|desc=[[File:216Teddiursa.png|right|80px]]The only known information about this creature is from its brief appearance in [[EP072]]. It seems to be a bear, and thus bears similarity to {{DL|Prototype Pokémon and characters|Honōguma}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Cubchoo}}. It has decorative markings covering its body; due to the fact that markings like this are also present on the other Pokémopolis Pokémon featured in the episode, such as {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Psyduck}}, it is unlikely to have been a normal feature. It is unknown whether it was intended to be in the games, however with its rounded ears, brown colour and cub-like appearance it seems to be very similar to {{p|Teddiursa}}.}}

|desc=This creature made its sole appearance in [[EP138]]. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compound eyes, two antennae on its head, and a mouth with four large fangs. It has a thorax with eight long brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin black stripes. Its cry has the sound of a scream, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of it appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and its cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its appearance rather early into the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive Pokémon.}}
