Throughout the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series, there have been several non-Legendary species of which [[UniqueEnemy only one is available to the player]], whether in the wild or through NPC interaction. Notably, some of these species become more common in later generations.

** In ''Yellow'', Pikachu is your starter, and cannot be encountered in the wild.
* In the [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Johto games]], there's exactly one Sudowoodo you can fight. Snorlax is a Unique Enemy again as well, this time with only one instead of two, [[ContinuityNod since Red has the other.]]
* [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Generation III]]:
** Bagon are only found in one room in all of ''Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald'', and Feebas are only found in certain spots in one river. [[GuideDangIt Nowhere is the player told any of this]].
** Chimecho is notable for not appearing ANYWHERE else in the game, aside from a single floor of a tower that the player is unlikely to spend more than a few seconds on.

Likewise, fellow Ultra Beast UB-05 Glutton (a.k.a. Guzzlord) only appears once in the game, despite not being a SingleSpecimenSpecies. It's also worth noting that despite their power, Ultra Beasts aren't officially considered Legendary Pokémon.
