Any Trainers looking to completely fill out their Pokédex in or will be sorely disappointed unless they have access to both games. Like many of the mainline video games, not only are there two versions of the game, but each comes with several version-exclusive Pokémon that are not available in the other edition. While most of the pocket monsters remain the same in both versions of the story, there are around a dozen in each title that are unique to that game, as well as their Alolan variants.
Since the beginning, video games have been released in multiple editions, each with exclusive creatures to find. This practice is designed to encourage players to trade with other people who have the other edition of the game. The concept is one of the foundational points of the franchise, whether in its video games, the, or other shareable items. Of course, completing the Pokédex is not mandatory for finishing either game, or players could alternately purchase both versions if they have the budget for it, to collect 'em all.
The basic narrative for the two games remains the same, regardless of which starter Pokémon version is played. The key difference comes down to around a dozen exclusive Pokémon, plus the regional Alolan variants that some of the creatures have. Both games have four unique Alolan variant Pokémon that are specific to that version of the game.
The following is a list of all version-exclusive Pokémon in They can be traded to players with the other edition of the game or to anyone with either edition who has not been able to find them.
