Through some unique circumstances, it is possible to have Pokémon at a lower level than they are usually available via [[evolution]]. Underleveled Pokémon appeared as early as {{v2|Red and Green|s}}, with level 4-6 {{p|Kakuna}} and {{p|Metapod}} available in [[Viridian Forest]]. Kakuna and Metapod cannot be obtained by evolution until level 7. | Through some unique circumstances, it is possible to have Pokémon at a lower level than they are usually available via [[evolution]].

Prior to Generation V, Pokémon obtained in [[in-game trade]]s are always the same level as the one being traded away, so many underleveled Pokémon can be obtained through in-game trades. For example, in {{2v2|Red|Blue}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, it is possible to obtain an {{p|Electrode}} as low as level 3, even though the species evolves from {{p|Voltorb}} only at level 30 or above. This Electrode can be obtained by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]] at level 3, evolving it with the [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], and trading it on [[Cinnabar Island]]. | Prior to Generation V, Pokémon obtained in [[in-game trade]]s are always the same level as the one being traded away, so many underleveled Pokémon can be obtained through in-game trades.

Some [[non-player character]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle. For example, [[Lance]] has three underleveled {{p|Dragonite}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with one being at level 50 and two at level 49 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} (Dragonite does not evolve naturally from {{p|Dragonair}} until level 55). Many other in-game Trainers, such as [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], also possess underleveled Pokémon. | Some [[non-player character]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle.
