 * When Combee was released, for a few days, only the female version was obtainable and the Pokédex entry only had the female switch.
 * The Pokémon obtained before January 2017 had no gender and a random gender was assigned to them. The gender assigned did not activated the corresponding gender switch in the Pokédex, though. The player had to catch another Pokémon with the corresponding gender to activate the switch.
 * Pokémon wearing event-themed pieces of clothes, which are not recorded in Pokédex. For reference go to Events.
 * Spinda with a heart shaped pattern is considered a event-themed form, because it is not recorded in the Pokédex.
