Which Pokemon can't be obtained in any Switch Pokemon games?

Question

List all the Pokemon that cannot be obtained/transferred into any Pokemon game released for the Nintendo Switch (LGP/E, Sw/Sh, BD/SP, PLA, S/V).

Also assume that you do not transfer any Pokemon from Pokemon Bank (3DS games or earlier) or Pokemon GO into Pokemon HOME, only obtain the Pokemon within the Switch titles (both in-game and events).

Answer 1

Pokemon only obtainable through transferring

Diancie
Hoopa
Magearna (While its Original Color form is obtainable through Pokemon Home as a gift Pokemon, the requirements of obtaining it is to complete the National Dex, which requires the use of Pokemon games outside of the Switch titles)
Melmetal (Similarly to Magearna, Melmetal is a gift Pokemon in Pokemon Home as well. However, it still requires the use of transferring any Pokemon in from Pokemon Go)

Pokemon completely unobtainable in any Switch titles

Note that all of these Pokémon have been confirmed for Legends Z-A

The Patrat line
The Pansage line
The Pansear line
The Panpour line
Furfrou

I don't have a particular source to list, since answering the question involved going back and forth between Serebii's list of unobtainable/transfer only Pokemon for the switch titles, and checking Bulbapedia to see which mythical Pokemon didn't recieve events for the switch titles

That’s fine, +1!

Can https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_availability answer the question by itself? (or at least verify this answer)

Minior is in DLC I think

- While the Alolan Rattata line is obtainable in LGP/E, it is completely unobtainable in any Gen 8/9 titles (you also can't transfer any Pokemon that had originated from Bank, GO Transporter, or has ever been in a Gen 8/9 title into LGP/E)
- While Spinda is obtainable in BD/SP, you can't transfer a Spinda between BD/SP and HOME or vice versa (you also can't transfer a Spinda from GO to HOME or transfer a Spinda that originated from Bank into any Switch titles) https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/417835/why-i-cant-transfer-a-spinda-using-pokemon-home-into-bdsp
