*There are two minor exceptions to the above rule: In the post-Elite Four stage of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a male trainer on [[Route 229]] can be found using Salamence, and a female trainer can be found with Metagross on [[Route 224]].

*In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s Story Mode, [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Nascour]] and Shadow {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by [[Evice]]; it is notable that the two [[Cipher]] leaders have positions comparable to those of the final [[Elite Four]] member and [[Champion]], respectively.
