Type(s) Evolves from Evolves into Notes
English Japanese Primary Secondary
Bulbasaur Fushigidane (フシギダネ) 0001 Grass Poison Beginning of evolution Ivysaur (#002) It uses the nutrients that are stored in the seed on its back in order to grow. The reception of Bulbasaur has been largely positive and it often appears in "top Pokémon lists".[3][4] Its English name is a portmanteau of "bulb" and "dinosaur".[5]
Ivysaur Fushigisō (フシギソウ) 0002 Grass Poison Bulbasaur (#001) Venusaur (#003) When it is exposed to sunlight, the seed, now a bud, grows so much that it apparently loses the ability to stand on its hind legs. It grows by drawing in energy and when a wafting scent fills the area and it spends more time in the sun, it is ready to evolve. To support this weight, its legs grow thicker in size and strength. Once evolved, the seed grown flower on Ivysaur's back will bloom into a giant flower. Ivysaur is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a part of the "Pokémon Trainer" fighter. Its English name is a portmanteau of "ivy" and "dinosaur".[6]
Venusaur Fushigibana (フシギバナ) 0003 Grass Poison Ivysaur (#002) Mega Evolution
Gigantamax
Its English name is a portmanteau of "Venus" (relating to the Venus flytrap) and "dinosaur". It is based on the Pareiasaur. It is the mascot of Pokémon Green and LeafGreen.[7] It's always on the move to seek sunlight so it can absorb it for energy. When it does this, it tends to lay still. The aroma from the flower it now has on its back can soothe and calm people down. It's said that if a Venusaur gets enough sunlight, its flower will take on vivid coloration. As a result, it is way more powerful in the summer time. After a rainy day, its flower will smell stronger. The scent attracts other Pokémon.
Charmander Hitokage (ヒトカゲ) 0004 Fire Beginning of evolution Charmeleon (#005) Charmander is a bipedal, lizard-like Pokémon with a flame at the tip of its tail. Its English name is a portmanteau of "char" and "salamander". Preferring hot places, there is a flame at the tip of is tail. Even newborns have a flame, though, unfamiliar with fire, they sometimes accidentally burn themselves. When it rains, you can see smoke coming from it, and it makes a sound too, though you'll have to be in a quiet place to hear it. The flame determines its vitality and emotions, the brighter it is, the healthier it is. Similarly when the flame is wavering, it is happy and when blazing, it is angry. If its flame were to ever go out, it would die.
Charmeleon Rizādo (リザード) 0005 Fire Charmander (#004) Charizard (#006) Charmeleon is similar to Charmander, yet larger. Its English name is a portmanteau of "char" and "chameleon".[8] It's a very feisty Pokémon, and fights can excite it, causing bluish white flames to spew. It swings its tail around causing unbearable temperatures. It also uses its razor sharp claws to attack as well. It constantly seeks tough opponents and it calms down only when it wins. In rocky mountains where they live, the night sky looks like stars due to their fiery tails.
Charizard Rizādon (リザードン) 0006 Fire Flying Charmeleon (#005) Two Mega Evolutions
Gigantamax
It is a playable character as a part of the "Pokémon Trainer" fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as well as a standalone fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It is also the mascot of Pokémon Red and FireRed. Its fire is hot enough to melt boulders, and it has been known to start forest fires accidentally. When breathing fire which reaches great temperatures, it inflicts terrible pain on its foes, and the flame at the end of its tail burns more fiercely, though it will never use its fiery breath on foes weaker than itself. It will quickly melt glaciers weighing more than 10,000 tons. If it becomes furious, its flames become bluish-white, and its wings can let it soar up to 4,600 feet as it flies in search of stronger opponents. It's said that it fire burns hotter if it has experienced harsher battles. It gains the Dragon type upon Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X. Its English name is a portmanteau of "char" and "lizard".
Squirtle Zenigame (ゼニガメ) 0007 Water Beginning of evolution Wartortle (#008) It is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a part of the "Pokémon Trainer" fighter. Its English name is a portmanteau of "squirt" and "turtle". It is one of the Kanto starter Pokémon.[9] When born, its back swells into a shell which after some time will become resilient, and it takes time for the shell to harden. When it feels threatened, it tucks in its limbs and hides in its shell. Squirtle's shell is not merely used for protection as the shell's rounded shape and the grooves on its surface help minimize water resistance, enabling this Pokémon to swim at high speeds. It can spray a powerful foam from its mouth by retracting its long neck and vigorously shooting water out.
Wartortle Kamēru (カメール) 0008 Water Squirtle (#007) Blastoise (#009) Its English name is a portmanteau of "wart", "tortoise", and "turtle". It's very common to have as a pet. It often hides underwater to stalk its prey, and when it is swimming really fast, it moves its fluffy ears to help it keep its balance. When tapped, it will pull in its head, but its tail will still stick out a little bit. The tail is covered with a rich fur, and as it ages, the fur will begin to darken in color. It stores air in the fur before taking extended dives underwater. It's popular with elders because of its furry tail being known as a symbol of longevity, as it is said to live for 1,000 years. A shell covered in algae and scratches is proof of a Wartortle's age and fighting prowess. Wartortle was originally intended to have an entirely different final evolution that shared a closer design.
Blastoise Kamekkusu (カメックス) 0009 Water Wartortle (#008) Mega Evolution[10][11][12]
Gigantamax
Its English name is a portmanteau of "blast" and "tortoise". It is the mascot of Pokémon Blue.[13] In early stages of Red and Green's development, Blastoise was originally separate from the Squirtle line and was called "Caravaggio". A Blastoise trading card, which was originally made as a test print before the commercial English cards, was sold for $360,000 in 2021.[14] The 2 cannons on its shell shoot out pressurized jets of water, able to shatter concrete and thick walls of steel with more force than a fire hose and they can be used in high speed tackles. This brutal Pokémon deliberately makes itself heavy so it can withstand the recoil of the water jets it fires. The water spouts are very accurate as they can shoot bullets of water with enough accuracy to strike empty cans from a distance of over 160 feet. It crushes its foe under its heavy body to cause fainting, and in a pinch, it will withdraw inside its shell.
Caterpie Kyatapī (キャタピー) 0010 Bug Beginning of evolution Metapod (#011) Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls. To protect itself from bird-like Pokémon, it will release a horrible stench from the antennae on its head if anything touches it and it has large eye-like patterns on its body used to scare away predators. It crawls into foliage where it camouflages itself among leaves that are the same color as its body. Because it possibly wants to grow up quicker, Caterpie has a voracious appetite. It can devour hundreds of leaves bigger than its body. It is covered with a green skin, and when it grows, it sheds the skin, covers itself with silk, and becomes a cocoon. It's easy to catch, and grows quickly, making it one of the top recommendations for novice Pokémon Trainers. Its body is soft and weak, and due to this, in nature, its perpetual fate is to be seen by others as food. Its appearance is based on the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.
Metapod Toranseru (トランセル) 0011 Bug Caterpie (#010) Butterfree (#012) The outer shell of Metapod is extremely hard, but the insides are soft due to the changes that it is undergoing. It may not move for more than two weeks. Ume Aoki, a Japanese cartoonist who is famous for her work on the manga Hidamari Sketch and the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, utilizes a likeness of herself cosplaying as a Metapod in her drawn works.[15]
Butterfree Batafurī (バタフリー) 0012 Bug Flying Metapod (#011) Gigantamax It rubs honey onto the hairs on its legs to carry it back to its nest. In battle, it flaps its wings at great speed to release spores and powders onto opponents.

Weedle Bīdoru (ビードル) 0013 Bug Poison Beginning of evolution Kakuna (#014) Its stinger is poisonous. While it does not like to fight, Weedle can protect itself, if only for a short while.
Kakuna Kokūn (コクーン) 0014 Bug Poison Weedle (#013) Beedrill (#015) Similar to Metapod, its shell is extremely hard, but the insides are soft due to its metamorphosis. Kakuna also doesn't move as much.

Pidgeotto Pijon (ピジョン) 0017 Normal Flying Pidgey (#016) Pidgeot (#018) Pidgeotto was the second Pokémon that Ash Ketchum caught on his journey in the anime. It constantly flies around its large territory in search of prey and often squabbles with other Pidgeotto over territory.
Pidgeot Pijotto (ピジョット) 0018 Normal Flying Pidgeotto (#017) Mega Evolution Most trainers choose Pidgeot as their Pokémon due to their striking, beautiful feathers. Pidgeot tend to be very large in size. Its highly decorated plumage is used to intimidate enemies. It races through the skies at Mach-2 speed.
Rattata Koratta (コラッタ) 0019 Normal Beginning of evolution Raticate (#020) Its teeth grow long over time, so it has to gnaw on logs, houses, telephone poles, and more, so it is often seen as a pest. Rattata has an Alolan form that is Dark/Normal-type.
Raticate Ratta (ラッタ) 0020 Normal Rattata (#019) End of evolution Raticate commands groups of Rattata to gather food. Like Rattata, it has to whittle its teeth down, but as its teeth are much stronger, it requires harder objects such as steel and rocks.

Fearow Onidoriru (オニドリル) 0022 Normal Flying Spearow (#021) End of evolution Fearow is a lanky and awkward bird. Its English name is a portmanteau of "fear" and "sparrow". Fearow are large birds that can fly at extremely high altitudes for long periods of time.

Gigantamax
Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, as well as Pokémon Yellow and Let's Go, Pikachu!. It is also playable in every Super Smash Bros. game. Its Gigantamax form resembles its sprite from Red and Blue with a glowing, whitish tail. Pikachu raises its tail to check its surroundings and it might get struck by lightning in this pose. When groups gather and do this, the lightning shock would be very dangerous to be around. For this reason, the forests they inhabit away from cities are very dangerous to be in. Pikachu are adept at storing electricity and will discharge it at foes, recharge when sleeping. Pikachu with the stretchiest and softest cheeks are more powerful, but when their tail is yanked, they'll try and bite you. It'll intelligently roast berries to cook and eat them, and occasionally shock a fellow Pikachu that's a weakened state. A plan was recently announced to gather up many Pikachu and make an electric power plant. When Pikachu meet, they'll touch their tails together and exchange electricity through them as a form of greeting. If it gives off crackling power from the electric sacs on its cheeks, it is being wary.
Raichu Raichū (ライチュウ) 0026 Electric Pikachu (#025) End of evolution Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from electrocuting itself. That's why you'll see black patches near its nest. If enough electricity is built inside it, its muscles are stimulated, its ears will perk up, it becomes feisty and glows in the dark. Some say building up electricity stresses it out. If its cheek pouches are empty, it'll raise its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere. Its discharges reach 100,000 volts. Careless touching can cause an elephant to faint.

It's forceful and spirited in battle, making use of its thick tail and diamond-crushing horn. One swing of its tail can snap a telephone pole as if it were a matchstick. Nidoking's thick tail packs enormously destructive power. With one swing, it can topple a metal transmission tower and once it goes on a rampage, there is no stopping it. It swings its big tail around during battle, but if its foe flinches, it will charge with its sturdy body. But in the presence of a Nidoqueen it has lived with for a long time, Nidoking calms down.

Even when it is sleeping, which it does most of its life, it can sense danger with its highly potent Psychic power. When it is in danger, it will teleport to safety. Abra's teleportation is usually faster than the player's Pokémon, requiring a higher Speed stat in order to disable it before it teleports.
Kadabra Yungerā (ユンゲラー) 0064 Psychic Abra (#063) Alakazam (#065) Kadabra has been the source of various controversies. The symbols on its body have been associated to those used by Nazi Germany's Waffen-SS. Furthermore, in November 2000, Israeli magician Uri Gellar sued Nintendo, claiming Kadabra embodies an unauthorized appropriation of his identity.[25][26][27] However, in 2020, he released a claim that Nintendo could use Kadabra again.
Alakazam Fūdin (フーディン) 0065 Psychic Kadabra (#064) Mega Evolution Due to its brain drastically growing, causing its head to be too heavy, it actually uses its psychic power to hold its head up. Its 5000 IQ makes it a very intelligent Pokémon. It can affect nearby technology using its brainwaves. Kadabra and Alakazam were the direct counters to the Gastly line since they were dual types with Poison-type, and thus weak to psychic-type moves. Throughout the series, the Abra and Gastly lines were considered rivals.
Machop Wanrikī (ワンリキー) 0066 Fighting Beginning of evolution Machoke (#067) Machop's muscles never get sore. It can hurl around 100 adult humans before it gets tired.
Machoke Gōrikī (ゴーリキー) 0067 Fighting Machop(#066) Machamp (#068) Machoke is typically used for heavy lifting jobs due to its strength. Its appearance is similar to a WWE-style wrestler, with what appears to be exercise shorts.

Victreebel Utsubotto (ウツボット) 0071 Grass Poison Weepinbell (#070) End of evolution It was the last Generation I Pokémon to be created. All of Bellsprout's evolutions are based on various fly-catcher plants, with Victreebel the closest-looking one. Team Rocket's James has a Victreebel that has a habit of chewing on him.
Tentacool Menokurage (メノクラゲ) 0072 Water Poison Beginning of evolution Tentacruel (#073) If Tentacool isn't in the water, it will shrivel up because it is mostly water. Tentacool is a jellyfish-esque Pokémon, which later on in the franchise, is said to be fluid-filled. This fluid is toxic and damages opponents who use HP draining attacks instead of healing them.
Tentacruel Dokukurage (ドククラゲ) 0073 Water Poison Tentacool (#072) End of evolution Tentacruel is a large, multi-tentacled jellyfish Pokémon that has two claws or beaks and two large, red jewels on its head.

Graveler Gorōn (ゴローン) 0075 Rock Ground Geodude (#074) Golem (#076) Graveler has an Alolan form that is Rock/Electric-type. It appears as a large rock that has two large arms and two small arms. This appearance suggests that the smaller arms are the old Geodude arms and the new ones emerged as it grew larger.
Golem Gorōnya (ゴローニャ) 0076 Rock Ground Graveler (#075) End of evolution Golem is known for rolling down from mountains. To prevent them from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves have been dug into the sides of mountains to serve as guideways for diverting this Pokémon's course. Golem has an Alolan form that is Rock/Electric-type. It appears as a large boulder that has a head, arms, and legs. It can roll up into a perfectly round rock. Its Alolan form is magnetic and has a rock cannon on its shoulders.

Rapidash Gyaroppu (ギャロップ) 0078 Fire Ponyta (#077) End of evolution As a popular Pokémon, Rapidash is considered "universally appealing" to fans of cute and cool Pokémon alike. Both Ponyta and Rapidash can enable their body's flames to be harmful or harmless as seen in the anime.[28][29][30][31] Its Galarian form is Psychic/Fairy-type, and is pinkish purple in color instead. It just loves to run. It can't help itself when it see a car or anything fast. A very competitive Pokémon, if it sees anything faster than it, it will go full speed in 10 steps to outrun it at 150mph. At that point, its hooves barely touch the ground because it is moving so fast, it can traverse all of Hisui in a day and a half. The faster it goes, the longer its fiery mane becomes. Otherwise it can be seen cantering in fields.
Slowpoke Yadon (ヤドン) 0079 Water Psychic Beginning of evolution Slowbro (#080)
Slowking (#199)
It's really slow-witted, oblivious and likes to loll about. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when attacked. Slowpoke uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river. However, this Pokémon often forgets what it is doing and often spends entire days just loafing at water's edge. Even if its tail is bitten off, it won't feel it or notice. Although not nutritious, its tail is pleasant to chew on. When soaked in water, a sweet sap leaks from the tip of its tail. It can be added to stews for a nice flavor. Alolan homes often cook by simmering dried Slowpoke tails into a salty stew. Its tail naturally falls off, but regenerates quickly. There are some places where it is worshiped because of a long standing belief that when a Slowpoke yawns, it rains. Its Galarian form is a Psychic-type. Trading Slowpoke while it holds a King's Rock evolves it into Slowking.
Slowbro Yadoran (ヤドラン) 0080 Water Psychic Slowpoke (#079) Mega Evolution Slowpoke has fished up a Shellder with its tail, which shocked it into evolving and made it stand on two legs. The Shellder apparently likes the taste of its tail so much it feels like it a dream, and now refuses to let go, which has metamorphosed into a spiral shaped shell. If the Shellder were to detach itself from Slowbro in any way, it will devolve back to Slowpoke. The Shellder is said to feed off of Slowbro's leftover scraps as it lives lazily by the sea. Being slow witted to begin with, it doesn't feel anything because of Shellder's seeping poison. Since its tail has been bitten by Shellder, it now has to grudgingly swim for prey instead. Whenever Shellder bites down on its tail, it gives Slowbro a flash of inspiration, which it forgets a moment later. Its Galarian form is a Poison/Psychic-type. In the Gold and Silver demo, the Shellder was its own Pokémon, named Turban, before it was scrapped.
Magnemite Koiru (コイル) 0081 Electric Steel[nb 4] Beginning of evolution Magneton (#082) It was a pure Electric-type in Kanto, but had the Steel type added in Gold and Silver. It tends to appear without warning and uses anti gravity to float around. The two units on its side are like magnets and used for discharging attacks. It's attracted to electromagnetic waves from devices such as using the Pokégear, and it attaches itself to power breakers. If you experience a power outage that isn't from a storm, it could be Magnemite feeding on it. It becomes incapable of flight if it out of electricity. When that happens, giving it a battery should help it out. The two magnets on its side are powerful enough to draw in iron objects from 300 feet away. The faster they rotate, the greater the magnetic field it generates. Touching it while it is eating electricity will give you a full body shock. Radio towers and power plants are great sources of food for them. The reason why the numbers have been decreasing is because most power lines are buried these days.
Magneton Reakoiru (レアコイル) 0082 Electric Steel[nb 4] Magnemite (#081) Magnezone (#462) Formed when several Magnemite fuse together, it tends to raise the temperature up by 3.6°F within 3,600 ft. It generates strange radio signals and they tend to gather where sun flares happen. Earaches can occur if you get close to one. Its magnetism is so powerful it dries up moisture in its vicinity, and it is fatal to devices if it were to go near one as devices like TVs will stop playing correctly. When many Magneton gather, it disrupts radio signals. As a result, large cities have sirens to warn their citizens of this occurrence and some even warn people to keep it inside their Pokéballs. When it evolves, their brains link up too, though they don't become three times smarter. When rain clouds form, they like to gather in high spots where lightning could strike. Sandy Shocks appears to be an ancient relative of it. It evolves into Magnezone while in range of a special magnetic field or a Thunder Stone in later games.
Farfetch'd Kamonegi (カモネギ) 0083 Normal Flying No evolution[nb 5] Farfetch'd is a duck-like Pokémon that carries around a green onion stalk much like a sword. It apparently knows where the best ones are and will battle over them. It will eat them in emergencies, and then run off to find a new one. They were so rare at one point that people bred them to regrow the population, and it worked. There are good stalks and bad stalks, and since it can't live without them, it will defend it with its life. It was originally called "Okupan" in early development and was intended to have an evolution named "Madame" in Generation II's early development. Its Galarian form is a Fighting-type, appears to resemble a feudal Japan-style samurai or ronin, and uses a larger onion-stalk. In Pokémon Go, it is exclusive to certain regions of Asia.
Doduo Dōdō (ドードー) 0084 Normal Flying Beginning of evolution Dodrio (#085) It leaves giant footprints. Its short wings make flying difficult. Instead, it runs at high speed on well-developed legs at over 60 mph. It races through grassy plains with powerful strides, leaving footprints up to four inches deep. By alternately raising and lowering its two heads, it balances itself to be more stable while running. Doduo's two heads never sleep or eat at the same time. Its two heads take turns to sleep or eat, so one head can always keep watch for enemies while the other one sleeps. Doduo's two heads contain completely identical brains. A scientific study reported that on rare occasions, there will be examples of Doduo possessing different sets of brains. The brains in its two heads appear to communicate emotions to each other with telepathic power. It was originally intended to have a pre-evolution in Generation II. It appears to resemble a two-headed ostrich or emu, mixed with a roadrunner.
Dodrio Dōdorio (ドードリオ) 0085 Normal Flying Doduo (#084) End of evolution The three heads express joy, sorrow, and anger as they plan strategy together. When it sleeps, one head remains awake.

It has a thick hide covered in warm fur. It even goes in waters that can be up to -40°F. Though it is not a great walker, it is a skilled swimmer. It closes its nostrils when it swims and in the daytime, it can be found sleeping on the seabed of shallow waters. Therefore, them being in Alola is quite a mystery. Its design is based on the real-life seal.
Dewgong Jugon (ジュゴン) 0087 Water Ice Seel (#086) End of evolution A fisherman once saw a Dewgong on an iceberg and thought it was a mermaid. Its design is based on the real-life dugong.
Grimer Betobetā (ベトベター) 0088 Poison Beginning of evolution Muk (#089) It eats sewer waste for food. Its body is very slippery, so it can slip through almost any opening. It was one of the earliest Pokémon to be created, and was originally supposed to have a pre-evolution, "Betobebi", in Generation II. Grimer has an Alolan form that is Poison/Dark-type. It appears as a purple sludge, while its Alolan form is multiple colours.
Muk Betobeton (ベトベトン) 0089 Poison Grimer (#088) End of evolution Muk's English name comes from the word "muck". It could be based on Dorotabō, a one-eyed, three-fingered yōkai that rises from the mud of neglected, overgrown rice fields. It's covered in a toxic filthy sludge that is so vile, that plants die wherever it walks due to there being poison it is footprints. Just a drop of its body fluid can turn a pool rancid or leave a person bed ridden for days from poisoning. Its nose has devolved, so it can't really smell anything. It feeds on anything repugnant and filthy, like sewer water. It prefers warm and humid environments. Its numbers have started declining since people have begun cleaning up towns, and because some people think it may go extinct, sludge pools are being built to prevent this. Muk has an Alolan form that is Poison/Dark-type. Like Grimer, Alolan Muk has multiple colours, and now bears razor-sharp poisonous crystal-esque teeth.
Shellder Sherudā (シェルダー) 0090 Water Beginning of evolution Cloyster (#091) When it sleeps, it will still stick its tongue out. It appears as a typical clam or bivalve with a long, pink tongue.

Gigantamax Form

Gengar is a Ghost-type Pokémon that seeps into the shadows of people and Pokémon to scare them for fun. The Leer in the darkness belongs to a Gengar. If you feel an attacking sudden chill of 10°F cooler, it is trying to curse you. If it does this, there's no escape. Give up. Even your home isn't safe. Gengar will lurk in whatever dark corner of a room it can find and wait for its chance to catch its prey. It likes to attack people in the mountains. Sometimes, on a dark night, your shadow thrown by a streetlight will suddenly and startlingly overtake you. It's actually a Gengar running past you, pretending to be your shadow. It often tries to steal the life force of people. It apparently wishes for a traveling companion. Since it was once human itself, it tries to create one by taking the lives of other humans. If your shadow begins to laugh, you must take hold of a protective charm immediately. Initially created by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori,[32][33] it has become one of the most popular Pokémon, placing tenth on the Google Pokémon of the Year 2020 poll.[34] Kotaku's Zack Zwiezen said Gengar was "one of [their] favorite gen 1 designs", calling it a "great design [because] it's simple, yet not boring or generic".[35] Gengar has appeared in many Pokémon spin-offs or crossovers, including Pokkén Tournament[36] and Pokémon Unite.[37]
Onix Iwāku (イワーク) 0095 Rock Ground Beginning of evolution Steelix (#208) Onix is a large rock snake with a spike on its head. It usually lives underground. As it grows, the stone portions of its body harden to become similar to a diamond, but colored black. It burrows at high speed in search of food, and the tunnels it leaves are used as homes by Diglett. Its large body is over 26 feet long, yet despite its size, it can squirm its way through the ground at 50 mph. The thunderous roar of its tunneling echoes a long way. As it digs through the ground, it absorbs many hard objects and this is what makes its body so solid. It even eats boulders while digging. Onix has a magnet in its brain. It acts as a compass so that this Pokémon does not lose direction while it is tunneling. As it grows older, its body becomes increasingly rounder and smoother. It evolves into Steelix when traded while holding a Metal Coat.[1][38][39][40]
Drowzee Surīpu (スリープ) 0096 Psychic Beginning of evolution Hypno (#097) Drowzee's design is based on the dream-eating tapir, Baku. It puts people to sleep and eats their dreams. It can get sick from eating bad ones though. If you sleep by it a lot, it might show you dreams it ate in the past. It's said to have descended from a legendary beast called Baku. If you had a dream but can't remember it, Drowzee probably ate it. It remembers every dream it ate and it rarely eats the dreams of adults because children's are so much tastier. If your nose gets itchy while you're sleeping, Drowzee is probably right above your bed eating your dream through your nostrils. It's skilled in hypnotism. It can tell what you're dreaming by smelling it. Drowzee appears as a half-yellow-half-brown Pokémon that stands on two legs, and its size varies. In later generations, it is given the Insomnia trait, making it immune to Sleep status inflicting moves.
Hypno Surīpā (スリーパー) 0097 Psychic Drowzee (#096) End of evolution Hypno's design is based on the dream-eating tapir, Baku and a hypnotist. It polishes its pendulum to more effectively put people to sleep. There is a myth within the franchise that Hypno preys on human children. This has led to Hypno becoming the subject of creepypastas. Hypno is purely yellow with a white fluffy collar mane.
Krabby Kurabu (クラブ) 0098 Water Beginning of evolution Kingler (#099) As its name states, it is a crab Pokémon that is half white/tan and half orange. In the anime, it doesn't speak its name like other Pokémon and instead makes a unique noise.
Kingler Kingurā (キングラー) 0099 Water Krabby (#098) Gigantamax Because its pincer is so heavy, it has a hard time fighting. When it does hit, it is very powerful. It shares a similarity to real life fiddler crabs. Its Gigantamax form is bigger with a beard made of bubbles. It also uses acid bubbles to dissolve its prey or foes.
Voltorb Biriridama (ビリリダマ) 0100 Electric Beginning of evolution Electrode (#101) Voltorb and Electrode are considered some of the least popular Pokémon due to their Pokéball-esque designs. Even the slightest bit of electricity can make an Electrode explode. That is why it is nicknamed the "Bomb Ball". In the video games, Voltorb and Electrode are typically used as landmine traps by villains. They have Hisuian forms that are Electric/Grass-type. This Voltorb evolves by Leaf Stone.

Exeggutor Nasshī (ナッシー) 0103 Grass Psychic Exeggcute (#102) End of evolution It is a coconut tree-esque Pokémon based on the Jinmenju and the favorite Pokémon of Tsunekazu Ishihara, president and CEO of The Pokémon Company, having used it throughout the debugging phase of Pokémon Red and Green. Its 3 heads think independently of one another, but if they want to go in different directions, they'll be unable to move. That's why they use telepathy to make a joint decision. Sometimes one of the heads grows so big due to the sun, that it falls off and becomes an Exeggcute. Its cries are very noisy because each head thinks about what it likes. Surprisingly, they're very friendly and only engage their enemies with psychic power when it needs to. It originally came from the tropics, so it is known as the "Walking Forest" and each head doesn't seem to be interested in one another. Cloudy days make it sluggish. Exeggutor has an Alolan form that is Grass/Dragon-type and has a much longer trunk-esque neck.
Cubone Karakara (カラカラ) 0104 Ground Beginning of evolution Marowak (#105) Because it never removes its skull helmet, no one has ever seen this Pokémon's real face. It wears the skull of its deceased mother that it lost. If it is sad or lonely, its skull shakes and its cries echo inside the skull and come out as a sad melody. It cries mournfully in the moonlight. Cubone pines for the mother it will never see again. Seeing a likeness of its mother in the full moon, it cries. The stains on the skull the Pokémon wears are made by the tears it sheds. When it thinks of its deceased mother, it weeps loudly. Mandibuzz, its natural enemy, that hear its cries will attack it from the air. According to some, it will evolve when it comes to terms with the pain of her death. Sometimes Cubone's dreams make it cry, but each tear Cubone sheds makes it stronger. .
Marowak Garagara (ガラガラ) 0105 Ground Cubone (#104) End of evolution Marowak appears as an older Cubone with the skull becoming the head. It wields a bone that it uses as a boomerang, and is thus the only Pokémon that can use Bonemerang.

Hitmonlee Sawamurā (サワムラー) 0106 Fighting Tyrogue (#236) End of evolution Hitmonlee's design is based on Headless men, from Greco-Roman mythology. It may also be based on Kabandha, a demon from Hindu mythology. Its English name is derived from actor and martial artist Bruce Lee. When it is in a hurry, its legs strengthen progressively. It smoothly runs with extra long strides. When kicking, the soles of its feet turn as hard as diamond as its legs freely stretch to destroy its foes. It has amazing balance, able to attack from any stance. Some people call it the "Kicking Master." After a battle, it rubs down its springy legs to overcome fatigue. Its legs can stretch to double its length, so first time fighters are amazed by its extendable reach. Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan didn't have a distinct evolutionary line until Tyrogue and Hitmontop were conceived. Hitmonlee evolves from Tyrogue if it has higher attack stats.
Hitmonchan Ebiwarā (エビワラー) 0107 Fighting Tyrogue (#236) End of evolution Its English name is derived from actor and martial artist Jackie Chan. It can punch so fast, while one might think it is just standing there, it actually can punch foes in lightning fast attacks that can slice air, faster than the eye can see. Though it needs to rest for a couple minutes after doing so as it moves around. It winds it arms to punch harder and it does it punches in a corkscrew fashion, hard enough to break through concrete walls like a drill. Even a slight graze can cause a burn. A Hitmonchan is said to possess the spirit of a boxer who had been working towards a world championship. It has an indomitable spirit and will never give up when things get tough. It evolves from Tyrogue if it has higher defence stats.
Lickitung Beroringa (ベロリンガ) 0108 Normal Beginning of evolution Lickilicky (#463) Instead of its hands, it uses its adept long tongue. It uses its tongue to paralyze bug Pokémon to eat them whole. If it licks you, it will leave a tingling sensation. If you don't wash it off immediately, it will break out into an itchy rash that won't go away. Its tongue can stretch up to 6'6 and when it does, its tail quivers and contracts. It has nerves that run through its tongue so it can use it quite freely. It licks filthy things clean but whatever it clean always stinks afterwards so it is really questionable whether or not it is truly clean. Whenever Lickitung cones across something new, it always gives it a lick to memorize the taste and texture of that thing. It doesn't care for sour things. If you boil its viscous saliva down, it becomes quite a strong adhesive. It evolves into Lickilicky while knowing Rollout.
Koffing Dogāsu (ドガース) 0109 Poison Beginning of evolution Weezing (#110) Koffing is based on air pollution and meteorites. Sometimes, it can over-inflate itself and explode.

Horsea Tattsū (タッツー) 0116 Water Beginning of evolution Seadra (#117) Horsea and Seadra are based on seahorses.[42] In the occurrence of a big wave, Horsea will curl its tail around tough coral branches to help it not to be washed away. Horsea evolves into Seadra, which appears as a slightly bigger version of it. The spikes on its body are poisonous. It evolves into Kingdra when traded while it holds a Dragon Scale. Seadra is a clever Pokémon that's capable of swimming backwards by rapidly flapping its wing-like pectoral fins and stout tail. Touching the back fin causes numbness, and it hooks its tail to coral to stay in place while sleeping. Fainting may result from a jab of its sharp spikes. When an examination of its cells revealed the presence of a gene not found in Horsea, it immediately became a hot topic. Its fin tips leak poison, and its fins and bones are highly valued as ingredients in herbal medicine. Seadra sleeps after wriggling itself between the branches of coral and those trying to harvest coral are occasionally stung by this Pokémon's poison barbs if they fail to notice it. Seadra generates whirlpools by spinning its body, and the whirlpools are strong enough to swallow even fishing boats. It weakens prey with these currents, then swallows it whole, and while Seadra's mouth is slender, its suction power is strong. In an instant, it can suck in food that's larger than the opening of its mouth. The males raise the offspring. While Seadra are raising young Horsea, the spines on their backs secrete thicker and stronger poison.

Mr. Mime is known for creating invisible barriers. Despite being found in both male and female genders, the name never changes. Mr. Mime are exclusive to Europe in Pokémon Go.
Scyther Sutoraiku (ストライク) 0123 Bug Flying Beginning of evolution Scizor (#212)
Kleavor (#901)
IGN and GamesRadar have praised Scyther's "cool" design.[45][46][47] Scyther is known as a Mantis Pokémon, and with its ninja-like movements, it can appear like there's more than one at a time. It can slice thick logs with a single wicked stroke and on rare occasions, it flies with its wings. It's very proud of its speed, it is so fast that when it cuts grass, foes will only see a blur, and it doesn't help that it camouflages with the grass, too. It's very popular in Alola. While young, they live together deep in the mountains, training themselves in how to fight with their scythes and move at high speeds. It evolves into Scizor after being traded while holding a Metal Coat. When given the Black Augurite, it evolves into Kleavor.
Jynx Rūjura (ルージュラ) 0124 Ice Psychic Smoochum (#238) End of evolution Jynx has spawned controversy due to aspects of its design being similar to blackface, leading Game Freak to change the color of its skin from black to purple.[48][49][50][51][52] When Pokémon Yellow was rereleased on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, the in-game sprite of Jynx was edited to reflect this change.[52] Jynx's appearance is a purple humanoid with blond hair and a dress. It has big lips that it uses to put opponents to sleep by kissing them. It evolves from Smoochum.

Magmar Būbā (ブーバー) 0126 Fire Magby (#240) Magmortar (#467) While Magmar was voted the eighth best fire-type Pokémon by the Official Nintendo Magazine readers,[53] GamesRadar had criticised its design multiple times, noting that its forehead resembles a butt.[54][55] Magmar evolves from Magby and into Magmortar. It is famed for being the first Pokémon to use Fire Punch, and is one of gym leader Blaine's best Pokémon.
Pinsir Kairosu (カイロス) 0127 Bug Beginning of evolution Mega Evolution It likes to throw things with its massive horns. It can throw things two times from its weight. It was originally supposed to have an evolution called "Plux" in Generation II. Some speculated this unused design was reworked into Heracross. Pinsir appears as a tan-brown bug, similar in appearance to an earwig with its pinchers on its head, and a vertical slit like mouth. Its Mega Evolution has wings.
Tauros Kentarosu (ケンタロス) 0128 Normal No evolution When attacking, it violently charges while whipping itself with its three tails. A really rowdy and hyper Pokémon, once it charges, it won't stop until it hits something. Although powerful, it can only charge in a straight line. They fight each other by locking horns to prove their strength, and the leader prides itself with its battle-scarred horns. If there are no opponents, it will charge into thick trees, knocking them down. Historically, people have ridden Tauros for ages, but the practice started in Alola, and Tauros in Alola actually have a calm side, most likely due to the climate. Tauros in Galar though are more volatile and won't let people ride on them. In Paldea, it has 3 other forms, with it now being a Fighting-type along with a Fighting/Fire and a Fighting/Water-type. It is exclusive to North America in Pokémon Go.
Magikarp Koikingu (コイキング) 0129 Water Beginning of evolution Gyarados (#130) Magikarp holds the distinction of being mostly useless in the games, until it evolves into the superior Gyarados. Magikarp is based on the common carp.[42] At level 15, Magikarp learns Tackle. Until then, it only knows Splash and cannot be taught any TMs or HMs.
Gyarados Gyaradosu (ギャラドス) 0130 Water Flying Magikarp (#129) Mega Evolution In the beta versions for Pokémon Red and Blue, Gyarados was originally named "Skullkraken".

The shiny version is red, and plays a role in the series. It appears normally as a long blue sea dragon, despite not being Dragon-type. It is also the only Flying-type that doesn't fly; instead of this, it can hover.
Lapras Rapurasu (ラプラス) 0131 Water Ice Beginning of evolution Gigantamax It has a very gentle nature and was hunted before it became illegal. Gigantamax Lapras is exclusive to Shield. Lapras is based on the Loch Ness Monster and the plesiosaur. In the games, any Pokémon that uses Surf appears in the overworld as a Lapras or a Mantine. Its Gigantamax form has "water magic" around it.
Ditto Metamon (メタモン) 0132 Normal No evolution Ditto is capable of transforming into any Pokémon that it comes across. It was originally intended to have an evolution in Generation II called "Animon" which it would have evolved from a Metal Coat. Fan speculation is that Ditto and Mew are related as Mew can also use Transform, a move exclusive to Ditto. In the anime, Ditto belonging to Duplica had an issue with accurately mimicking appearances where its face always looked like Ditto's own. It appears as a pink blob or amoeba.
Eevee Ībui (イーブイ) 0133 Normal Beginning of evolution Multiple[nb 7]
Gigantamax
Eevee is often considered among the "cutest" Pokémon in the franchise.[56][57][58][59] Due to this, Eevee is featured on various Pokémon-related merchandise.[60][61][62] It is the mascot of Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! Eevee has exclusive evolution styles, where each evolution requires special requirements to occur, resulting in 8 different Pokémon. Eevee is rarely found in the wild and is mostly only found in cities and towns. However, it is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that is easily influenced by its environment or though the radiation of certain stones. This allows it to adapt to a variety of habitats by evolving into eight different evolutions. Some call it and its evolutions the "Eeveelutions". Eevee can also adapt the face of the Trainer that owns it, and Eevee's genes are believed to have the key to solving the mysteries of Pokémon evolution. Its Gigantamax form is bigger and has a thicker fur around his neck.
Vaporeon Shawāzu (シャワーズ) 0134 Water Eevee (#133) End of Evolution Its genes and DNA are similar to that of water, so as soon as it touches water, it looks like it just melted away. If its fins begin to mutate, it means it'll rain in a couple of hours. It now has the ability to freely control water and its tail has gotten people often mistaking it for a mermaid. It evolves from Eevee using a Water Stone.[63] Vaporeon became the ambassador for Water Day in Japan in 2023.[64]
Jolteon Sandāsu (サンダース) 0135 Electric Eevee (#133) End of evolution Jolteon and Zapdos's romanized Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each other's, with a final 's' being the only difference. It accumulates negative ions in the air to dish out 10,000 volt discharges. Its a really moody Pokémon, easily becoming sad or angry. Its fur is like spikes and can be launched to pierce enemies when it bristles. Jolteons cells emit a low amount of electricity, which is amplified by its fur. If its hair stands on end, it's about to discharge. Sometimes lighting can strike next to it and its lungs contain an organ that creates electricity. The crackling sound of electricity can be heard when it exhales. It evolves from Eevee using a Thunder Stone.
Flareon Būsutā (ブースター) 0136 Fire Eevee (#133) End of evolution Flareon shares its category name with Charmeleon, Charizard, Moltres, and Infernape, who are all known as the Flame Pokémon. It stores fire over 1,650°F inside its flame sac, then releases it at over 3,000°F. Its fur is used to air out its body so it doesn't overheat.
Porygon Porigon (ポリゴン) 0137 Normal Beginning of evolution Porygon2 (#233) Porygon has become notorious for being featured in an episode of the anime that caused widespread epileptic seizures in Japanese viewers.[65] Roughly made about 20 years ago, it is entirely made of programming code. It can enter cyberspace at will. People theorized it could go into space, though no one has managed to do so. It has no heartbeat and doesn't need to eat, though it can eat if food is given. Because of this, people are eager to try it in any environment. It's copy-protected so it cannot be duplicated. Using the most advanced technology at the time, scientists have made the first manmade Pokémon, dreaming of exploring space. Nowadays, it is actually very useful in cyberspace, as it goes around making sure no suspicious data exists. It is one of many human-designed Pokémon. It gained an evolution in Generation II, Porygon2.

A vicious, prehistoric Pokémon, it goes for its opponents' throat with its serrated, saw-like fangs that shred the skin of even Steel-type Pokémon. It went extinct, but it was resurrected by taking its DNA from an Old Amber. It appears to be able to fly by spreading its wings and gliding fearlessly though the skies as if it was its own. It was imagined to be the king of the skies while shrieking high-pitched cries. A widely accepted theory is that it went extinct due to a meteor impact. It exhibited ferocity that was greater than expected, resulting in some casualties. When it touched ground however, it was weak and slow. Surprisingly, even modern technology are still unable to make a truly perfect specimen. It is based on pterodactyls and dragons/wyverns.
Snorlax Kabigon (カビゴン) 0143 Normal Munchlax (#446) Gigantamax It is carefree about everything, and it will allow children to play on its vast belly while it sleeps all day. After eating around 500 pounds of food, it goes flat to sleep for a while. Its appearance is a large, obese bear like Pokémon with bluish-green body and a white circle-shaped belly, white feet and face. In the games, it blocks the way forward, and can only be awoken with the PokéFlute. In Generation IV it gained a pre-evolution, Munchlax. Its Gigantamax form has an ecosystem growing on its belly.

Mewtwo Myūtsū (ミュウツー) 0150 Psychic Beginning of evolution Two Mega Evolutions It is one of the playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This Legendary Pokémon was created in a lab after years of gene splicing from Mew's DNA. Its DNA is actually almost the same as Mew's, but its body is size are vastly different. Its cold, glowing eyes strike fear into its foes. Because its psychic abilities were raised to the ultimate level, it only thinks about defeating its enemies as it rests in an undiscovered cave. But even though it has a powerful body, scientists failed to give it a compassionate heart and it turned vicious as a result. It rests to conserve energy, so that it can unleash its full power in battle. The research efforts of Dr. Fuji led him to create Mewtwo. It also appears in several movies.
