Understanding Version Exclusive Pokémon
Version exclusive Pokémon have been a core feature of the Pokémon franchise since the original Red and Blue games released in 1996. The concept encourages players to trade and interact with others who own different versions of the game, fostering the community spirit that Pokémon is known for. Each paired release features certain Pokémon that can only be caught in one version, making trading essential for completing the Pokédex.
In modern Pokémon games like Scarlet and Violet, version exclusives extend beyond just wild Pokémon. Legendary Pokémon, paradox forms, and even certain evolution methods may differ between versions. Scarlet features past paradox Pokémon and Koraidon, while Violet introduces future paradox Pokémon and Miraidon. Understanding these differences is crucial for players who want to experience everything both games have to offer.
Our version exclusives comparison tool supports all mainline Pokémon games including the latest entries. From classic games like Red/Blue and Gold/Silver to modern titles like Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet, you can compare any two versions to see exactly which Pokémon are exclusive to each. The tool also includes DLC content, so you won't miss any Pokémon from expansion passes like The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk.
Tips for Trading Version Exclusives
Use Pokémon HOME
Pokémon HOME is a cloud service that lets you transfer Pokémon between games. It also has a GTS (Global Trade Station) feature where you can trade with players worldwide, making it easier to obtain version exclusives.
Join Trading Communities
Reddit communities like r/pokemontrades and Discord servers dedicated to Pokémon trading are great places to find trade partners. Share your trade list generated by our tool to quickly find someone with the Pokémon you need.
Offer Fair Trades
When trading version exclusives, offering the equivalent exclusive from your version is considered fair. For example, trade a Scarlet-exclusive for a Violet-exclusive. Legendary trades typically require legendary Pokémon in return.
Check for Special Forms
Some Pokémon have different forms exclusive to each version. Make sure to specify if you need a particular form, as regular and special forms may have different availability.

Our version exclusives tool supports comparisons between all paired Pokémon games across every generation. Compare exclusives from any of these titles to plan your trades and complete your collection.
