Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf have been available in the wild, in their respective regions, as a very rare spawn since April 30, 2019.

Special availability

Some species, outside of special events, neither appear in the wild nor evolve from Pokémon that do. Instead, these Pokémon can only be encountered through other methods. In addition to the following list, all baby Pokémon have always been exclusively obtained from hatching Eggs. Alolan Sandshrew, Vulpix, Meowth, and Grimer; Galarian Meowth, Ponyta, Zigzagoon, and Darumaka; and Hisuian Growlithe and Sneasel can normally only be obtained from hatching Eggs, but some have had expanded availability during special events.

Event-induced availability

The player may choose from the three Kanto first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game: Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle. If the player walks away from the first partner Pokémon four times, Pikachu will also appear as a possible first partner Pokémon. These Pokémon may also be found in the wild later on.

It is normally random whether Eevee will evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon. However, if Eevee walks at least 10 km as the Buddy Pokémon and is then evolved while it is still the Buddy Pokémon, it will evolve into Espeon during the day or Umbreon during the night. Additionally, the Mossy Lure Module and Glacial Lure Module can be used to cause Eevee to evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon, respectively. Finally, gaining seventy hearts as the Buddy Pokémon causes its Evolution into Sylveon. It is also possible to force Eevee's Evolution into a specific Pokémon if it is given a certain nickname:[8] "Sparky" for Jolteon, "Rainer" for Vaporeon, "Pyro" for Flareon (the names of the Eevee brothers in the Pokémon anime), "Sakura" for Espeon, "Tamao" for Umbreon (two of the Kimono Girls in the anime), "Linnea" for Leafeon, "Rea" for Glaceon, and "Kira" for Sylveon (three of the Eevee users). These nicknames override all other factors in determining Evolution; however, each nickname can only influence Evolution once per player.

Certain real-world events will occasionally cause Pokémon to appear in the wild that are usually locked to a specific method, such as having region- or Raid-exclusive Pokémon appearing regularly in the wild.

During certain conventions or other events, specific letters of Unown may be made available at a greatly increased rate in the vicinity of the event. The letters made available spell out something related to the event, such as C, H, I, A, G, and O for Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago.

During some special events, featured Pokémon may be caught wearing a commemorative costume. For example, Pikachu and Pichu may be caught or hatched wearing a special hat, and Raichu will retain the hat upon Evolution. During the Squirtle Community Day on July 8, 2018, Sunglasses Squirtle based on the Squirtle Squad from the anime was made available through Field Research; Wartortle and Blastoise will both retain the glasses on Evolution. During the Valentine's Day 2019 event, a Spinda based on the heart-spotted one from Going for a Spinda could be obtained from Field Research. For Pokémon Day 2019, an Eevee with a hat was added, similarly to Pikachu; it retains the hat upon Evolution.

Since September 2018, certain Pokémon have been made available in 7 km Eggs as part of an event, including regional- and Raid-exclusive Pokémon such as Tauros and Absol, respectively.
