Following Pokémon species with their Dex numbers all the same digit, now I thought about going through ones whose digits are all different - specifically, ones whose digits are one-away (consecutive) from each other in a rising fashion. There's no set name for these numbers - at least, none that I can find - but they may be considered as ones people naturally think of when they think of numbers. The same may not necessarily apply to Pokémon species, but it's still fun to consider ones for which the numbers apply.
Accordingly, the species in question are Scyther (#123), Stantler (#234), Lileep (#345), Finneon (#456), Archeops (#567), Meowstic (#678), Cosmog (#789), Eternatus (#890), and Ursaluna (#901). A little bit of liberty is taken here with regard to zero since that's what happens to the last digits of numbers when they increase; they loop back to that number, so the ones included here are of natural consequence. Also of natural consequence is that if there is ever a species with number #1234, it won't happen for quite some time, which is even more the case compared to the repdigit future case.
Meanwhile, of these species, they could be taken to have "ascending" or "expansive" things about them as well. Scyther and Stantler would have evolutionary forms in Hisui that are their own rightful species, for which Ursaluna is one for Ursaring (not present here); the latter is even more "expansive" as well with an alternate and "bloody" form. Then there's Cosmog that is the expanse of the cosmos in a miniature form, and Eternatus that is just plain expansive no matter how one looks at it. For the others, they might just have more than meets the eye, whether in their next or previous evolutionary stage as applicable.
Even if there may or may not be a definitive name for the numbers in question, the numbers just naturally seem to make themselves evident, and that may be all that is needed to deal with the numbers. Dealing with them in reference to Pokémon species by way of their National Dex numbers is then an expansive step when Pokémon fans are considered, and it turns out there may be some "ascending" or "expansive" ideals with the species of concern. That may just be a matter that a fan has to "rise" upon.
