Version-exclusive Pokémon are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage trading between players. For example, in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Seedot appeared only in Ruby, while Lotad appeared only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Ruby would not be able to obtain Lotad without trading with a player of Sapphire, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

It is typical for several evolutionary families of Pokémon to be version exclusives in the first two games of a set, and then in the third game, some (but not all) version-exclusives from the first two games will be obtainable while some Pokémon that could originally be in both of the first two games will be unobtainable in the third game. For example, the Weedle and Koffing families were obtainable in both Pokémon Red and Blue, but unobtainable in Pokémon Yellow.

Below is a list of Pokémon exclusive to games. The games are separated into sets, meaning that for example, Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum will be grouped together, and any Pokémon will be listed that appears in only one or two of those three games. Not all games in a given generation will be in the same set, as this would tend to cause extremely long lists between games in different regions with different regional Pokédexes.

Notably, in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, most of the version exclusives of the Generation III games can be caught in the wild by inserting its respective GBA cartridge into the DS. In Pokémon XD, the seven Pokémon that appear in Ruby or Sapphire but not in Emerald are all obtainable; thus a player of Emerald can complete the Hoenn Pokédex by trading with just one other game instead of two.

In the main series games

Generation I

The Japanese Blue Version does not have the same Pokémon distribution as the English Blue Version. The English Blue's Pokémon distribution is in fact the same as that of the Japanese Green. Listed below under the "Blue" header is the Japanese Blue.

A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in the specified game while a white background means that it cannot.


  • Similarly to Black and White, while Cottonee and Petilil are unavailable in wild in White 2 and Black 2, respectively, an in-game trade on Route 4 allows to obtain the one that is exclusive to the other version. It also allows to obtain Whimsicott and Lilligant in version where they're otherwise unavailable.
  • Akin to previous games, VolbeatB2 or IllumiseW2 swarms on Route 3. Illumise can breed with any male Pokémon in the Bug Egg Group, Human-Like Egg Group or Ditto to produce Eggs that have an 50% chance of hatching into Volbeat. Likewise, breeding Volbeat with Ditto may produce Illumise Eggs.
  • While Route 12 and Lostlorn Forest have wild Pinsir in White 2 and wild Heracross in Black 2 (without the other one), in the forest's Hidden Grotto (which isn't marked by Pokédex), both can appear, no matter the version.
  • As in previous games, wild Huntail are exclusive to Black 2, while wild Gorebyss are exclusive to White 2, but Clamperl can be found and evolved in both games.
  • When Genesect is holding a Drive, the light on its cannon changes color. The Burn and Shock Drives are exclusive to Black 2, while the Douse and Chill Drives are exclusive to White 2, similar to the original games.
  • White 2's counterpart to the Shiny Gible given away by Benga is a Shiny Dratini; however, Dratini's evolutionary line can be caught in the wild in both versions, whereas the Gible line cannot.
  • Normally unavailable, Regice and Registeel can be caught in the Black 2 and White 2, respectively, after trading respective keys from game which has unlocked them. Initially, Regice's key is unlocked in White 2, and Registeel's in Black 2.

As trading is not possible between these games, the listed Pokémon will appear in the wild only when 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.

In the anime

For the first time in the anime's history, two different versions of a movie were released. Victini and Zekrom features the Victory Pokémon Victini and the Deep Black Pokémon Zekrom, while Victini and Reshiram features Victini and the Vast White Pokémon, Reshiram. Much like the games, there are Pokémon that are exclusive to each movie.
