{{p|Grimer}}, and consequently {{p|Muk}}, were created from human pollution in a stream which was exposed to x-rays from the Moon, according to several [[Pokédex]] entries. As they were created from genetic waste, Grimer and Muk are {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

{{p|Voltorb}} and, as such, {{p|Electrode}}, first appeared, according to several Pokédex entries, at the company where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. It is currently unknown why, but it bears a striking resemblance to the Poké Ball. Some speculate it to be a conscious form of energy, a theory supported by its {{m|Selfdestruct|unstable nature}}.
{{p|Voltorb}} and, as such, {{p|Electrode}}, first appeared, according to several Pokédex entries, at [[Silph Co.|the company]] where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. It is rumored that it was first created when a Poké Ball was exposed to a powerful pulse of energy.

Until the re-discovery of {{p|Golett}}, {{p|Porygon}} was thought to be the first Pokémon created deliberately. It is the first Pokémon deliberately created using modern technology, as the result of an experiment by the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Kanto]]. [[Silph Co.]] possesses a report on the Pokémon, calling it the first "virtual-reality Pokémon". Because it is made up entirely of computer data, it is able to exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction. Porygon was developed to work in space, but it lacks this ability until evolving.

Porygon possesses two evolutions, both possible through artificial upgrades. {{p|Porygon2}} evolves from Porygon when it is traded while holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}. According to some Pokédex entries, it is designed to work in and explore space; despite this, it is unable to reach and explore other planets. Unlike its predecessor, Porygon2 is not limited to what is contained in its program - it is capable of learning.

Porygon2 evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}. It is a modification of Porygon2, designed for travel between different [[dimensions]]. However, it did not work as planned so it exhibits erratic behavior and is capable of displaying emotion.

{{p|Mewtwo}} is a powerful legendary Pokémon which is the result of gene splicing experiments using the DNA of {{p|Mew}}. According to logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} in Kanto, Mew "gave birth" to Mewtwo after an embryo had been developed. This is inconsistent with Pokémon traditionally being born from {{pkmn|Egg}}s. It has a somewhat artificial appearance, most notably the tube protruding from the back of its neck. Like Mew, it harnesses powerful {{t|psychic}} energy. However, Mewtwo's power was amplified to exceed Mew's power in an effort to create the most powerful Pokémon ever created.

{{p|Castform}} was created by scientists at the [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]]. It was created to help the scientists predict the weather - because of this, it has the ability to change its [[Form differences|form]] and type with the [[Weather conditions|weather condition]].

{{p|Trubbish}}'s Pokédex entries says it was created when a garbage and industrial waste mixed, causing a reaction that generated Trubbish. {{p|Garbodor}}, as its evolution, springs from the same source.
