Summary
ThePokémonanime starring Ash Ketchum escape for a whopping 1,232 episodes , and there are currently " only " 1,025 Pokémon in existence , so it seems like the anime could easily have include every species . Yet , despite the ample chance , there are still a surprising issue of Pokémon who have slip through the cracks , meaningAsh never had a chance to meet these specie .
Many of the shut Pokémon are from the eighth generation game , SwordandShield , as well asPokémon Legends Arceus , which may be a outcome of the change expression check in the anime duringPokémon journey . BecauseJourneysfocused more heavily on the World Coronation Series battles that Ash had to take part in across the world , it did n’t spend as much time in Galar , and thus Galar Pokémon are the least represented . This listing only includes appearances in Ash ’s anime , notPokémon Horizonsor miniseries , although some of these Pokémon have appeared in those .
10Rolycoly and Carkol Were Just Plain Skipped
Type: Rock/Fire
Rolycoly and its evolution , Carkol , are two relatively coarse Pokémon themed around coal . They ’re retrieve in mines and are enjoin to have been used for the coal they can generate in the Galar part ’s past . While both Rolycoly and Carkol never appeared in the anime , their final evolution , Coalossal , appeared during theSword and ShieldDarkest Day Arca one of the Pokémon who produce to mammoth sizing due to the unstableness in the top executive spots around Galar .
Rolycoly and Carkol have both been fortunate enough to come along inPokémon Horizonssince its introduction , with Carkol feature aboard the dirigible and establish up slightly frequently , and Rolycoly appearing in episode 20 , where it was project under the ownership of a gymnasium trainer who work undergym drawing card Kabu - a lineament who never appeared in Ash ’s anime , either .
9Barraskewda Was Relegated to a Miniseries
Type: Water
Barraskewda is the evolved form of Arrokuda , and is a somewhat more rare ken than its lower pattern . It ’s known for blast ahead with its propeller - like pentad , racing towards targets like a missile in the water . Arrokuda appeared in the episode " Just A Scone ’s Throw From Here!",where it wasproduced by the Rocket Prize Masterfor use by Team Rocket ’s Jessie and James . This episode introduced quite a few Galar Pokémon for the first time , despite being comparatively close to the end of the serial ' discharge .
Barraskewda does happen to look in the miniseries themed around Galar known as " Twilight Wings , " where it was find in the lake where Nessa was diving and doing a photoshoot . Even this was a very pocket-sized show , however , and Barraskewda does n’t factor into the mini - sequence ’s plot at all .
Twilight Wings can be watched on Youtube for innocent .
8Arctovish and Dracozolt Were Rejected in Favor of their Counterparts
Type: Water/Ice and Electric/Dragon
Arctovish and Dracozolt are something of a special case , asthey are Pokémon revived from fogy , and thus not something Ash would usually be able to encounter . Still , that never stop over Ash from encounter other fossil Pokémon such as Aerodactyl . The manner Galar fogy work requires that two unlike pieces be joined together to create one creature , and Ash and Goh chose to create their counterparts , Arctozolt and Dracovish , rather .
Arctovish and Dracozolt do seem as an ikon on a screen in " A Pinch of This , A Pinch of That ! " , showing what the scientists in boot of this mad research believe the fossil should seem like , but are never seen as living , catch one’s breath Pokémon in the series . Because of the oddities involved in their world , Arctovish and Dracozolt are pretty unconvincing to appear inPokémon Horizons , although one can never say never when it comes to this series .
7Polteageist is Left to Haunt Alone
Type: Ghost
Polteageist is a obsessed teapot Pokémon that develop from the teacupful Pokémon Sinistea . Polteageist hail in two strain : an " antique " form , which bears a mark of authenticity , and a " phony " figure , which is a knockoff of the authentic mixture . Sinistea appear in the sequence " The Spectral Express ! " where it was seen alongside a number of other Ghost - character Pokémon , but for some reason Polteageist never made an appearance in that sequence alongside it .
Polteageist would be lucky enough to be the star of episode 30 ofPokémon Horizons , where it was found to be leaving wet spots around the ship , and intruded uponthe ship - bound Pokémon ’s cloak-and-dagger fight club . Interestingly , Polteageist is shown reproducing in this episode without the use of Pokémon eggs , creating Antique - form Sinistea by stream its liquid into an veritable old-timer cup owned by Liko ’s grandmother .
6Bolthund Was Ditched In Favor of Its Pre-Evolved Form
Type: Electric
Bolthund is the evolved form of the Corgi Pokémon , Yamper . It ’s known for being incredibly tight , able-bodied to draw at up to 50 miles an time of day . Yamper had a fairly meaning role inPokémon Journeys , appearing as Chloe and Professor Cerise ’s family pet , and as such was able to appear somewhat often . However , since Yamper was treated as a pet , it never really battled , nor was it ever introduce with an opportunity for it to evolve .
Bolthund has since had a very small coming into court in episode 27 ofPokémon Horizons , where a dyad were catch loaf outside the airship after it land in the Galar region in search of information on the Black Rayquaza . This nonaged cameo really did n’t give Bolthund a luck to shine , however , and it ’s still leave waiting for the day when it might finally get as much attention as its pre - evolved form Yamper .
5Corvisquire is a Forgotten Middle Child
Type: Flying
Corvisquire is the germinate form of Rookidee and the pre - evolved phase of Corviknight . Corviknight hack are a coarse form of Department of Transportation in the Galar area , and Corviknight appeared in that capacity inPokémon Journeys . Corviknight and Rookidee even had an episode where they represent a significant role , " Meeting Up with the Monarch ! " , in whichAsh and Leon encountera distich of Corviknight who are upset over their Rookidee chick being injured .
Corvisquire does show up briefly in the Twilight Wings miniseries , and similarly has a small appearance inPokémon Horizonsepisode 15 , where Roy ’s Wattrel spots one and follow it . The Corvisquire leads him into Levincia city in the Paldea region , where the scoundrel they ’re searching for is hide out . It ’s sure peculiar that Corvisquire was left out while the other member of its evolutionary family appear throughoutJourneys .
4Sneasler is Weirdly Absent
Type: Fighting/Poison
Sneasler is a Pokémon that debut inPokémon Legends Arceus , fairly lately in the anime ’s ladder . Like many of the Pokémon that debut in that plot , it ’s believed to be out in the modern daylight , which explain why Ash never encountered one . However , other Pokémon from that game , such as Wyrdeer and Basculegion , did come along in the special known asThe Arceus Chronicles , albeit as part of a illusion succession . Hisuian Sneasel , from which Sneasler evolves , was likewise left out , although Johtonian Sneasel have been go out in the Zanzibar copal .
InPokémon Legends Arceus , Sneasler is an unbelievably valuable Pokémon playing a fairly large role , as it ’s used to climb up cliff faces in the secret plan . It ’s a bit odd that Sneasler could n’t at least have the phantasy chronological succession appearance that Wyrdeer and Basculegion , its fellow mounts , were afforded . Given it ’s view extinct in the modern day , it ’s pretty improbable to ever have an appearance inPokémon Horizons , either .
3Overqwil Gets Ignored Entirely
Type: Dark/Poison
Like Sneasler , Overqwil first appear inPokémon Legends Arceus , and it evolve from Hisuian Qwilfish . Unlike Sneasler , Overqwil did n’t have an important purpose to play inArceus , which might explain why it feels so forgotten . Since water is already show during the fantasy sequence fromThe Arceus Chronicles , it seems like it would ’ve been well-heeled to include Overqwil alongside Basculegion , yet it was still go out out .
While there exists a Hisui - based miniskirt - serial known as " Hisuian Snow , " even that serial does n’t have Overqwil , not even afford it a cameo . As such , Overqwil ( alongside Sneasler ) isone of the very few Pokémon to have never been animated in any Pokémon series or miniseries , a eminence that fans of the Pokémon are unlikely to enjoy . Given thatOverqwil can be found in the Indigo Disk DLCforScarletandViolet , there ’s a opportunity it could appear in future episodes ofPokémon Horizons , but there ’s no reason to recollect that ’ll be any time presently .
2Ursaluna Has the Best Shot at Appearing
Type: Ground/Normal
Another Hisui Pokémon that first appeared inPokémon Legends Arceus , Ursaluna is the evolve form of Ursaring , and its lower form , Teddiursa . Teddiursa and particularly Ursaring have appeared many times in the anime , but Ursaluna was never present a prospect to seem , being lacking fromThe Arceus Chronicles ' phantasy succession as well . Like Sneasler , Ursaluna had a fairly tumid function inArceusas a mount , which allowed participant to dig and find out of sight items .
Due toUrsaluna playing a significant role inScarletandViolet ’s Teal Mask DLC , Ursaluna probably has the best chance to appear in a succeeding installment ofPokémon Horizons , at least in its " Bloodmoon " form , provided the globe - trotting series ever makes its way to Kitakami . Regular Ursaluna is a moment less potential , as no average member of its mintage are known to have survived to the modern day , and evolution no longer seems to be possible .
1Porygon2 and Porygon-Z May Never Appear in the Anime
Type: Normal
While many of the Pokémon on this list have no clear reason as to why they ’ve never appear , the same ca n’t be said for Porygon2 and Porygon - Z.Porygon itself only appeared once , inthe ill-famed banned installment " Electric Soldier Porygon,“which caused seizures in some children who watched the episode . While Pikachu was in reality responsible for the shoot lights which triggered the seizure , Porygon enchant the blame , and has never seem in the gum anime again .
Unfortunately , aside from a blink - and - you’ll - miss - it cameo in one flick , Kyurem Vs . the Sword of Justice , Porygon2 and Porygon - Z are improbable to ever appear in the gum anime due to this unofficial ban on the full Porygon evolutionary house . As such , Porygon2 and Porygon - Z top the list of Pokémon who ’ve never appear in thePokémonanime , and in this case , probably never will .
