Full stats, moves and evolution chains for all 1,350+ Pokémon — plus competitive breakdowns, biology and design origins written by someone who has played every generation.
Most Pokémon databases are the same PokéAPI data reformatted with a different colour scheme. Pokemondex is built the other way round: the raw stats are here too, but they sit underneath original analysis from someone who has actually played every generation competitively.
Every Pokémon page carries biology, design-origin and competitive breakdown sections you won't find on a bare stat-lookup site — written, not templated.
Full VGC archetype breakdowns, exact type-chart math, and catch-rate formulas across four guide clusters — every ranking justifies its placement.
Real price data and rarity breakdowns per set, with a running feed of newest cards — most Pokédex sites skip TCG entirely.
Competitive claims are verified against the real mechanic — exact IV counts, exact accuracy values, exact damage thresholds.
The site is built and maintained by Paul Lovell, who has played the core series on every Nintendo platform it has shipped on — Game Boy through Switch — and Pokémon GO since launch. That matters for accuracy in ways a pure data-scrape can't replicate: knowing that Runerigus requires 49 or more damage in a single hit to evolve, or that Dark Void got nerfed to 80% accuracy specifically because of how Smeargle abused it in Ubers, isn't something you pull from an API response.
Base stats, move data and evolution chains are checked against the current generation whenever a new game or balance patch ships. The Pokédex covers every Pokémon released through Generation 9, the Moves database tracks all 937 moves with category, power, accuracy and PP, and the Type Guide goes beyond a static weakness chart into defensive-core and coverage-move strategy.
None of that replaces the fun of just looking something up fast — the Pokédex search is still built for a quick stat check on a specific Pokémon. But if you stick around past that first lookup, the goal is for there to be something worth reading: a ranking you can argue with because it shows its reasoning, or a strategy guide that would hold up against feedback from an actual VGC or Smogon community.

Every Pokémon page includes a full gallery of its Trading Card Game cards across all sets — something the standard Pokédex sites don't offer. Here are the latest releases.
