What are all the in-game NPCs with illegal Pokemon?
Like, moves the Pokemon can’t learn, or abilities the mon doesn’t have, or evolved before the evolution level.
Wondering because in my Oak Platinum, the father&daughter duo above the town with the day care, the dude has a level 24 Rapidash.
How many other examples of this are there, and where?

(Excuse me! I wouldn’t include Rocket grunts or scientists because they tons of underlevelled ‘mons)
Note: The names in bracket are in FrLg
Note:Included Magma Hideout because it would be too less without them. And I would add the Villian’s Pokemons further.
The rest are the same from RS except Clyde and Norman (has lvl 31 slaking only).
(I may have missed some, since I didn’t use Bulbapedia source for SM/USUM/SWSH)
Lance’s Dragonite knows Barrier in Red & Blue, Dragonite couldn’t know this move until Gen-6.
Lance’s Aerodactyl knows Rock Slide in the Gen-2 games, Aerodactyl couldn’t know this move until Gen-3.
In Pokémon Emerald’s Victory Road, Cooltrainer Dianne’s Lanturn knows Earthquake, Lanturn can’t know this move.
On Unova Route 12, School Kid Ann’s Sandy Cloak Wormadam knows the move Leaf Storm, Sandy Cloak cannot know this move, only Plant Cloak can.
In the battle against Totem Wishiwashi at Brooklet Hill, the Totem Pokémon can summon an ally Alomomola which knows Water Gun, Alomomola cannot know this move.
In the Underground Path (Kanto Routes 7-8), Onix Master Jim has an Onix that knows Wrap, Onix cannot know this move.
(In this list, we will look on to those moves learnt at early level, and the previous evolution/s can’t learn this move at all, so it cannot be obtained by Breeding, thus it is illegal.)
Not included Battle Frontier since it is Post-Game.
