and cub-like appearance it seems to be very similar to Teddiursa. | ||
Debut | The Puzzle of Pokémopolis |
---|
This creature made its sole appearance in EP138. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compoundeyes, and a mouth with four large fangs. It has a thorax with eight long brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin black stripes. Its cry has the sound of a scream, not unlike Victreebel's. The nature of it 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 its cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its appearance rather early into 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 Pokémon. | ||
Debut | The Superhero Secret |
---|
The only representation, albeit in statue form, of the aquatic life that Kabutops is said to have feasted on in most Pokédex entries since Red and Blue.
It bears some similarity to the silhouette on the Neo Genesis card Super Rod. | ||
Debut | Fossil Fools |
---|
Debut | Spell of the Unown |
---|
An unnamed fairy was seen in Molly Hale's Book of Legendary Pokémon in Spell of the Unown. It has some similarity to Beautifly. | ||
Debut | Spell of the Unown |
---|
An unnamed sun was seen in Molly Hale's Book of Legendary Pokémon in Spell of the Unown. It has a slight resemblance to Solrock. | ||
Debut | Spell of the Unown |
---|
This clay artifact that looks like a Pokémon appeared in Fossil Fools and then again over 9 and a half years later in Bucking the Treasure Trend!. Professor Oak descibes it as an "ancient Pokémon fossil [or] artifact". It bears similarity to the Clay Doll Pokémon Baltoy and Claydol. Due to this, it may have been based on shakōkidogū - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the Jōmon period of Japanese history. | ||
Debut | Fossil Fools |
---|
An evil monster that attacked the city of Alto Mare was seen in the Japanese version of Pokémon Heroes. The storybook style segment of the movie, which told the story of the origin of the Soul Dew and Alto Mare's ancient history, was completely cut from the dub. | ||
Debut | Pokémon Heroes |
---|
Mismagius/Rayquaza | ||
In Malice In Wonderland!, a wild Mismagius created an illusory Rayquaza belonging to the fake Cynthia. When Ash and his friends discovered that it was all just an illusion, it combined itself with its Rayquaza illusion. | ||
Debut | Malice In Wonderland! |
---|
In the manga
Isamu Akai's unnamed Pokémon | ||
This unknown Bug-type Pokémon was captured by Isamu Akai in The Big Battle In The Viridian Forest!!. It was his second Pokémon, after Clefairy. Other than the fact that it is a Bug-type, the only other thing known about this Pokémon is that it's supposedly very weak. It escaped from its Poké Ball in the same chapter. | ||
