[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. Some Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (such as {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Feebas}}, and {{p|Wailmer}}). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in multiple Generation IV games (the ones unavailable from HeartGold and SoulSilver may be found in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum), so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan Forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.

** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan Forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian Forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times. From Regina, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Darumaka}}, and {{p|Stunfisk}} and the Alolan Forms of {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}} can be obtained without requiring transfer (as can the original forms of {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Linoone}}, and {{p|Darmanitan}} via evolution).

** The Isle of Armor also features a [[Fields of Honor#Diglett Trainer|Diglett Trainer]] who owns 151 Alolan Diglett that are scattered throughout the island. The player is tasked with finding these Diglett, and the Trainer will reward them with Pokémon, most of which are Alolan Forms, when they reach certain milestones. From this Diglett Trainer, the following forms of Pokémon are obtainable without requiring transfer: Alolan {{p|Meowth}} (after finding 5 Diglett), regular {{p|Slowpoke}} (after finding 10 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (after finding 20 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}} (after finding 30 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Raichu}} (after finding 40 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Marowak}} (after finding 50 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} (after finding 75 Diglett), and Alolan {{p|Diglett}} (after finding all 151 Diglett).
