For all you know, you might have unwittingly caught a super-rare Pokémon without realising it, too — and to help you with this, Reddit user RotomGuy has created this useful Pokémon Rarity Chart:

All five legendary Pokémon and Ditto are listed as “Not currently available” — they have neither been found nor been caught yet. Currently, the number of Pokémon in the game stands at 145. When these six Pokémon are made available, they will complete the 151 monsters from the original game series.

This means that as far as prevailing wisdom goes, we might not be able to catch them all just yetIn the meantime, we can aspire to be like Nick Johnson.

On August 5, the 28-year-old from New York became the first Pokémon trainer confirmed to have caught all 145 Pokémon currently available in the game. According to this Mashable report, Johnson did an amazing feat of catching all 142 Pokémon available in the US in just two weeks, covering some 152km on foot and hatching 303 eggs.

Two companies, Marriott Rewards and Expedia, who were impressed by his dedication and effort, sponsored a round-the-world trip (!) for Johnson to catch Pokémon not found in North America.

Johnson became the world’s first Pokémon master when he completed his collection of 145 Pokémon in Sydney, capturing a rare Kangaskhan (exclusive to Australia and New Zealand).

For now, at least we know which are the rarest Pokémon that will bring us one step closer to being like Johnson the very best.
