Every Pokémon That Can't Actually Be Caught
In the Pokémon franchise, the phrase «catch 'em all» appears throughout the anime, movies, games, and more, but there are several monsters that players can't catch in the wild. While there are limited edition Pokémon that players must access specific WiFi networks or play specific titles for, these creatures are still catchable in some manner or other. Additionally, the controversial Dexit function is reportedly here to stay, with all available monsters no longer appearing in a single title. While this exclusion from Pokémon's core series disappoints dedicated fans, many creatures were never available to capture in the main series and spin-off titles.
There are many core series and spinoff Pokémon games for fans to enjoy worldwide, both on the Nintendo Switch, mobile devices, and previous generation Nintendo consoles. While the main series of games (Pokémon Red and Blue, Pokémon Sword and Shield, Pokémon Black and White, etc.) follow a strict formula, spin-off titles had more freedom with players' interactions with Pokémon. The goal to capture monsters, train them, and become Champion of the native region is common practice in the franchise, but other titles like New Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Ranger, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus shifted focus to other goals. Photographing Pokémon, temporarily recruiting wild creatures, and exploring an untamed region introduced new ways to interact with the Pokémon world without catching every monster.
