Outsider Pokémon can be obtained in a number of ways. If the {{player}} has multiple game paks and {{cat|game systems}}, a Pokémon may be exchanged in a [[trade]]. He or she may also trade with a friend's game and ([[Generation IV]] onwards) via {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station}}. There are also a number of [[in-game trade]]s available in every [[core series]] game, with a number of [[non-player character]]s willing to trade one of their Pokémon (which may or may not be otherwise obtainable) for one of the player's.

Sometimes non-player characters will {{pkmn2|gift}} the player with a Pokémon without requiring an exchange, but usually these Pokémon will not be treated as outsiders (having the same ID and OT name as the player). In some instances, however, they are, such as {{jo|Webster}}'s {{p|Spearow}} in {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and [[N's Pokémon|N's Zorua]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

Pokémon obtained from [[Event Pokémon|event distributions]] have predefined original Trainers, and so are outsider Pokémon.
