Venonat

Venonat's unusual Pokédex history

Bulbapedia notes Venonat and Venomoth went the longest of any Pokémon without appearing in a regional Pokédex outside of remakes, last appearing in Crystal roughly 22 years before returning in Scarlet and Violet.

Venonat on cards

Venonat debuted in Jungle as a Common illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, and Gym Heroes later printed a Sabrina's Venonat illustrated by Ken Sugimori. It has remained a Common card through most of its printings, including Unbroken Bonds with two separate printings and a 151 set printing illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno.
