The '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is an invaluable tool to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. [[Regional Pokédex]]es give information about Pokémon native to a particular [[region]], while the [[National Pokédex]] records information about all known Pokémon. [[Professor Laventon]] is the first known researcher to have pioneered the concept of a Pokédex, while the digital version of it is a more recent invention created by [[Professor Oak]].

'''Pokédex entries''' (Japanese: '''図鑑説明文''' ''illustrated encyclopedia explanatory note'') typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, [[cry]], [[footprint]] (prior to [[Generation VI]]), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.

===Entries===
The main feature of any Pokédex are the entries on each individual Pokémon, which provide details that would otherwise be unexplored in the games. If a Pokémon is caught, its full Pokédex entry becomes available. A Pokémon that was seen but not caught has a partial entry.
{{main|Pokédex entry}}
 
From [[Generation VII]] onwards, some Pokémon forms have separate Pokédex entries, each form with its own text description, type, category, height, and weight. In some cases, this includes separate entries for [[regional form]]s, [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Gigantamax]] forms, [[Pikachu in a cap]], and so on.
 
The table below contains the information available in the Pokédex.

Although the Pokédex has is able to search Pokémon by [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] in Generations III–VII, it has no feature to indicate what is the color of a specific Pokémon.
 
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, unlike most Pokédexes, the Pokémon’s entry is not immediately added upon one being captured. Instead, it is only added by completing enough research tasks. Additionally, many of the entries are written in first person by Professor Laventon. The cover of the book starts out appearing brand new at the beginning of the game, but slowly becomes more worn as the game progresses.
 
====Description====
A short text description is available for each Pokémon in the Pokédex.
 
In [[Generation I]], the Pokédex text entry is split into two pages; the player can press A to go to the next page. In [[Generation II]], the Japanese games do not have multi-page Pokédex entries; international versions have a "Page" button for long Pokédex entries. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, there is a Page button to switch between pages of multi-page Pokédex entries.
 
From {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onwards, the description is displayed on a single page for each Pokémon.
 
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]] are available for 14 Pokémon species after the player meets Meister. In {{game|Platinum}}, this function was expanded to all Pokémon, although it still requires Meister to update the Pokédex. From {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onwards, foreign entries are available for all Pokémon from the start of the game.
 
From {{g|Sun and Moon}} onwards, but excluding {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, some Pokémon with [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]] have separate Pokédex entries for their different forms, provided that those alternate forms are available in the game's [[regional Pokédex]]. This includes, but is not limited to, [[regional form]]s, [[Mega Evolution]]s in [[Generation VII]], and [[Gigantamax]] forms in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} [[regional forms]] from other regions are excluded.
 
Several Pokédex entries are reused in different games. For more information, see [[Pokédex entry recycling]].


====Forms====
A Pokédex entry typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, [[cry]], [[footprint]] (prior to [[Generation VI]]), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.
From [[Generation IV]] onwards, the Forms page allows the player to see a list of forms and gender differences, as long as the player has seen them before. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them.
 
From [[Generation IV]] to [[Generation VI]], males and females of all Pokémon with differing gender are shown separately under in the Forms section even if there is no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|visible gender difference]].
 
In [[Generation V]], the Forms page is added by [[Cedric Juniper]] when the player visits [[Mistralton City]].
 
From Generation V onwards, the Forms page displays [[Shiny Pokémon]] as well, and the last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry.
 
From [[Generation VII]] onwards, a Pokémon's gender is only shown separately under the Forms section if there is a visible gender difference. Starting this generation, several Pokémon have separate Pokédex entries for different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including event-exclusive forms, [[regional form]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s. Each form's entry has its own text blurb, and may also have a different category, type, height, weight, color, and shape. Once a Pokémon with form differences is caught, Pokédex entries are unlocked for all forms that has been seen, even if the player has never owned a Pokémon in this form yet.
 
In [[Generation IX]], however, the Pokédex doesn't have a Forms page, and players can view the forms of the Pokémon they caught last. In these games, different [[regional form]]s have separate entries in different Pokédexes, and capturing one form of Pokémon only adds the entry to a Pokédex in which it is listed (for instance, capturing a Paldean Wooper adds an entry to the Paldean Pokédex, but does not mark Johtonian Wooper in the Kitakami Pokédex as caught).
 
====Cry====
In [[Generation I]], the Pokédex list has an option to play the Pokémon's [[cry]] (without opening a new screen). From [[Generation II]] onwards, the Pokémon's cry is available once the player enters the Pokémon entry.
 
In most games from [[Generation III]] onwards, the Pokémon's cry option (available from the Pokémon entry page) now brings the player to a separate page, which displays the sound wave as it is played. However, there is no Cry page in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, or SoulSilver}}.  
 
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Cry has a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop.
 
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player can change the filters put on cries by using the gyro sensors on their controllers, as opposed to a touch screen.
 
====Area====
In [[Generation I]], the "Area" option displays the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon can be found; in cases where the Pokémon is not available in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, is only available {{pkmn2|Legendary|once}}, or can only be found by [[fishing]] or in [[Cerulean Cave]], the message '''<sc>Area Unknown</sc>''' (Japanese: '''{{j|せいそくち　ふめい}}''' ''Habitat Unknown'') will be displayed over the center of the map instead.
 
In [[Generation II]], the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|new Pokédex]] instead displays an unmarked map in place of the aforementioned message. Furthermore, it is possible to switch between [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] using the ← or → buttons when the current map is Kanto or Johto, respectively. The flashing indicators can also be omitted and replaced with the player's current position by pressing the '''SELECT''' button.
 
In [[Generation III]], the Area section was changed to highlight locations instead of just marking them and can now display the locations of Pokémon obtainable by [[fishing]].
 
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Area now changes its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found normally or exclusively using [[Honey]], and the player can view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]].
 
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Area no longer defaults to the current time or differentiated for Honey due to it no longer being a mechanic.  
 
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black, White}}, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2, and White 2}}, instead of showing the time of day that a Pokémon can be caught, the Pokédex shows the seasons in which it can be found. Areas in which the Pokémon can be found flash red, and touching an area will show the methods by which it can be caught (walking in [[tall grass]], {{m|surf}}ing, or [[fishing]]).
 
====Origin====
In {{g|X and Y}}, if the player obtains a Pokémon originating from these games, the symbol in the Pokédex indicating it has been caught is a combination of the three Kalos Pokédex symbols: a pentagon with vertical blue, white, and red stripes. This resembles the {{wp|flag of France}}, the region on which Kalos is based. If a Pokémon is transferred from another game, the symbol will instead be a Poké Ball. The latter symbol can be updated to the former symbol if the player obtains a Pokémon of that species originating from Generation VI. If all Pokémon are obtained from Generation VI games, the Pokédex will be marked with a crown on the selection screen.
 
====Footprint====
From [[Generation II]] to [[Generation V]], and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, a Pokémon's entry displays its [[footprint]].
 
In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, pressing the + button on a Pokémon's entry will change their footprint from a single footprint to all footprints if available, showing whether a Pokémon is bipedal or quadrupedal.
 
====Height and weight====
The Pokémon's [[height]] and [[weight]] is displayed in all [[generation]]s.
 
In [[Generation III]], a Size section was added, which displays silhouettes of the Pokémon and the [[player character]] side by side.
 
In [[Generation IV]], weight was added to the Size section, which puts the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Size now uses both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time
 
====Map and recommendations====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, in addition to a standard Pokédex function, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] includes a detailed map that can point out nearby locations of interest, and remind the player of the next objective based on recent conversations with NPCs.
 
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, once per day, the Pokédex will give the player a recommended place to look for Pokémon to complete their Pokédex; these recommendations globally increase the encounter rates of the recommended species, excluding [[wanderer]] and [[curry]] encounters.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1457093417201283089</ref> When in an area where the recommended species can be encountered, the bonus has 50% chance to activate and attempt to spawn a recommended species, with a 25% chance for each of the 4 recommended species slots being selected. This fails if it lands on a blank recommendation slot, or a species that doesn't spawn in the current encounter pool, in which case it defaults to the normal encounter pool.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1457093429050187778?s=20</ref> This bonus only affects the first form of a recommended species, determined by the [[index number]] of the form.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1409064932113633282?s=20</ref>
As an example, {{p|Sinistea}} being recommended in the [[Old Cemetery]] would also boost the encounter rate of Sinistea in [[Glimwood Tangle]], but only for Phony Form Sinistea, not Antique Form.
 
====Printing entries====
In {{game|Yellow}}, {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Gold, Silver}}, and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], it is possible to print entries of caught Pokémon using the [[Game Boy Printer]].
 
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] version of those games, the Game Boy Printer features still appear in-game but are not functional.

===Pokémon Bank===
===Pokémon Bank===
As part of its version 1.3 update to be compatible with [[Generation VII]], a National Pokédex feature was also added to {{g|Bank}}. Bank's National Pokédex is able to display Pokédex entries from any Generation VI game as well as Pokémon Sun and Moon. The Pokédex is updated based on the data of any game that is used to connect to Pokémon Bank.
[[Pokémon Bank]]'s National Pokédex has an extensive search feature, including the ability to filter Pokémon by the games they are naturally available in (not counting the possibility of obtaining a Pokémon by breeding or evolving), as well as the ability to show the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]], "{{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|III|Good Old Hoenn}}", [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]], {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black 2 and White 2|Unova}}, [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos]] (divided into Central, Coastal, and Mountain), {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|VI|Hoenn}}, and {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Sun and Moon|Alola}} Pokédex orders. While the application has since been updated to be compatible with {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and later, {{g|HOME}}, the Pokédex was never updated to include the Pokémon and Pokédex from the former two games.

===Pokémon HOME===
{{Incomplete|section|verify Bank->Home not syncing with Poipole and co. - they are present in Bank's National Dex list; they just have blank Pokédex entries. Their height/weight/etc. are still there}}
{{g|HOME}} has a Pokédex feature.
{{g|HOME}} includes the full National Pokédex. It includes every Pokédex description since {{g|X and Y}}, for each Pokémon. Completing the National Pokédex up to {{p|Eternatus}} (including [[Mythical Pokémon]]) makes the player eligible to {{DL|List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)|Magearna|receive}} an {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}}, made available for the first time in this alternate form.


When the player makes contact with a {{g|Bank}} account for the first time, their National Pokédex on HOME will update and sync to include the entries on their National Pokédex from Bank up to {{p|Marshadow}}. Because Bank's National Pokédex was never updated to include Pokémon beyond that, this feature does not extend to {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, {{p|Blacephalon}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}.{{fact}}
Pokédex entries from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} like in the game itself only appear when the player reaches research level 10 by completing a certain amount of research tasks.
Pokémon HOME also includes several Pokédex entries for {{g|Sword and Shield}} that are not actually present in the games. This includes all Pokémon that were {{DL|List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Since Version 1.0.0|present}} in the 1.0 versions of the games, but did not actually appear in the game's Pokédex.

The {{DL|PC|card album}} in the [[PC]] works in a similar way to the Pokédex in the [[core series]] games. The album lists cards in order and displays the quantity of cards owned by the player.

This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese cards (HANDY505 and HANDY808 respectively), did not show these model numbers on the English card. The Generation V Pokédex has no model number even in the Japanese card; it also has the same effect and English name as the Generation I Pokédex. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arrange them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choose one to put in their hand.
