Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

It is called the “Mirage Pokémon” because so few have seen it. Its shed skin has been found.

Generation 6
X

It is called the “Mirage Pokémon” because so few have seen it. Its shed skin has been found.

Y

This Pokémon is full of life energy. It continually sheds its skin and grows steadily larger.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

Dratini continually molts and sloughs off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels.

Generation 7
Sun

It grows by molting repeatedly. Boots made from the tanned cast-off skin are a super luxury item.

Moon

After a 10-hour struggle, a fisherman was able to pull one up and confirm its existence.

Ultra Sun

It’s still weak, so it lurks on the floor of bodies of water, eating whatever food sinks down and living a quiet life.

Ultra Moon

It sheds its skin—almost on a daily basis—and grows larger. Its skin is soft just after it’s been shed.
