Last pokemon you realized existed
I knew most mons playing another pokemon game, but was astonished when I saw Xatu for the first time because it looked different. It wasn't even gen 4 or 3, it was 2. Which was the last pokemon you found out existed? Not counting new generations that you may not know about

In a similar vein, I don't know if I had ever evolved a Remoraid in any of the console games. If I had ever known its evolution, I had completely forgotten it by the time Gen2 was released in Go. Such a weird change. When looking through the Gen2 pokemon being added, I just assumed at first that Remoraid and Octillery were two stand-alone pokemon.
Early in gen 2 I saw the shadow of a majestic looking bird in my nearby. I hadn't ever seen it before, it looked big, it had to be good, and I couldn't go after it. I was devastated that I had missed my (maybe) only chance at this ultra powerful, ultra rare Pokemon. Later on, I did find a wild Skarmory though. Then I hatched one. And another, and another, and another, and another.......
