===Underleveled Pokémon===
<!--No further examples of underleveled Pokémon are necessary-->
Through some unique circumstances, it is possible to have Pokémon at a lower level than they are usually available via evolution. Underleveled Pokémon appeared as early as {{v2|Red and Green|s}}, with level 4-6 {{p|Kakuna}} and {{p|Metapod}} available in [[Viridian Forest]]. Kakuna and Metapod cannot be obtained by evolution until level 7.

Some [[non-player character]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle. For example, [[Lance]] has three underleveled {{p|Dragonite}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with one being at level 50 and two at level 49 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} (Dragonite does not evolve naturally until level 55). Many other in-game Trainers also possess underleveled Pokémon.

[[Roxie]], Leader of [[Virbank Gym]], owns a {{p|Whirlipede}} at Level 18, when it doesn't evolve from {{p|Venipede}} until Level 22.


An application of the [[Pomeg glitch]] in {{v2|Emerald}} makes it possible to evolve a Pokémon while it is still inside an Egg, allowing any such evolved forms to be obtained at level 5. In [[Generation IV]], this particular exploit of the Pomeg glitch was fixed; the Pomeg glitch was removed entirely in [[Generation V]].
