Version-exclusive Pokémon

The subject of this article has no official name. The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information.

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 appears only in Ruby, while Lotad appears 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 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 Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. Any Pokémon that appears in only some of the games in a group will be listed.

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 its regional Pokédex by trading with just one other game instead of two, which is not the case for any other "third version" game.

In the core series games

Generation I

Listed below under the "Blue" header is the Pokémon distribution in the Japanese Blue Version. This is not the same as the English Blue Version; the English Blue's distribution is the same as that of the Japanese Green.

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

• These Pokémon's fully evolved forms can be encountered and battled in Black City, which is exclusive to Pokémon Black, but are uncatchable there. Also, each game has a limited number of Pokémon species and need to connect to other players in order to increase that number. Only the first forms are obtainable in White Forest, and only at level five.
• Pidgey, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Abra, Machop, Magnemite, Gastly, Rhyhorn, Mareep, Elekid, Magby, Lotad, Surskit, Marill, Ralts, Trapinch, Corphish, Bagon, Starly, and Shinx are also obtainable from the Pokémon Dream World, therefore enabling them, their pre-evolutions, and evolutions to be acquired in Pokémon Black without trading.

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, Volbeat^B2 or Illumise^W2 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.

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

• While single encounters for wild Plusle^X and Minun^Y on Route 5 are version-exclusive, they can still be found in a horde in both versions.
• While single encounters for wild Zangoose^X and Seviper^Y on Route 8 are version-exclusive, they can still be found in a horde in both versions.
• Similar to the Generation V games, wild Huntail are exclusive to X, while wild Gorebyss are exclusive to Y, but Clamperl can be found and evolved in both games.

"Kalos legal"

In Generation VI, a new marking was introduced: a blue ⬟ appearing next to the set of user markings (●, ▲, ■, ♥, ★ and ♦) on the Pokémon's summary screen. This indicates a Pokémon obtained in Generation VI. When the rules of a tournament are restricted to "Kalos Pokémon" only, then only Pokémon with the mark may be used. Pokémon that are bred or captured in a Generation VI game will have this mark.

The following Pokémon can be brought into Pokémon X and Y using the Poké Transporter application, but because they cannot be captured or bred in Generation VI, there is no legal way for them to have the ⬟ mark:

# Name 151 Mew 201 Unown 243 Raikou 244 Entei 245 Suicune 249 Lugia 250 Ho-Oh 251 * Celebi 385 * Jirachi 386 Deoxys 480 Uxie 481 Mesprit 482 Azelf 483 Dialga 484 Palkia 485 Heatran 486 Regigigas 487 Giratina 488 Cresselia 490 Manaphy 491 * Darkrai 492 Shaymin 493 Arceus 494 Victini 638 Cobalion 639 Terrakion 640 Virizion 641 Tornadus 642 Thundurus 643 Reshiram 644 Zekrom 645 Landorus 646 Kyurem 647 Keldeo 648 Meloetta 649 Genesect

The following Pokemon cannot currently be obtained with a ⬟ mark, but were obtainable in Ruby and Sapphire. It remains to be seen if they can be obtained in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and if so, whether they will have the ⬟ mark.

# Name 377 Regirock 378 Regice 379 Registeel 380 Latias 381 Latios 382 Kyogre 383 Groudon 384 Rayquaza

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

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.

Trivia

• Due to a large number of wild Pokémon that can only be caught on White Forest which is an area that is exclusive only to Pokémon White, Pokémon White has the largest number of version-exclusive Pokémon of any Pokémon game to date.
