List of Pokémon (1-20)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the core of the multi-billion dollar Pokémon media franchise of video games, anime, manga, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri are 493 distinctive fictional species classified as the titular Pokémon. These creatures and entities reside throughout the various regions of the fictional Pokémon world and can be caught by humans designated as Pokémon Trainers, and Trainers use Pokémon for a variety of purposes, such as being pets and loyal companions and/or being pitted against other trained Pokémon in competitive Pokémon battles. Pokémon are potentially powerful and magical creatures that can employ a variety of talents such as breathing fire, martial arts, psychokinesis, and so on, and through age and experience many species undergo a metamorphosis and transform into a similar but stronger specie in a process referred to as Pokémon evolution.
This is a selected listing of twenty of the Pokémon species, arranged as they are in the main game series' National Pokédex.

[edit] Bulbasaur
| Number: 001 | Type: Grass/Poison | Evolves from: None | Evolves into: Ivysaur |
Bulbasaur (フシギダネ? Fushigidane in original Japanese language versions) are selectable as one of three "Starter Pokémon" at the beginning of the games of the main series of Pokémon RPGs that are set primarily in the Kanto region (Pokémon Red and Blue for Game Boy, as well as their remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Game Boy Advance). Bulbasaur are not acquirable anywhere else in the main series aside from Pokémon Yellow. Time magazine notes that Bulbasaur is considered one of the "more popular" Pokémon species.[citation needed] A Bulbasaur is born with a seed planted into its back, and the seed sprouts and grows as the Pokémon matures.[1] Scientists in the Pokémon world have been unable to determine whether a Bulbasaur should be classified as either a plant or an animal.[citation needed]
In the Pokémon anime, Pokémon Trainer protagonist Ash Ketchum acquired as his fourth Pokémon a Bulbasaur from a Kanto region Pokémon nursery in episode 10, "Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village", and since then has become one of Ash's longest-running companions. Ash's Bulbasaur typically has a relaxed atitude, rarely allowing itself to be provoked,[citation needed] and it prefers itself the way it is, refusing to evolve into an Ivysaur when given the opportunity in the first-season episode "Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden", to the annoyance of its Ivysaur and Venusaur peers present in the garden.[citation needed] Another Bulbasaur joined the team of Ash's friend May in the sixth season ("Advance Generation") episode "Grass Hysteria" in the Hoenn region, and this Bulbasaur is used by May in Pokémon Contests. It is curious in nature and would try to play with anything that looks interesting, which caused trouble at times, but this habit was eased under tutoring over time. It exhibits an apparent crush towards Ash's Bulbasaur.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Red, the protagonist, receives a Bulbasaur from Professor Oak after demonstrating instinctive knowledge of its abilities.[citation needed] It becomes one of his primary Pokémon and would evolve into an Ivysaur and then a Venusaur over time.
[edit] Ivysaur
| Number: 002 | Type: Grass/Poison | Evolves from: Bulbasaur | Evolves into: Venusaur |
Ivysaur (フシギソウ Fushigisō?, Fushigisou in original Japanese language versions) is a larger and stronger form that Bulbasaur takes when it gains enough experience. In the main Pokémon game series, an Ivysaur is only acquired when a Bulbasaur grows past experience level 16 and is evolved into an Ivysaur. In the Ivysaur stage of development, the bulb on the Pokémon's back has begun to blossom into a flower, which gains enough weight that the creature underneath loses the ability to stand on its hind legs.[2] In a reversal of the bulb’s function from the Bulbasaur stage, the bud appears to draw energy from the Ivysaur, as well as photosynthesizing.[citation needed]
In the Pokémon anime, Ivysaur are seen in the first-season episode "Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden" freshly evolved from their Bulbasaur forms in a secluded evolution ritual of sorts. Ash Ketchum's Bulbasaur is present, but it refuses to evolve into an Ivysaur itself, which does not go over well with the other Ivysaur and their Venusaur chieftain. In a more recent episode, "Judgment Day", Ash and his friends encounter a trainer from the Kanto region who owns an Ivysaur as well as a Charmeleon and a Wartortle.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Red, the protagonist, had a Bulbasaur that evolved into an Ivysaur, which in turn evolved into a Venusaur over time.
[edit] Venusaur
| Number: 003 | Type: Grass/Poison | Evolves from: Ivysaur | Evolves into: None |
Venusaur (フシギバナ? Fushigibana in original Japanese language versions) is the fully grown and developed form of the Bulbasaur species evolution line. In the main Pokémon game series, a Venusaur is only acquired when an Ivysaur grows past experience level 32 and is evolved into an Venusaur. As a Venusaur, the bulb on the Pokémon's back has fully blossomed into a hefty flower, and the flower blooms under the influence of sunlight and the resulting photosynthesis. The Venusaur is compelled to seek out sunlight to sustain its flower.[3] The fragrance emitted from its brilliantly-colored flower becalms foes in battle, as well as humans.[citation needed]
In the Pokémon anime, a Venusaur is seen in the first-season episode "Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden" as the leader-figure of a clan of Bulbasaur, and the Venusaur oversees a ritual that causes the Bulbasaur to evolve into Ivysaur. Ash Ketchum's Bulbasaur is present, but it refuses to evolve into an Ivysaur itself, and the Venusaur confronts Ash's Bulbasaur over this. Then in Pokémon: The First Movie, a trainer owns a Venusaur nicknamed "Bruteroot" that is cloned by the Pokémon Mewtwo into a second Venusaur that Mewtwo keeps for itself, and this Venusaur is seen in Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns. In the seventh-season episode "Grass Hysteria", a Venusaur guards a forest full of Grass-type Pokémon, and by the episode's end it encourages a particular Bulbasaur to join May. Most recently, a Venusaur is seen in a ninth-season ("Battle Frontier") episode.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Red, the protagonist, had a Bulbasaur that evolved into an Ivysaur, which in turn evolved into a Venusaur over time. Red used it in his battles in the Pokémon league, as well as against Bruno of the Elite Four.
[edit] Charmander
| Number: 004 | Type: Fire | Evolves from: None | Evolves into: Charmeleon |
Charmander (ヒトカゲ? Hitokage in original Japanese language versions) are selectable as one of three "Starter Pokémon" at the beginning of the games of the main series of Pokémon RPGs that are set primarily in the Kanto region (Pokémon Red and Blue for Game Boy, as well as their remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Game Boy Advance). Charmander are not acquirable anywhere else in the main series aside from Pokémon Yellow. The end of a Charmander's tail is alit with a flame, and the flame's status reflects both the physical health[4] and the emotions of the individual. If the flame were to ever go out, the Charmander would die.[citation needed] Raindrops falling onto a Charmander's tail would spout steam, so Charmander clearly prefer to be in hot places.[5]
In the Pokémon anime, a Charmander was formerly under the ownership of an uncaring Trainer named Demian who abandoned it, and it would have died in the rain if protagonist Ash Ketchum had not saved and acquired it in episode 11 of the anime's first season, "Charmander - The Stray Pokémon". Charmander became a loving and loyal partner to Ash for a while afterward, but when it evolved into a Charmeleon and later on a Charizard, it would undergo a complete personality change. Since then, another Charmander nicknamed "Zippo" had been seen under the ownership of the young Pokémon trainer Ritchie, and Zippo was set to battle Ash's Charizard in an Indigo League match. Later, Zippo evolves into a Charmeleon.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Blue (Green in the original version) received a Charmander from his father Professor Oak, and it becomes one of his primary Pokémon and would evolve into Charmeleon and then Charizard over time.
[edit] Charmeleon
| Number: 005 | Type: Fire | Evolves from: Charmander | Evolves into: Charizard |
Charmeleon (リザード Rizādo?, Lizardo in original Japanese language versions) is a larger and stronger form that Charmander takes when it gains enough experience. In the main Pokémon game series, a Charmeleon is only acquired when a Charmander grows past experience level 16 and is evolved into an Charmeleon. Charmeleon are excessively savage and short-tempered by nature,[6] and they are made to be powerful fighters as a result. The flame on its tail, carried over from its Charmander stage, may burn a bluish white when the Pokémon is excited,[citation needed] and the air temperature often raises to very high levels when the tail flame is waved around.[7]
In the Pokémon anime, the primary appearance of a Charmeleon was when Ash’s Charmander evolved into Charmeleon in the first season, but its personality changed completely. It became a very disobedient Pokémon and only fought when and how it felt like doing so. It would evolve into a Charizard shortly after, retaining its attitude problem. The other main Charmeleon seen in the anime is owned by the young Pokémon trainer Richie, and it is nicknamed Zippo. In contrast to Ash's Charmeleon, Zippo remained loyal to Richie when it evolved from Charmander to Charmeleon.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Blue (Green in the original version) received a Charmander from his father Professor Oak, and it becomes one of his primary Pokémon and would evolve into Charmeleon and then Charizard over time.
[edit] Charizard
| Number: 006 | Type: Fire/Flying | Evolves from: Charmeleon | Evolves into: None |
Charizard (リザードン Rizādon?, Lizardon in original Japanese language versions) is the fully grown and developed form of the Charmander species evolution line. It is one of the best-known Pokémon species, and it was particularly infamous early in the Pokémon franchise's history as a card in the Pokémon trading card game which at times fetched for over $100.[citation needed] In the main Pokémon game series, a Charizard is only acquired when a Charmeleon grows past experience level 36 and is evolved into a Charizard. As a Charizard, the Pokémon now possesses a pair of powerful wings for flight, and its ability to breathe fire becomes potent enough that it can melt solid rock. Such is its power that it causes forest fires from time to time even if that was not its intention.[citation needed]
In the Pokémon anime, one Charizard is one of the longest-running members of Pokémon Trainer Ash Ketchum's Pokémon team, having evolved from its Charmeleon stage in a first-season episode to battle an Aerodactyl that was putting Ash in danger, but Charizard was disobedient to its trainer for some time to come because Pokémon by general nature do not automatically obey a trainer with a lack of experience if the Pokémon themselves are experienced. Ash's Charizard came to accept and obey its trainer over time as Ash continued to save Charizard from certain death, and from then on Charizard has made many appearances as a warrior Pokémon for Ash, including a starring role in Pokémon 3: The Movie. In the third season, Charizard left Ash's team to train in a valley full of other Charizard called Charicific Valley, but it would occasionally reappear to fight for Ash in important Pokémon battles.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Blue (Green in the original version) received a Charmander from his father Professor Oak and had it evolve into Charmeleon and then Charizard, and it has been one of his primary Pokémon throughout the entire series.
[edit] Squirtle
| Number: 007 | Type: Water | Evolves from: None | Evolves into: Wartortle |
Squirtle (ゼニガメ? Zenigame in original Japanese language versions) are selectable as one of three "Starter Pokémon" at the beginning of the games of the main series of Pokémon RPGs that are set primarily in the Kanto region (Pokémon Red and Blue for Game Boy, as well as their remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Game Boy Advance). Squirtle are not acquirable anywhere else in the main series aside from Pokémon Yellow. A Squirtle's back hardens into a resilient shell after birth.[8] When feeling threatened, Squirtle withdraw their limbs and their long necks into their shells and spray water from their mouth with great force, either to attack their opponent or merely to intimidate it.[citation needed]

[edit] Wartortle
| Number: 008 | Type: Water | Evolves from: Squirtle | Evolves into: Blastoise |
Wartortle (カメール Kamēru?, Kameil in original Japanese language versions) is a larger and stronger form that Squirtle takes when it gains enough experience. In the main Pokémon game series, a Wartortle is only acquired when a Squirtle grows past experience level 16 and is evolved into a Wartortle. Wartortle are more aggressive than Squirtle, and their shells often feature scratches obtained in battles with other Pokémon. Their ability to swim is greatly aided by their long ears and long fluffy tail for balance.[9] Their tails are long enough that when a Wartortle withdraws into its shell, part of the tail still sticks out.[citation needed]

[edit] Blastoise
| Number: 009 | Type: Water | Evolves from: Wartortle | Evolves into: None |
Blastoise (カメックス Kamekkusu?, Kamex in original Japanese language versions) is the fully grown and developed form of the Squirtle species evolution line. In the main Pokémon game series, a Blastoise is only acquired when a Wartortle grows past experience level 36 and is evolved into a Blastoise. As a Blastoise, two sections of the hefty shell open up to reveal cannon-like spouts on the Pokémon's back that can fire pressurized water at a target with enough force that even concrete walls and thick steel can be punctured.[10] The spouts can generate enough water that three full olympic swimming pools can be filled up by a single Blastoise within one minute.[citation needed]

[edit] Caterpie
| Number: 010 | Type: Bug | Evolves from: None | Evolves into: Metapod |
Caterpie (キャタピー Kyatapī?) are larval Pokémon found in the wild early in the Kanto and Johto regions. In main series Pokémon games set in these regions, Caterpie are among the earliest and easiest Pokémon species caught by players, and they are very weak Pokémon that are captured to be evolved into their cocoon-like Metapod form and eventually into the Butterfly-like Butterfree form. Caterpie in the wild employ biological adaptions to survive, much like real caterpillars, in that their green bodies are useful for camoflauge in foliage, their eyes are patterned to scare away predators,[citation needed] their suction-cup feet allow them to climb any surface,[11] and the feelers on their heads can project a horrid stench to repel predators.[12]

[edit] Metapod
| Number: 011 | Type: Bug | Evolves from: Caterpie | Evolves into: Butterfree |
Metapod (トランセル Toranseru?, Transel in original Japanese language versions) are pupal Pokémon found in the wild early in the Kanto and Johto regions, of which its larval form is the caterpillar-like Caterpie. In main series Pokémon games set in these regions, Metapod are among the earliest and easiest Pokémon species acquired by players, either by catching one in the wild or training a Caterpie past experience level 7 and evolving it into a Metapod. They can evolve into the butterfly-like Butterfree when raised past experience level 10. A Metapod's exterior is regularly hardened to protect its soft and tender innards while undergoing metamorphosis to eventually become a Butterfree.[13] To conserve energy for this event, the Metapod barely moves.[14]
In the Pokémon anime... In the Pokémon Adventures manga...
[edit] Butterfree
| Number: 012 | Type: Bug/Flying | Evolves from: Metapod | Evolves into: None |
Butterfree (バタフリー Batafurī?) are fully developed butterfly-like Pokémon that have hatched from their pupal Metapod forms. In main series Pokémon games, Butterfree are only acquired by training a Metapod past experience level 10 and evolving it into a Butterfree; whereas many other Pokémon evolve into their final forms at much later levels, Butterfree's early availability makes it a temporarily strong asset to Pokémon Trainers starting out on their journeys. Butterfree feed on honey from flowers, and they rub the honey onto the hairs on their legs to transport the honey back to their nests.[15] A Butterfree has water-repellant wings that allow it to fly in heavy rains,[16] something many other insect Pokémon such as Masquerain cannot do, and Butterfree wings are coated in toxic dust that can be shot at an opponent in battle through wing flapping.[citation needed]

[edit] Weedle
| Number: 013 | Type: Bug/Poison | Evolves from: None | Evolves into: Kakuna |
Weedle (ビードル Bīdoru?, Beedle in original Japanese language versions) are larval Pokémon found in the wild early in the Kanto and Johto regions. In main series Pokémon games set in these regions, Weedle are among the earliest and easiest Pokémon species caught by players, and they are very weak Pokémon that are captured to be evolved into their cocoon-like Kakuna form and eventually into the hornet-like Beedrill form. Commonly spotted in the forests and grasslands, eating leaves, Weedle are well protected from predators by sharp two-inch barbs on their heads[17] which secrete a strong poison, and another stinger is on each Weedle's rear. Sniffing with its big red proboscis, a Weedle uses its extremely acute sense of smell to find the types of leaves it likes, avoiding those it dislikes.[citation needed]

[edit] Kakuna
| Number: 014 | Type: Bug/Poison | Evolves from: Weedle | Evolves into: Beedrill |
Kakuna (コクーン Kokūn?, Cocoon in original Japanese language versions) are pupal Pokémon found in the wild early in the Kanto and Johto regions, of which its larval form is the worm-like Weedle. In main series Pokémon games set in these regions, Kakuna are among the earliest and easiest Pokémon species acquired by players, either by catching one in the wild or training a Weedle past experience level 7 and evolving it into a Kakuna. They can evolve into the hornet-like Beedrill when raised past experience level 10. Within the shell, a Kakuna busily prepares itself for evolution into its adult form, and the amount of energy released by this process makes the shell quite hot to the touch. In the wild, Kakuna are often found near or on trees, and because their range of motion is extremely limited, they may be mistaken for dead. Carelessly approaching a Kakuna in this state would be extremely unwise because it can still extend the barb of its poisonous stinger to protect itelf from threats.[18]

[edit] Beedrill
| Number: 015 | Type: Bug/Poison | Evolves from: Kakuna | Evolves into: None |
Beedrill (スピアー Supiā?, Spear in original Japanese language versions) are fully developed hornet-like Pokémon that have hatched from their pupal Kakuna forms. In main series Pokémon games, Beedrill are only acquired by training a Kakuna past experience level 10 and evolving it into a Beedrill; whereas many other Pokémon evolve into their final forms at much later levels, Beedrill's early availability makes it a temporarily strong asset to Pokémon Trainers starting out on their journeys. Beedrill are extremely territorial, and will be set off by anything that approaches a Beedrill nest. When angered, Beedrill attack in a furious swarm, and the sharp ends of their stingers and the poison stored in their abdomens will definitely be put to use.[citation needed]

[edit] Pidgey
| Number: 016 | Type: Normal/Flying | Evolves from: None | Evolves into: Pidgeotto |
Pidgey (ポッポ? Poppo in original Japanese language versions), whose original name in the English beta version of Pokémon Red and Blue was “Pidge”, are a basic Pokémon species found very commonly in the wild in the Kanto and Johto regions of the Pokémon world. Pidgey are among the earliest Pokémon that can be caught by players. Pidgey are quite docile and non-confrontational birds that are often found foraging in tall grass for the small insects that they feed on. It does it’s best to avoid battle by hiding in grass,[19] for it is not an especially strong Pokémon and is common prey.[citation needed]
In the Pokémon anime, a Pidgey was first seen in the first episode, "Pokémon, I choose you!", and main character Ash Ketchum attempted to catch it to start off on his journey to become a Pokémon master, but he failed in doing so. Since then, Pidgey have been seen under the ownership of various junior trainers, and some have also been used as carrier pigeons to transfer mail. In the episode “Fly Me to the Moon”, a Pidgey named Orville dreams of flying higher than any Pokémon, and it achieves that by managing to reach the upper atmosphere. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, a robotic Pidgey serves as Red’s guide to the Safari zone.
[edit] Pidgeotto
| Number: 017 | Type: Normal/Flying | Evolves from: Pidgey | Evolves into: Pidgeot |
Pidgeotto (ピジョン Pijon?, Pigeon in original Japanese language versions) is a larger and stronger form that Pidgey takes when it gains enough experience. In the main Pokémon game series, a Pidgeotto is only acquired when a Pidgey grows past experience level 18 and is evolved into a Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto are extremely territorial, generally claiming a large area with its nest built in the center. Full of vitality, they constantly patrol their territory, mercilessly punishing intruders. They fly about in circular patterns while hunting, and can spot the movements of their prey on the ground no matter how high they fly.[20] Pidgeotto then attack with their wickedly sharp talons and carries their prey, including Exeggcute and Magikarp, back to their nests from as far as 60 miles away - or more.[21]
In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum caught a Pidgeotto in an early episode. It remained one of the feature members of his team throughout his Indigo League challenge. As Ash made his way to the Orange Islands, his Pidgeotto evolved into a Pidgeot. There have been no major appearances by other Pidgeotto since then. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, a Pidgeotto attempts to abduct Yellow’s Caterpie but is stopped by Yellow’s Pikachu, nicknamed Pika. Johto gym leader Falkner also owns a Pidgeotto and is seen when Gold meets him.
[edit] Pidgeot
| Number: 018 | Type: Normal/Flying | Evolves from: Pidgeotto | Evolves into: None |
Pidgeot (ピジョット Pijotto?, Pigeot in original Japanese language versions), whose original name in the English beta version of Pokémon Red and Blue was “Pidgeott”, is the fully grown and developed form of the Pidgey species evolution line. In the main Pokémon game series, a Pidgeot is only acquired when a Pidgeotto grows past experience level 36 and is evolved into a Pidgeot. Pidgeot are large, powerful birds admired for their glossy plumage and their battling ability. With their powerful chest muscles at work, Pidgeot can flap their wings fast enough to whip up gusts of winds to rival tornadoes.[22] Pidgeot are very aerodynamic, capable of soaring to an altitude of 3300 feet[citation needed] and reaching speeds of up to Mach 2.[23] Like Pidgeotto, Pidgeot feed on Magikarp by swooping from the sky and snatching them out of the water with their talons.[citation needed] Pidgeot appear very similar to Pidgeotto, so much so that one has been easily mistaken for the other, even by official sources. However, the feathers of Pidgeot’s crest are much longer.[citation needed]
In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum’s Pidgeotto evolves into a Pidgeot on his way to the Orange Islands, as a result of a confrontation with a Fearow that harbored a grudge against Ash from a long-past encounter. Ash agreed to leave it behind so that it could protect a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto from danger and a rival flock of Spearow and Fearow. Pidgeot have occasionally been seen in the anime under the ownership of various trainers since then, including Johto gym leader Falkner. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Blue (Green in the original version) has a Pidgeot, which he sometimes uses for transportation or to relay messages.
[edit] Rattata
| Number: 019 | Type: Normal | Evolves from: None | Evolves into: Raticate |
Rattata (コラッタ? Koratta in original Japanese language versions) are a basic Pokémon species found very commonly in the wild in the Kanto and Johto regions of the Pokémon world. Rattata are among the earliest Pokémon that can be caught by players. Rattata are extremely common in the Kanto and Johto regions and reproduce very quickly in the wild wherever it has settled,[24] so much so that it is said that the presence of one Rattata indicates the presence of more than forty Rattata in the area.[25] They make their nests almost anywhere[26] and as extreme omnivores eat anything they can scavenge. A Rattata's fangs grow continuously throughout its lifespan, so it whittles them down to a comfortable size by gnawing on hard objects. While Rattata are common prey for many other species of Pokémon in the wild, in battle they display impressive vitality and resilience.[citation needed]

[edit] Raticate
| Number: 020 | Type: Normal | Evolves from: Rattata | Evolves into: None |
Raticate (ラッタ? Ratta in original Japanese language versions) is a larger and stronger form that Rattata takes when it gains enough experience. In the main Pokémon game series, a Raticate is only acquired when a Rattata grows past experience level 20 and is evolved into a Raticate. Compared to a Rattata, a Raticate is far more of a predator, and the majority of its features are adapted for this purpose. Its whiskers give it balance and it slows down if they are cut off. Its webbed feet allow it to swim as it hunts prey, and its fangs are its primary weapons for preying.[citation needed]
