In a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} | In a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[Pokédex]] information, the '''species''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|分類|ぶんるい}}''' ''classification'') is a name which identifies the Pokémon based on one of its defining biological characteristics. Most often, the defining traits are part of the Pokémon’s physiology, special abilities, or behavior. | ||
This term should not be confused with a [[Pokémon (species)|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. | This term should not be confused with a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]], since several different Pokémon can be identified by the same species in the Pokédex, no matter how distantly related.
