Ambulances have been seen a few times in the anime. Team Rocket, disguised as paramedics, drove an ambulance in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. An ambulance appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', when [[Florence]] was taken to the Calanthe Town hospital by ambulance. Another one featured in ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'', where Team Rocket were again disguised as ambulance drivers.

In the anime, a flying saucer appeared in ''[[BW030|A UFO for Elgyem!]]'' made by [[Professor Icarus]], which was later destroyed by {{TRT}}. The professor had become inspired by a UFO sighting when he was 8, and had previously made a small flying saucer after quitting university. The professor stated that by manipulating {{wp|dark matter}} and by extension, {{wp|gravity}}, real UFOs could reach speeds faster than the {{wp|speed of light}}.

Another UFO appeared in ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'' driven by several {{p|Beheeyem}} which crash landed near [[Capacia Island]]. Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket sneaked onto the UFO to try to save the people of Capacia Island who had all been turned into Behheyem.

The [[Mossdeep Space Center]] located in [[Mossdeep City]] successfully sends rockets into space, though specifics of the space missions are unknown. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the Space Center plays a big part in the plot, where [[Team Magma]] attempts to steal rocket fuel while a rocket begins to launch into space. It also plays a key role in the [[Delta Episode]] of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where [[Professor Cozmo]] intends to use a rocket full of [[Infinity Energy]] as well as the energy of human (found in [[Key Stone]]s) to create a warp hole to take an asteroid off collision course with the planet. A rocket can be seen outside the Space Center.

In the games, {{m|Surf|Surfing}} and {{m|Fly|Flying}} are common modes of transport. Notably, {{p|Lapras}}, the Transport Pokémon, is often seen as a way of ferrying people across the sea. {{2v2|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}} also introduced [[soaring in the sky]] where the player can use the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} to summon {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} to fly over Hoenn.

In the anime, Pokémon are also used occasionally for transportation. People, as well as Pokémon themselves, may ride on Pokémon for various reasons. This is mostly seen in races, wherein only Pokémon may be used to move around. This was first notable in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', where Ash and his friends joined a race.

===Rhyhorn===
===Rhyhorn===
In {{game|X and Y}}, '''Rhyhorn racing''' was introduced as a mode of transportation adopted by competing Rhyhorn racers. Though the player cannot participate in an actual Rhyhorn race, the {{player}}'s [[mother]], {{kal|Grace}}, is a retired {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer, and her Rhyhorn partner lounges outside her house. The player can ride this Rhyhorn, but cannot take it outside the small front lawn. The player can also ride Rhyhorn on {{rt|9|Kalos}}, which is the only way to cross the jagged, rocky terrain to [[Glittering Cave]]. Big boulders which block various parts of the route can be easily smashed apart by the Rhyhorn.

In the anime, Rhyhorn have also been used as a mode of transport by Rhyhorn racers. Rhyhorn racing was first introduced in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' where Serena was attempting to ride her mother's Rhyhorn under the watchful eye of her mother, an accomplished Rhyhorn racer. An actual Rhyhorn race was first shown in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' where Ash competed in a Rhyhorn race. Serena also rode on a Rhyhorn in ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'' to catch up to the fleeing {{TRT}}. Serena was able to catch up to Team Rocket since Rhyhorn are faster than the Skiddo which Ash, {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Clemont}} had rode on to catch up to Team Rocket.

===Mamoswine===
In {{game|X and Y}}, the player must ride a rental {{p|Mamoswine}} in order to traverse {{rt|17|Kalos}} which is mostly covered in snow so thick that it is completely inaccessible by foot. With the Mamoswine, the {{player}} can plow through the snow with ease, and crush big boulders blocking certain parts of the route.

Rental Mamoswine also appeared in the anime in ''[[XY082|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]'', where two Mamoswine were hired by Ash and his friends to travel through the steep and snow-laden {{rt|17|Kalos}}.

In {{game|X and Y}}, a {{DL|Lumiose City|Gogoat Shuttle}} service in [[Lumiose City]] allows the player to ride a {{p|Gogoat}} around the city. Signposts are located all around the Boulevards where  the shuttle service can be used. The fare is flat at {{Pdollar}}200.

Similarly, on {{rt|12|Kalos}}, {{p|Skiddo}} can be ridden at [[Baa de Mer Ranch]]. These Skiddo can be used to explore parts of the route that cannot be accessed by foot alone.

Gogoat have been used as a mode of transport in the anime. In particular, {{an|Alexa}} has ridden atop her {{TP|Alexa|Gogoat}} on several occasions to find things to report on.

Similarly, in ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'' Ash and his friends have ridden on Skiddo when they visited Baa de Mer Ranch. {{an|Serena}} and [[Grace|her mother]] also had a Skiddo race to determine whether Serena would pursue Rhyhorn racing as a career. Like Gogoat, Skiddo's the ability to read the feelings of its riders through their grip on its horns is important in controlling Skiddo when riding.
