Who's that Pokemon?
A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this POKéMON.
Bulbasaur
To evolve this iconic Electric-type into its Alolan or Kantonian forms, you must expose it to a Thunder Stone
Pikachu
This Psychic-type Pokémon was created by scientists in a lab using the DNA of Mew, but it eventually escaped and took up residence in Cerulean Cave.
Mewtwo
This iconic Kanto Gym Leader and Rock-type specialist eventually left his gym to travel with Ash Ketchum as his first male companion.
Brock
This is the very first region introduced in the series, home to Pallet Town and the famous Professor Oak.
Kanto
This Pokémon has the habit of hugging its companions. Many Trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug.
Bewear
While most Pokémon evolve by leveling up, these two Gen 1 trade-evolutions—a ghost and a muscle-bound fighter—require being exchanged between players.
Haunter and Machoke
According to Sinnoh legend, this "Alpha Pokémon" emerged from an egg in a place of nothingness and is credited with creating the entire universe.
Arceus
As the Champion of the Sinnoh region, this formidable trainer is known for her signature partner, Garchomp, and her hauntingly beautiful piano theme music.
Cynthia
Based on the United Kingdom, this region introduced the Dynamax phenomenon and features a massive "Wild Area."
Galar
This mythical Pokémon is said to be extinct, but sightings of it are still being reported to this day.
Mew
To evolve Scyther into the Steel-type Scizor, it must be traded while holding this specific metallic item.
Metal Coat
In the Hoenn region, these two "Eon Pokémon"—one red and one blue—are known for their high speed and ability to understand human speech.
Latios and Latias
Found at the peak of Mt. Silver in the Johto games, this silent protagonist is the ultimate "secret boss" and uses a high-level team including Pikachu, Snorlax, and Charizard.
Red
This massive, snowy mountain in the Johto region is where the final battle against Red takes place and is considered the highest point in the Pokémon world.
Mt. Silver
It tears and shreds prey with its wickedly sharp scythes. It very rarely spreads its wings to fly.
Scyther
To get a Politoed or a Slowking, you must trade their pre-evolutions while they are holding this specific "regal" item.
King's Rock
Known as the "Renegade Pokémon," this Ghost/Dragon-type was banished to the Distortion World for its violent behavior.
Giritina
According to a popular fan theory, this rival trainer loses his Raticate after a battle on the St. Anne, as he is next seen standing in the Pokémon Tower graveyard asking if you know what it’s like for a Pokémon to die.
Blue
In the Hoenn region, this underwater location can only be reached using the move Dive and contains the braille puzzles needed to unlock the Three Regis.
Sealed Chamber
Although it’s alien to this world and a danger here, it’s apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.

In the Pokémon Sword and Shield era, this Ghost/Ground-type from Galar only evolves if it has taken at least 49 HP in damage and walks under a specific stone archway in the Wild Area.
Galarian Yamask
In the very first episode of the anime, Ash spots this golden, rainbow-winged Legendary Pokémon flying toward a rainbow—years before its official debut in the Johto region.
