Name the Odd One Out!

Terapagos is the only one here who transforms mid-battle and the only one who transforms without the aid of an item (you could say that it uses the Tera Orb to transform, but that's only for its transformation from its Terastal Form to its Stellar Form; its transformation from Normal Form to Terastal Form unambiguously does not use an item).
Only Lunala has a evolutionary line
That is true. I had in mind Palkia, since it is the only one not to have a signature Ability.

Emerald
Platinum
HeartGold/SoulSilver
Black 2/White 2
Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire
 
Both Applin and Gimmighoul. However, Gimmighoul gains an additional type.

Prinplup
Dartrix
Ivysaur
Monferno
 
Metagross is the only one that has no quad weaknesses or is dragonic or dinosaur-like.

Pikachu
Pawmo
Minun
Emolga
Pachirisu
 
Cute Charm is the only one not to be possessed by any Pokémon introduced in Scarlet and Violet or its DLC.
ORAS is the only one without some kind of Battle Facility
As pathetically bare-bones as the Battle Maison is, it is still a battle facility.

Emerald
Platinum
HeartGold/SoulSilver
Black 2/White 2
Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire
 
kingambit; to go for other options, one could also say kingambit as it is the only dual-type of the four or totodile as it is the only one that is not part of an evolutionary line that receives a new member in a generation past its introduction.

umbreon
leafeon
vaporeon
espeon

(hint: the intended answer is not vaporeon being introduced in gen 1 or leafeon being introduced in gen 4)
 
Gorebyss is the only monotype, the only split evolution, and the only one to evolve with the assistance of an item.

Black 2 and White 2 are Gen 5 games
Sure, but it's not like B2W2 are the only games here not to be from a particular generation. The only two options here that share a generation at all are Platinum and HGSS, so by that logic Emerald and ΩRαS are also the odd ones out.

HGSS is the only one to have two visitable regions. emerald is the only one not made for a member of the ds family (including the 3ds). platinum is the only one in which the champion did not receive a redesign (even a minor one, such as wallace's) between their previous and current appearance.

skeledirge
meowscarada
quaquaval
 
Mega Pinsir is the only one here who does not have a Pokédex entry stating that it suffers some kind of injury or pain from Mega Evolution.

HGSS is the only one to have two visitable regions. emerald is the only one not made for a member of the ds family (including the 3ds). platinum is the only one in which the champion did not receive a redesign (even a minor one, such as wallace's) between their previous and current appearance.
All very good answers that I didn't even think of. Emerald was the answer I was looking for, because it was the only one not to expand its region's Pokédex. (The Platinum and B2W2 expansions are considerably more drastic than the remake expansions, but those do add several Gen 4 evolutions, such as Yanmega, Lickilicky, and Mamoswine in HGSS and Gallade, Probopass, and Magnezone in ΩRαS.)
