'''The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide''' is a guide published by [[VIZ Media]]. It contains information on all 491 Pokémon revealed to date (excluding {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} whose entries appear on a double-sided leaflet (referred as a "poster") included with the box set), which, however, are included as a poster in re-print. Each Pokémon's page has an illustration, a description, a list of some of the [[move]]s it may possess, special [[ability|abilities]], and any evolutions that it may have. It is split into two volumes: volume one covers the first 245 Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Suicune}}) and the rest are in volume two ({{p|Larvitar}} to {{p|Darkrai}}). Volume 1 is 248 pages in length, and Volume 2 is 251 pages in length.

VIZ Media reprinted these books individually on January 10, 2017, and in a box set on February 14, 2017.

==Trivia==
* There is information in this book not seen in other sources, such as saying {{p|Infernape}}'s flames cannot be extinguished as long as it is alive.
* {{p|Remoraid}}'s page features artwork of {{p|Mantine}} as one of the pictures for Remoraid.

===Errors===
* The cover of both books read ''From Abra to Zubat'', despite {{p|Abomasnow}} coming before {{p|Abra}} alphabetically.
* In the first volume:
** In {{p|Wigglytuff}} and {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s descriptions, the move {{m|DoubleSlap}} is misspelled as Double'''s'''lap.
** {{p|Slowbro}} is listed as evolving into {{p|Slowking}}.
** {{p|Farfetch'd}}'s weight is incorrectly typed as 133.1 pounds. Its actual weight is 33.1 pounds.
** In {{p|Voltorb}}'s description, Poké Ball is misspelled as ''Pokéball''.
** On {{p|Marowak}}'s page, its height and weight is the same as {{p|Cubone}}'s. This is incorrect, as Marowak's actual height is 3'3", while its actual weight is 99.2 pounds.
** In {{p|Scyther}}'s description, Scyther is incorrectly pluralized as Scyther'''s'''.
** In {{p|Pinsir}}'s "Special Moves" section, no actual moves are listed, with only its name displayed.
** In {{p|Xatu}}'s description, it mistakenly refers to Xatu as {{p|Natu}}, its pre-evolution's name, in the first sentence. 
** In {{p|Azumarill}}'s description, it can be presumed that when "i's" is written, the term "it's" was meant.

** One of the pictures of {{p|Marshtomp}} shows its back as being purple.
** {{p|Swampert}}'s weight is listed in the book as 14.3 pounds, but Swampert's weight is actually 180.6 pounds.

** {{p|Claydol}} is listed as a {{t|Water}} and {{type|Psychic}}.
** On {{p|Metang}}'s page, its moves {{m|Iron Defense}} and {{m|Bullet Punch}} are listed as "Iron, Bullet, Defense, and Punch".
** On {{p|Regirock}}'s page, its move {{m|Iron Defense}} is listed as "Defense" and "Iron".
** {{p|Groudon}}'s weight is listed as {{a|Drought}}, its Ability.
** In {{p|Weavile}}'s description, the phrase "each other" is mistakenly written backwards as "other each".
** On {{p|Rhyperior}}'s page, its moves {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Earthquake}} are listed as "Horn" and "EarthquakeDrill".
** On {{p|Electivire}}'s page, {{p|Electabuzz}} is highlighted in the evolution line when Electivire should have been highlighted.
