At the core of the multi-billion dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise of various electronic games, ongoing anime, several manga series, collectible trading card games, and other media are 493 distinctive fictional species classified as the titular Pokémon. Created by Satoshi Tajiri, Pokémon is one of Nintendo's flagship game franchises, which has sold over 143 million copies worldwide as of 2007.[2] These creatures and entities reside throughout various locations of the fictional Pokémon universe and can be caught by humans designated as Pokémon Trainers often using devices called Poké Balls. These 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 generating fire or heat, martial arts, telekinesis, and so on. Through age and experience many of these 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] Kricketot

Number: 401 Type: Bug Evolves from: None Evolves into: Kricketune

Kricketot (コロボーシ Korobōshi?, Korobohshi in original Japanese language versions) has two large antennae function not only as feelers, but also as a musical instrument. In order to create sounds, it swings its head around, causing the feelers to collide and make a sound like a xylophone. Kricketot's design is based on a composer or conductor; its body resembles an orchestra conductor's costume. Kricketot only learns harden and bide similar to Seedot.

Collars of the female are noticeably larger than those of the male.

Also, it should be noticed that the antenna of Kricketot appear to be a raised version of Kricketune's mustache.

Oddly, it is strikingly similar to Volbeat and Illumise, due to similar head collars, and that it has antennas. However, besides the fact that they are both bug types, they are not related in any way.

[edit] Kricketune

Number: 402 Type: Bug Evolves from: Kricketot Evolves into: None

Kricketune (コロトック Korotokku?, Korotok in original Japanese language versions) resembles a dark red cricket standing upright. Its forearms curve into scythe-like shapes (compare with Scyther), perhaps resembling conductor's batons. It also has two large whiskers resembling a handlebar mustache above the nose. The "mustache" on the female is slightly smaller than the male's.

Its appearance resembles a violin, or double bass, with string-like lines on its neck. Due to these traits, its design could have been influenced by the real life violin beetle. But with its scythes, or bows (for a violin), it could most likely be instrument-designed, like its pre-evolution, Kricketot.

[edit] Shinx

Number: 403 Type: Electric Evolves from: None Evolves into: Luxio

Shinx (コリンク Korinku?, Kolink in original Japanese language versions) generates electricity from the yellow bands on its front legs, much like the red spots on Pikachu's cheeks. Upon sensing danger, it shoots out a dazzling light from every hair on its body. While the opponent is blinded, it takes the opportunity to quickly escape. The yellow pattern on its ears and tail is reminiscent of flashes of light.

[edit] Luxio

Number: 404 Type: Electric Evolves from: Shinx Evolves into: Luxray

Luxray (レントラー Rentorā?, Rentorar in original Japanese language versions) has gold, red-pupiled eyes that are specially designed for X-ray vision, which enables this predatory Pokémon to spot hiding prey, even if hidden behind a wall. The manes of female Luxray are about a third the length of their male counterparts. It is about the smartest cat Pokémon so far.

[edit] Budew

Number: 406 Type: Grass/Poison Evolves from: None Evolves into: Roselia

Budew (スボミー Subomī?, Subomie in original Japanese language versions) resembles a rose bud, hence its classification as the Flower Bud Pokémon. Its head is held in place by vines that twist slightly above its head, giving the impression of a closed bud. In the cold of winter, the bud closes tightly; when spring comes, it opens and disperses pollen.

Cranidos (ズガイドス Zugaidosu?, Zugaidos in original Japanese language versions) is a Pokémon that first lived in jungles one hundred million years before the settings of the games.

[edit] Shieldon

Number: 410 Type: Rock/Steel Evolves from: Armor Fossil Evolves into: Bastiodon

Shieldon (タテトプス Tatetopusu?, Tatetops in original Japanese language versions) is a Pokémon that lived in jungles one hundred million years before the series. Though it has an extremely hard facial hide that it polishes by rubbing against tree trunks, it is weak to attacks from behind.

[edit] Bastiodon

Number: 411 Type: Rock/Steel Evolves from: Shieldon Evolves into: None

Bastiodon (トリデプス Toridepusu?, Trideps in original Japanese language versions) is a Pokémon with a shield-like face. It can repel any attack, and if a herd is attacked, they surround their young with a wall of their faces in order to protect them similar to what a buffalo colony does to protect their young. It is normally docile and feeds on grass and berries.

[edit] Burmy

Number: 412 Type: Bug Evolves from: None Evolves into: Wormadam or Mothim

Burmy (ミノムッチ? Minomucchi in original Japanese language versions) is a Bagworm Pokémon that can take on three forms by making cloaks out of different materials depending on where it battles. In grassy areas, it creates a cloak of twigs and leaves that also protects it from cold winds. In caves, it makes a cloak out of sand and dirt. In buildings, it uses trash and other materials to make its cloak. If the cloak is broken in battle, it makes a new one quickly. Upon evolution, if female, a Burmy will evolve into Wormadam, which also takes on a form similar to the cloak the Burmy was wearing, while male Burmy evolve into Mothim.

[edit] Wormadam

Number: 413 Type: Bug/Grass, Ground, or Steel (Depending on form) Evolves from: Burmy Evolves into: None

Wormadam (ミノマダム Minomadamu?, Minomadam in original Japanese language versions) is the evolved form of female Burmy. Wormadam is a unique Pokémon due to its multiple forms, which have different colors and different stats, as well as different secondary types. Wormadam's form is dependent upon the form of the Burmy from which it evolved, as the materials on it become part of Wormadam's body. If a Burmy evolves while battling inside a forest or in a grassy area it will evolve into the grass type Wormadam. If a Burmy evolves while battling inside a cave or on a mountainous region it will evolve into the ground type Wormadam. If a Burmy evolves while battling inside a building it will evolve into the steel type Wormadam.

[edit] Mothim

Number: 414 Type: Bug/Flying Evolves from: Burmy Evolves into: None

Mothim (ガーメイル Gāmeiru?, Garmeil in original Japanese language versions) is the evolution of male Burmy. It does not keep a nest, and is in constant search of floral honey found in fields and mountains, which it sometimes steals from Combee.

Vespiquen (ビークイン Bīkuin?, Beequeen in original Japanese language versions) is a single ruler of a colony of Combee. Its abdomen acts as a six-celled honeycomb for Combee grubs. They feed on honey collected by other Combee, and protect the Vespiquen if its in danger. The jewel that is located on the head of every Vespiquen is used in battle to collect rays of light that can be reflected and fired at any enemy at will. Vespiquen can also learn three powerful order attacks (Attack Order, Heal Order, and Defense Order) which it uses to call its fellow combee for help on defending itself, healing itself, or attacking an enemy, whenever needed. Vespiquen is always female, as such only female Combee's can evolve into it.

Number: 417 Type: Electric Does not evolve

Pachirisu (パチリス ?) is a squirrel Pokémon that charges electricity in the pouches of its cheeks and discharges shots from its tail. It lives in trees where it stores berries with protective static fur. In the Sinnoh hand guide, it stated that Pachirisu and Pikachu share many of the same qualities.

Also Pachirisu shocks Dawn, just like Pikachu did.
