Most of the [[gift Pokémon]] are [[List of Pokémon by availability|obtainable]] only once per game. Some of these Pokémon (as well as their evolutions and previous evolutionary stages, if any) are not available anywhere else in the game, except by trades or transfers from other games, or by {{pkmn|breeding}} the gift Pokémon once it is obtained. Therefore, if the player loses any of these scarce gift Pokémon by either [[released Pokémon|releasing]] it or [[trade|trading]] it away without breeding it first, then it and its evolutionary family will not be available anywhere else in the current game.

For instance, in several Pokémon games, the only way to obtain an [[starter Pokémon]] of the current [[region]] (outside of trades and transfers from other games) is by choosing that starter at the beginning of the game. In some games (from {{game|Emerald}} onwards), it also possible to obtain one or more starter Pokémon from other regions as gifts. If the player releases it or trades it way without breeding it first, then that starter and its evolutions would be unavailable in the current game.

As another example, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player is able to choose between receiving a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}}. The player may then breed it to obtain {{p|Tyrogue}}, which can evolve into either of these Pokémon, as well as into {{p|Hitmontop}}. If the player obtains Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan but then releases it or trades it away without breeding it, then the whole evolutionary family (Tyrogue, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop) would be unavailable in the current game.

There are several [[wild Pokémon]] battles from in-game events. They include some [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld, as well as [[roaming Pokémon]].

In several games, there is only one per species of [[Legendary Pokémon]]. In some cases, there is also a limited supply of other wild Pokémon from in-game events. For instance, there are only two {{p|Snorlax}} in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], and only one {{p|Sudowoodo}} in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} (this Sudowoodo respawns in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}). Additionally, the player can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] several of these Pokémon to obtain more Pokémon of the same species. However, it's not possible to breed any [[Legendary Pokémon]].

===Fake items===
There are {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} disguised as items in some games. They don't respawn if they are defeated. In most cases, other Pokémon of the same species are found elsewhere in the same games. However, in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the only Electrode available are the ones disguised as items in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], so if they are defeated or skipped (as the area can't be revisited after defeating [[Giovanni]]), Electrode cannot be caught in these games. This is also the only way to get an Electrode in a [[Beast Ball]]. Additionally, the only way to obtain Voltorb is to breed said Electrode with {{p|Ditto}}.
