* In Red and Blue, a truck is located in a normally inaccessible part of the [[S.S. Anne#Rumors|S.S. Anne]]. There were rumors that one could get a Mew or a rare item by using {{m|Strength}} on it.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, if the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] is used to look for an item near the truck, a [[Lava Cookie]] can be found instead, as possibly a reference to the rumors.

* In [[Unova]], trucks can be seen on [[Skyarrow Bridge]], driving on the road beneath the walkway for pedestrians. Trucks can also be seen driving on the highway, in {{rt|4|Unova}}.

In the games, {{m|Surf|Surfing}} and {{m|Fly|Flying}} are common modes of transport. Notably, {{p|Lapras}}, the Transport Pokémon, is often seen as a way of ferrying people across the sea. {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} also introduced [[soaring in the sky]] where the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to summon {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} to fly over Hoenn.

For example, in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Lapras is used to transport the player and partner to other islands.


In the anime, Pokémon are also used occasionally for transportation. People, as well as Pokémon themselves, may ride on Pokémon for various reasons. This is mostly seen in races, wherein only Pokémon may be used to move around. This was first notable in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', where Ash and his friends joined a race.

Like in the games, Trainers also Surf or Fly using their Pokémon, such as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' where Trainers attempted to use their Pokémon to reach Mewtwo's Island. Ash and his friends also used {{AP|Lapras}} in going around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Ash's {{type|Flying}} Pokémon were rode on many times, mostly by {{AP|Pikachu}} for looking for something or attacking {{TRT}}'s balloon. Pikachu rode on {{AP|Butterfree}} in episodes such as ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. It also rode on Pidgeotto, Swellow and Staraptor, Ash's bird-based Pokémon, multiple times.

Like Gogoat, Skiddo's ability to read the feelings of its riders through their grip on its horns is important in controlling Skiddo when riding.
