'''Real-world animals''' have been mentioned a number of times to exist in the [[Pokémon world|world of Pokémon]]. Most often, they are mentioned in relation to a [[Pokémon category]].

Other than this, all other mentions of animals are rare. | '''Real-world animals''' have been mentioned a number of times to exist in the [[Pokémon world|world of Pokémon]].
