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.
Every entry below links to a full Pokemondex profile — not just base stats and a sprite, but a hand-written biology section, competitive battle guide, evolution chain, and (where they exist) a gallery of that Pokémon's Trading Card Game prints. The three rankings underneath are computed directly from the same stat and species data that power the individual pages, not a hand-picked list — so "Strongest" reflects actual base stat totals, and "Rarest" reflects actual in-game catch-rate values, both recalculated as the database updates rather than fixed at publish time.
Ranked by combined base stats (HP + Attack + Defense + Sp. Atk + Sp. Def + Speed) across every species in the database. For a competitive-tier take rather than a raw stat total, see The 15 Strongest Pokémon of All Time: Competitive Metagame Breakdown.
Ranked by in-game catch rate — the lower the number, the harder that species is to catch outside of a guaranteed encounter or event.
Starters don't reduce to a single stat the way the rankings above do — the right pick depends on which region's gym gauntlet you're facing and how each starter's typing lines up against it. We cover all 27 in All 27 Starter Pokémon Ranked by In-Game Playthrough Dominance.
This is the full National Pokédex — every Pokémon across all nine generations, plus regional variants and alternate forms, each with complete base stats, learnsets, evolution conditions, encounter data and written analysis. The search and filters above are the fastest route in; what follows is context on how the data is organised and where the common confusions lie.
Pokémon are ordered by National Pokédex number, which follows the order of introduction rather than any in-game regional order. Bulbasaur is number 1 because it was first in Red and Blue; a Pokémon introduced in Scarlet and Violet sits near the end regardless of where it appears in Paldea's own regional dex.
Filtering by generation, type or stat range is usually faster than scrolling. Generation filters map to the games each Pokémon debuted in, not the games it is currently obtainable in — a Generation 1 Pokémon may well be catchable in the newest title.
Base stats are the fixed species values that every individual of that species shares. They are not the numbers you see in game, which are the product of base stats, individual values, effort values, level and nature. A Pokémon with a base Speed of 100 will always be faster than one with base Speed 80 at equal level and investment, but a heavily invested 80 will outrun an uninvested 100.
Base stat total is a rough proxy for overall power and a poor one for practical strength. Distribution matters more than the sum: 600 points concentrated in Attack and Speed produces a far more threatening Pokémon than the same 600 spread evenly, and a high stat in the wrong attacking category is close to wasted.
Stats, learnsets, evolution methods and encounter data reflect the current generation. Because Game Freak rebalances between games — base stats have been revised, moves have been removed, and type matchups have changed — a figure here may not match a guide written for an older title. If a number looks wrong, the generation is usually the reason.
Every entry also carries written sections that are not derived from game data at all: biology and physical characteristics, behaviour and habitat, competitive analysis, and name and design origins. These are written for this site, and they are the reason a Pokédex entry here runs to a few thousand words rather than a stat table.
There are over 1,000 distinct Pokémon species across nine generations, and more than 1,350 entries once regional variants, Mega Evolutions and other mechanically distinct forms are counted separately. The exact figure depends on whether you count forms as separate Pokémon.
Base stats are fixed species values shared by every member of a species. The numbers in your game are calculated from those base stats plus individual values, effort values, level and nature, which is why two Pokémon of the same species and level can have noticeably different stats.
Fully evolved Pokémon typically land between 480 and 540. Pseudo-legendaries such as Dragonite and Garchomp sit at 600, and box legendaries generally run from 670 upwards. Distribution matters more than the total — points concentrated in the stats a Pokémon actually uses are worth far more than an even spread.
No. National Pokédex numbers are consistent and are what this site uses. Regional Pokédex numbers differ in every game, so a Pokémon can be number 25 nationally and number 132 in a particular region's own dex.
