A native Pokemon is a Pokemon that can be found in its region's Local Pokedex. So Pokemon that are able to be found through methods like Swarms and or, are displayed as ??? when obtained without the national dex do not count.

brilliant. Absolutely amazing /s

Blitzle/Zebstrika are only in Unova, I think. Glameow/Purugly are only Sinnoh, and Cherubi/Cherrim are only Sinnoh and Galar. Stantler is only Johto.

Update: With Legends: Arceus out, Stantler can also be found in Hisui. Glameow and Cherubi are in multiple regions if you consider Sinnoh and Hisui as different.

Do you have a source..?

No, I literally checked everyone's pokedex pages. For example:
 https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/stantler

STantler has only 2 local numbers, from GSC and HgSs. And they are Johto games. So they are only native to Johto.

The question said that any methods of obtaining Pokemon exclusively through the post game are excluded.
by
Native means simply included in the national pokedex of the respective regions ig
by
Yeah I was referring to pokemon that can only be found in 1 or 2 regional pokedexes. Sorry for the confusion

once SV comes out I'm gonna redo this list with Husui and Paldea mons dw.
by
@Chao how are you going to redo the list when you asked the question?

You can remove many Pokemon like Sewaddle for instance that are obtainable in the main story of the game but are not in the regional dex. If you would like me to do this I can

Iirc, you can answer your own question. For stuff like island scan, or for Pokemon that are in the regional dex, but are only available after receiving the national dex (The Gen V games do that lmao) I'll directly mention those examples on their own. Might as well start now anyways lol, Hisui really brought back a lot of old Pokemon for some reason.
