It has been suggested that this article be moved to Game-exclusive Pokémon. Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page. |
Version-exclusive Pokémon, officially referred to as game-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. |
- When Genesect is holding a Drive, the light on its cannon changes color. The Burn and Shock Drives are exclusive to Black, while the Douse and Chill Drives are exclusive to White.
- While Cottonee and Petilil are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, there is an in-game trade in Nacrene City for the Pokémon which is exclusive to the other game. By extension, this also allows Whimsicott and Lilligant to be obtained in the versions they are otherwise unobtainable in.
- While Volbeat and Illumise are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, 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.
- Wild Huntail are exclusive to Black, while wild Gorebyss are exclusive to White, but Clamperl can be found and evolved in both games.
- Metapod, Butterfree, Misdreavus and Poochyena are exclusive to White, while Murkrow and Houndour are exclusive to Black; however, these Pokémon are available in the Pokémon Dream World.
White Forest
The following Pokémon can only be found in White Forest, or can only be obtained by breeding or evolving a Pokémon caught in White Forest, which is exclusive to Pokémon White:
- 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. |
- Similar to Black and White, while Cottonee and Petilil are unavailable in the wild in White 2 and Black 2 respectively, an in-game trade on Route 4 allows players to obtain the one that is exclusive to the other version. It also allows players to obtain Whimsicott and Lilligant in versions where they would be otherwise unavailable.
- Akin to previous games, one of VolbeatB2 or IllumiseW2 will swarm on Route 3 but not the other. 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 exclusively in White 2 and wild Heracross exclusively in Black 2, in the forest's Hidden Grotto (which isn't tracked by the Pokédex), both can appear in either 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, like 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 Black 2 and White 2, respectively, after trading the necessary key from a game which has unlocked them. Initially, Regice's key is unlocked in White 2, and Registeel's in Black 2.
