Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed.
Creatures with disputed status
In the games
Moving statues of an unidentified Dragon Pokémon in Opelucid Gym. It seems to be similar in shape to Rayquaza, with a Charizard-like head.
A statue of an unidentified Bug Pokémon appears on the gate route leading to Victory Road in Black and White.
In the anime
Debut | The Superhero Secret |
---|
This creature made its sole apperance in EP138. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compoundeyes, and a mouth with four large fangs. It has a thorax with eight long brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin black stripes. Its cry has the sound of a scream, not unlike Victreebel's. The nature of it appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and its cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its appearance rather early into the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive Pokémon.
Debut | Fossil Fools |
---|
The only representation, albeit in statue form, of the aquatic life that Kabutops is said to have feasted on. Notably similar to the silhouette on the Super Rod Neo Genesis card.

Dialga/Palkia hybrid statue in Eterna City.
Pokémon with disputed status
- Main article: Shellder (Pokémon)
- Main article: Slowbro (Pokémon)
- Main article: Slowking (Pokémon)
In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the King's Rock to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.
- Main article: Kangaskhan (Pokémon)
Kangaskhan carries around a little purple baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother’s body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth.
Debut | Spell of the Unown |

- Main article: Reshiram (Pokémon)
- Main article: Zekrom (Pokémon)
- Main article: Kyurem (Pokémon)
The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over who's side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.
It is possible that Kyurem is what is left of the original dragon Pokémon.
- Main article: Genesect (Pokémon)
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by Team Plasma from a fossil of this Pokemon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to it's lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part Template:Type2, nor would it have access to Techno Buster or similar moves.
