===Grimer and Muk===
According to several [[Pokédex]] entries, {{p|Grimer}} and consequently {{p|Muk}} were created from human pollution in a stream exposed to {{wp|X-ray}}s from the Moon. 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 [[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, however as Porygon can be bred using {{p|Ditto}}, this is arguably ineffective. 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.

[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|left|thumb|250px|Mewtwo is a clone of Mew.]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a powerful Legendary Pokémon, the result of gene splicing experiments using the DNA of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{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.

===Genesect===
{{p|Genesect}}, a Mythical Pokémon, was a different Pokémon many years ago. However, in [[Unova]], [[Team Plasma]] reconstructed it from a [[Fossil]] with the goal to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] cancelled the project due to his belief that a Pokémon modified by science would lose its pureness. [[P2 Laboratory#Event 2|One scientist]], however, kept working on the project in secrecy, disagreeing with N's decision to cancel it. The scientist equipped Genesect with a metallic body, a cannon behind its head, and items known as [[drive]]s which change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.


===Type: Null and Silvally===
===Type: Null and Silvally===
{{p|Type: Null}} was created to synthesize strengths of various Pokémon, allowing it to adapt to any situation. The helmet Type: Null wears was made to control its powers and hinder its agility. When it evolves into {{p|Silvally}}, it deliberately destroys its helmet, allowing it to use its full power. It also has a drive on its head that utilizes its {{a|RKS System}} Ability.
{{p|Type: Null}} was created by the [[Aether Foundation]] as part of its "Beast Killer" project- an initiative to create a Pokémon optimized for battling the [[Ultra Beast]]s by using cell cultures from all known types of Pokémon and combining their greatest strengths. Originally known as "Type: Full", the {{a|RKS System}} it was originally built with was intended to allow it to change types in order to adapt to any situation. When the three known models all rejected the RKS system and went berserk, the project was deemed a failure and they were placed into cryogenic stasis. The helmet Type: Null wears was made to stabilize the side-effects of the RKS System's rejection at the expense of suppressing its full power. When it evolves into {{p|Silvally}}, it deliberately destroys its helmet and becomes able to use the RKS System without losing control of itself. Silvally was named by [[Gladion]], according to the Pokédex.

===Deoxys===
===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} is said to be a virus which fell from space while attached to a meteor. Once on Earth, this virus was mutated by accidental exposure to a laser beam which transformed it into a Pokémon. Its DNA remains unstable and it will {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Deoxys|mutate further}} when exposed to certain sources of extraterrestrial radiation.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
{{p|Burmy}} create outer cloaks out of their habitat. This may be composed of natural materials, as seen in its Plant Cloak or Sandy Cloak, or of artificial insulation as seen in its Trash Cloak. Burmy's cloak will change depending on the location of its last battle.

Female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}}, which retain the last cloak it had as a Burmy, including the Trash Cloak.
A female Burmy with the Trash Cloak will evolve into Trash Cloak {{p|Wormadam}}, with the same artificial cloak it had as a Burmy.

{{p|Yamask}} arose from the souls of dead people becoming attached to their respective death masks.


===Alolan Rattata and Raticate===
===Alolan Rattata and Raticate===
{{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} in [[Alola]] were booming in population until {{p|Yungoos}} were imported as a control measure. As a result, they changed their habitat, settling in urban areas and becoming nocturnal - which gave it an additional {{type|Dark}} and [[Alolan Form|changed its appearance]]. Due to the new environment, Rattata and Raticate indulged themselves in richer, high-calorie foods, which made Raticate fatter and have puffier cheeks.

===Alolan Meowth and Persian ===
{{p|Meowth}} were imported to Alola as a gift to royalty. Due to its pampered and luxurious lifestyle, Meowth grew greedy and selfish, becoming a pure Dark-type and changing its appearance, later becoming feral and more common in the wild after the monarchy in Alola fell and left it living on the streets.

Its prideful nature continued upon evolution as a {{p|Persian}} and its distinct and round face is revered by the people of Alola.
