A list of every method for obtaining Pokémon?

Question

I'm seeking a comprehensive list detailing every method to befriend a Pokémon across all official games up to Scarlet and Violet. Examples include encountering them in the wild, massive outbreaks, using curry, utilizing Poké Pelago, receiving them as gifts, and engaging in in-game trades...

Has anyone come across such a list? My attempts to find it have been unsuccessful. If it doesn't exist, perhaps we can use this thread to create a compilation.

Thank you in advance!

catch, gift, trade, transfer

For the list, do you just want every method or every Pokemon available with each method?

---

Yes. Every method of obtaining a Pokémon. Not every Pokémon available with each method.

That’ll be a loooooong list….

Trade, Catch, Given like starters, Mystery Box. All I can think of
