Detective Pikachu has scarily realistic Pokemon (have you SEEN that Mr. Mime?!) and while some of the Pokemon in the movie are obvious from the trailers, what about the Pokemon you may have missed? There's a number of fleeting appearances from various Pokemon in the Detective Pikachu trailers, that only the most avid Pokemon fan with the keenest eye will spot. Check out the first trailer here, then scroll down to see if you caught every Pokemon! Here's every Pokemon confirmed for Detective Pikachu so far, from all the trailers.

Detective Pikachu - Official Trailer #1

Flabébé

The opening scene for the very first trailer has a bunch of Pokemon to seek out. Flabébé is the first, floating in the air above the bustling street.

Comfey

Amongst the Flabébé is a Comfey, just chilling out.

Psyduck

The first Pokemon you see in the next scene is Psyduck, stood next to Lucy.

Presumably during some sort of parade, there's an inflatable Gengar on the left side of the screen.

Jigglypuff (inflatable)

Further towards the back is an inflatable Jigglypuff.

Dragonite & Hypno (poster)

When the protagonist - Tim Goodman - enters his room, Dragonite & Hypno are mentioned for an upcoming battle on a poster.

Pikachu!

The next Pokemon we see is Detective Pikachu, voiced by Ryan Reynolds himself.

Emolga

Next up is the market scene, with three Emolga sat on top of a stall.

Audino

Perusing a market stall is an Audino opposite the Emolga.

Venusaur

When the scene cuts back to the raised view of the market, there's a Venusaur ight next to Audino in the crowd.

On a noticeboard is a "Missing" poster for a Squirtle, last seen outside Oak Apartments.

Pancham (poster)

Next to the Squirtle poster is also a missing Pancham poster.

Bulbasaur

When the shot cuts to the stream, there's eight Bulbasaur trotting through the water. A herd of Bulbasaur, perhaps?

Morelull

Floating around the Bulbsaur is a bunch of Morelull too, like sentient mushrooms.

Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff is seen stood on a table in a bar, trying to wake a man it's sent to sleep by singing.

Machamp & Primeape (poster)

On the wall by Jigglypuff is another poster advertising a fight between Machamp and Primeape.

Charizard

In the first shot of the fighting arena is Charizard, ready to breathe fire.

Greninja

After that, you see three Greninja fly through the air and swipe at the camera.

Squirtle

When it cuts back to the arena, there's a Squirtle watching from behind the barrier.

Rufflet

Watching from the otherside is a Rufflet, next to Pikachu.

Pancham

You get to see a "real" Pancham for a split second when the scene initially cuts to the arena, below Squirtle.

Mr. Mime

Mr. Mime is in the next scene... just look at that face.

Greninja

We next see two Greninja running down a corridor firing some attacks.

Psyduck

Psyduck is shown a few times but this shot absolutely had to be included.

Charizard

As did this one of Charizard about to eat Pikachu whole.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
