This is a list of Pokémon that are at levels unobtainable to the player that NPC trainers have been seen using, or Pokémon that require external trading to obtain! This doesn't include Pokémon fought in battle facilities!

NPC owned Pokémon at levels unobtainable to the player:

Dragonite: Level 50 (Generations 2-4, evolves at level 55)
Dodrio: Level 28 (Generation 3, lowest obtainable level at 29 from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, evolves at level 31)

Pokémon at unobtainable levels in certain games, but obtainable in others, and are tradable to those games (Lowest possible obtainable level will be shown):
As a general rule for generations 1-3, MOST Pokémon are unobtainable under level 5 due to eggs hatching at said level!

Electrode: Level 3: (Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, obtainable by receiving In-Game trade Electrode in Red, Blue, FireRed, LeafGreen if a level 3 Raichu was traded)(Evolves at level 30)
Skitty/Delcatty: Level 3 (All of Generation 3, obtainable by in-game trade by trading a Level 3 Pikachu for a Level 3 female Skitty (male Skitty/Delcatties are completely unobtainable under level 5!))
Meowth: Level 3: (All of Generation 3, after doing the above, trade that Level 3 Skitty to Pokémon Emerald, and do an in-game trade for a Level 3 male Meowth! (Female Meowth are completely unobtainable under level 5! Whad'ya know!))
Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff: Level 3: (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, obtainable in FireRed/LeafGreen)
Mareep: Level 3 (All of Generation 3, could only be obtained if the Altering Cave event was released, allowing for Level 3 Mareep in FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald! Otherwise, Level 5 is as low as Mareep can go!)
