In-Game Trade Pokémon
Fourth Generation Pokemon
These Pokémon are not catchable, but they have special roles in the game. The Herbalist's Munchlax will often appear at a Pokéspot send the hero a false alarm that a wild Pokémon had appeared to eat his Poké Snacks. When the hero finds Munchlax, the Herbalist will appear to get it back, and will offer the hero ten more Poké Snacks for his trouble.
A girl's Bonsly is found inside the S.S. Libra after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon Cipher members forgot to take to Cipher Key Lair. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in Pyrite Town, she'll allow the hero to play a special bingo board at Realgam Tower, which features Bonsly as a usable Pokémon.
