Giant Pokémon
Giant Pokémon, while they rarely played a large part in terms of plot, are nonetheless a recurring theme in the Pokémon anime. There are several episodes that have a plot that revolve around unusually large Pokémon, such to the point that it seems to be a rather common mutation for Pokémon to go through.

Giant Pokémon occasionally turn up in the video games and manga series. A Fisherman on Route 222 will reward the player if he is shown a Pokémon that is larger than usual. In Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Hocus attacks the player with a giant Crobat when he is faced in the Sky Fortress.
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash catches a giant Slowpoke in Ash vs. Gary. He later gives it to Gary in exchange for his sister, May Oak.
In Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys, a giant Sudowoodo blocks Route 36. It turns out that the Sudowoodo is giant because of dried mud covering its body.
