'''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild. | '''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players.
