It's always been a tradition in Pokémon games that some creatures are only available in one of two games – but what are the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen exclusives?

Plenty of these exclusives carried over from the original Red and Blue (or Red and Green, we should say), but with the addition of new creatures from Johto and Hoenn, new exclusives joined that list in Generation 3.

It's a great time to dive back into Kanto, as we wait for more news on Pokemon's 30th anniversary and the elusive Generation 10 games

Of course, you could quite easily complete your Pokédex with the help of some cheats, but where's the fun in that?

So, for a quick overview of all the exclusives in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, let's get into it.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen exclusives: Which Pokémon are only in one game?

Pokémon FireRed has a total of 23 exclusive Pokémon, while LeafGreen has 24 exclusive Pokémon.

With the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen ports to the Nintendo Switch, hopefully it will now be a bit easier to complete that Pokédex, instead of having to trade Pokémon in person all over again.

Here is a full list of the Pokémon exclusive to each game:
