|nick=Substitute doll

|desc=[[File:SubstituteStadium2.png|right]]

While the {{m|Substitute}} doll originally looked similar to {{p|Rhydon}}, the design evolved over time to a more neutral design. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', its trophy description points out that, while it looks and gets attacked like a Pokémon, it is not actually one. The doll has gone on to receive several pieces of merchandise, including its own plush doll and clothes.}}

|nick=Original legendary beasts

|desc=[[File:Suicune Entei Raikou PG.png|right|200px]]

{{main|Legendary beasts}}

It is said that the Legendary beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were reincarnated by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after they died in the fire that burned down the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower (Raikou), the fire that burned the tower down (Entei), and the rain that put it out (Suicune). While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' shows them as three nameless Pokémon.}}

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in Nintendo Dream, the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, but they bear a notable resemblance to a human skull.

 

Pokédex entries say that most of the bones Mandibuzz uses to decorate its nest come from {{p|Cubone}}. These bones could also take part in Vullaby and Mandibuzz's design.}}

{{main|Tao trio}}

According to legend, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} were once a single powerful dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the [[Unova]] region. However, 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 whose 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 revealed in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] that when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, {{p|Kyurem}}, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively, using the [[DNA Splicers]], but the appearance of the original dragon Pokémon's complete form is unknown. In [[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]], the Original Dragon is briefly seen as a winged silhouette alongside the two heroes.}}

* The [[Fossilized Bird]], which forms the top halves of Dracozolt and Arctozolt, appears to be from a light, bird-like {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

However, the [[Pokédex]] entries for all four of the [[Generation VIII]] Fossil Pokémon suggest that they lived in prehistoric times, as does Cara Liss upon reviving one of them, though this information is somewhat implied to be inaccurate.

|epnum=Pokémon Legends: Arceus

|epname=Pokémon Legends: Arceus

|desc=[[File:0493Arceus.png|right|130px]]

{{main|Arceus (Pokémon)}}

Arceus's conversation with the player after it is defeated in Legends: Arceus, heavily implies that the physical, goat-like form first seen in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl is not the actual Arceus, but only a piece of its whole being. In Legends: Arceus's opening scene, Arceus speaks to the player in its [[Dimension|home dimension]]: there, it appears as a large amount of bright golden energy shaped like its main form. This unknown form may be Arceus's true appearance.}}

|type1=Scarlet

In the [[Scarlet Book]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon inspired by the Paradox Pokémon found in [[Area Zero]] is seen, drawn by a member of the Area Zero Expedition team. This Pokémon resembles the [[Legendary beasts]]: {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} and their ancient counterparts: {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}.

 

It's implied that this sketch was drawn by a member of the Area Zero Expedition team that managed to catch a glimpse of each of the Paradox Pokémon, Walking Wake, Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt during their exploration in Area Zero.}}

In the [[Violet Book]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]], a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] found in [[Area Zero]] is seen, drawn by a member of the Area Zero Expedition team. This Pokémon resembles the [[Swords of Justice]]: {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} and their futuristic counterparts: {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Boulder}} and {{p|Iron Crown}}.

|epnum=The Teal Mask

|epname=The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask

|desc=[[File:The Loyal Three.png|right|200px]]

In [[Kitakami]] myths, it is said that the Pokémon that formed the Loyal Three were once below-average Pokémon: {{p|Okidogi}} was small and weak, {{p|Munkidori}} was clumsy and dim-witted, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} had short, dull feathers. The {{a|Toxic Chain}}s wrapped around their bodies granted them the strength, cleverness, and beauty that they respectively wished for. It's later revealed that {{p|Pecharunt}} was the one that transformed the trio with its Toxic Chains, while also using its [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] to tame them, so they could help it complete its journey to steal a brilliant set of masks desired by its caretakers.  

 

The trio's original appearance is currently unknown and their [[Type|Typings]] are implied to be completely different from the ones they now possess. What appear to be their original forms are depicted alongside a human child on [[Kitakami]]'s signboards.}}

|desc=A silhouette possibly of a Pokémon was discovered in the coding of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]]. This silhouette was discovered in the navigation bar on the game's tutorial page, combined with images of the [[Unova]] [[first partner Pokémon]]. No additional information on the silhouette was contained in the source code of the tutorial's Flash file. [http://web.archive.org/web/20111018032550/http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/12588/tcg-online-silhouette-confirmed-to-not-be-a-new-pokemon According to Serena Robar], a community manager for The Pokémon Company International, it is not an actual Pokémon and is a placeholder image that wasn't removed after the code was decompiled.}}

|type1=Grass

|type2=Water

|desc=<div style="float: right">[[File:0009Blastoise.png|130px]][[File:0003Venusaur.png|130px]]</div>

In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} with the ability to create illusions solid enough to attack people created a crossbreed of a {{p|Blastoise}} and a {{p|Venusaur}}, calling it a "Venustoise" (Japanese: フシギックス ''Fushigix'').}}

|desc=[[File:Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS Kabutops.png|right|200px]]

This is the only representation in the anime, albeit in statue form, of the aquatic life that {{p|Kabutops}} is said to have feasted on in most [[Kabutops (Pokémon)#Pokédex entries 2|Pokédex entries]] since {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

Kabutops and the fish first appeared in art from the ''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]],'' and bears some similarities to the silhouette on the [[Neo Genesis]] card ''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Super Rod|103}}''.}}

|desc=<div style="float: right">[[File:0343Baltoy.png|130px]][[File:0344Claydol.png|130px]]</div>

This clay artifact that looks like a Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'' and then again over nine-and-a-half years later in ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]''. [[Professor Oak]] descibes it as an "ancient Pokémon [[fossil]] [or] artifact".

 

|desc=[[File:0130Gyarados-Mega.png|right|130px]]

In a sequence where the main characters see their dreams for the future, Misty sees herself chasing an unknown "legendary water Pokémon". The only part of the Pokémon the viewer sees is a giant fin, which is reminiscent to that of the then-unreleased {{me|Gyarados}}.}}

{{main|Unown (Pokémon)}}

Unidentified Unown seen on Professor Oak's computer. Due to the introduction of two additional Unown forms in [[Generation III]], some fans have speculated that these may have been very early prototypes for new forms of {{p|Unown}}. Some of the Unown resemble various Greek and Cyrillic letters, namely {{wp|Я}}, {{wp|Ω}}, {{wp|Σ}}, {{wp|б}}, {{wp|Д}}, {{wp|ω}}, {{wp|Pi (letter)|Π}}, and {{wp|σ}}.

|desc=[[File:0267Beautifly.png|right|130px]]

An unnamed fairy was seen in [[Molly Hale]]'s book of Legendary Pokémon in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. It has some similarities to {{p|Beautifly}}.}}

|desc=[[File:0791Solgaleo.png|right|130px]]

An unnamed sun was seen in [[Molly Hale]]'s book of Legendary Pokémon in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. The only known Legendary Pokémon related to the sun is {{p|Solgaleo}}.}}

|nick=Unnamed monster

|desc=<div style="float: right">[[File:0384Rayquaza.png|130px]][[File:0429Mismagius.png|130px]]</div>

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a wild {{p|Mismagius}} created an illusory {{p|Rayquaza}} belonging to the fake [[Cynthia]]. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} discovered that it was all just an illusion, it combined itself with its Rayquaza illusion.}}

|nick=Unknown cat-like creature

|nick=Unknown Water-type Pokémon

|type1=Water

|desc=[[File:0321Wailord.png|right|130px]]

There are a number of unidentified Water-type Pokémon at the [[Cerulean Gym]]. One of the most notable is a baleen whale-like Pokémon seen in the aquarium. It has three sets of flippers, coincidentally making it appear very similar to the much-later introduced {{p|Wailord}}. Others include a jellyfish, a fish located just underneath the jellyfish, and others swimming around the glass.}}

|type1=Flying

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, the statue in [[Eterna City]] is neither Dialga or Palkia but a combination of the two statues. This is a reflection of the statue's appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} being ambiguously shaped, in order to represent a different member of the duo in each game with a different tile palette. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the statue was redesigned to be an explicit fusion between the two, similarly to how it appears in the manga.

|type1=Bug

|desc=[[File:0666Vivillon.png|right|130px]]

On the cover of the first chapter, {{PPM|Red}} is shown surrounded by three stylized and mostly identical butterfly-like creatures with different patterns on their wings. Their overall shape and coloration gimmick quite noticeably resemble that of Vivillon.}}

|img=Oak Pokémon collection PM.png

|type1=Ground

|desc=[[File:0050Diglett.png|right|130px]]

This unknown Pokémon was captured by {{PPM|Red}} in ''[[PM002|The Big Battle In The Viridian Forest!!]]''. It was his second Pokémon, after Clefairy. It is never named and the only other thing known about this Pokémon is that it is supposedly very weak. It escaped from its Poké Ball in the same chapter. Although it is commonly seen as a {{type|Bug}} by the fandom, it is most likely a really off-model {{p|Diglett}} as [https://qbertp.tumblr.com/post/177028166016/the-strange-case-of-manga-exclusive-pok%C3%A9mon later representations of Diglett by Anakubo] seem to confirm.  

|desc=[[Brock]] is shown with a large Pokémon collection at the [[Pewter Gym]]. Many of them are not identifiable as currently known Pokémon. One of them on the top left shelf resembles the Red's unnamed Pokémon.}}

|desc={{main|MechaMew2}}<br>[[File:MechaMew2.png|right|130px]]

'''MechaMew2''' is a Robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} seen only in ''[[Pokémon Live!]]''. It is considered by its creator [[Giovanni]] to be the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Giovanni promised {{pkmn|Trainer}}s the very rare Diamond Badge to anyone who could defeat it. MechaMew2 is based on {{p|Mewtwo}}, another Pokémon whose creation was ordered by Giovanni. It destroys itself at the end of the show after learning an attack of love, caring, and friendship.}}
