An Intended Pokémon is a specific Pokémon that is intended to be used in certain events in the games.

Generation V

At the climax of Pokémon Black and White, inside N's Castle, Reshiram^B/Zekrom^W will appear in front of the player and challenge them. The player must capture it to proceed to the final confrontation with N. The only exception occurs if the player has a full party, and a completely filled Storage System (a total of 726 individual Pokémon). In this case, Reshiram^B/Zekrom^W will reappear at the peak of Dragonspiral Tower after defeating N and Ghetsis.

Generation VI

In Pokémon X and Y, after battling Korrina at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a Lucarionite. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

In the player's final confrontation with Team Flare at their secret headquarters in Geosenge Town, Xerneas^X or Yveltal^Y will be awakened and attack the player. Similar to Reshiram and Zekrom in Black and White, the player must capture it to proceed to the final confrontation with Lysandre; If it is defeated, it will instantly respawn. The only exception occurs if the player has a full party, and a completely filled Storage System (a total of 726 individual Pokémon). If the player's party is full, the player will have the chance to send one of their Pokémon to the PC to make room for the Legendary Pokémon.

Generation VIII

In the Pokémon Sword and Shield expansion pack, after completing all three trials, the player will receive this Kubfu from Mustard. The player is then tasked with training at either the Tower of Darkness or the Tower of Waters with Kubfu alone. Completing its training will cause it to evolve into Urshifu in either its Fighting/Dark Single Strike Style or Fighting/Water Rapid Strike Style, depending on the place it trained.
