 This term should not be confused with a Pokémon species, since several different Pokémon can be identified by the same species in the Pokédex, no matter how distantly related.  This term should also not be confused with the real world definition of {{wp|species}}, since it has nothing to do with which Pokémon are able to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] and produce fertile offspring; in fact, breeding among Pokémon can easily occur between species since it is controlled by [[Egg Group]]s.
-Under the most commonly accepted real-world scientific definition, there are in fact about fourteen<!-- not counting No Eggs--> true {{wp|species}} of Pokémon, defined by the various [[Egg Group]]s, with the Pokémon that exist in more than one Egg Group resembling {{wp|ring species}}.  Some Pokémon (primarily [[legendary Pokémon]]) cannot breed at all, suggesting that they are each a species of their own.
