Game-exclusive Pokémon, also known as 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, between Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Mawile appears only in Ruby, while Sableye appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Game-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 game exclusives in the first two games of a set, and then in the third game, some (but not all) game-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.
In the core series games
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 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 Pokémon which are game exclusives in the Generation III core series games can be caught using the dongle method with that game in the GBA slot. In Pokémon XD, the seven Pokémon that appear in Ruby or Sapphire but not in Emerald are all obtainable, meaning that it is possible to complete the regional Pokédex in Pokémon Emerald trading with only one other game instead of two.
Generation I
Listed below under the "Blue" header is the Pokémon distribution in the Japanese Pokémon Blue. This is not the same as the Western Pokémon Blue; the Pokémon distribution in the Western Pokémon Blue is the same as that of the Japanese Pokémon Green.

- Wild Banette are exclusive to Pokémon Sapphire and Emerald, while wild Dusclops are exclusive to Pokémon Ruby, but both Shuppet and Duskull can be encountered in the wild all three versions, and can evolve into Banette and Dusclops respectively.
- If the player obtains an event item, the Eon Ticket, they can encounter whichever of Latios and Latias they could not encounter in their game.
- In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Deoxys is always in its Normal Forme; in Pokémon Emerald, Deoxys is always in its Speed Forme. However, Deoxys cannot be obtained in any of these games during normal gameplay.

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 game-exclusive Pokémon of core series Pokémon game to date.
