The [[Pokédex]] lists a weight for each Pokémon species. In English, weight is displayed in {{wp|Pound (mass)|pounds}} (to one decimal place); in all other languages, it is displayed in {{wp|kilogram}}s (to one decimal place). All game mechanics based on weight use kilograms for their calculations.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] (like in [[Pokémon GO]]), each individual Pokémon has its own weight, with the value in the Pokédex simply being an average weight for Pokémon of that species.<!-- Pokémon that weigh more than 125% of the average for their species are classified as XL, and Pokémon that weight less than 75% of the average are classified as XS; this designation has no in-game significance, other than such Pokémon being highlighted before being caught.-->

From [[Generation V]] onward, there are several effects that can modify a Pokémon's weight in battle. They are applied in the order they are listed below.
From [[Generation V]] onwards, there are several effects that can modify a Pokémon's weight in battle. They are applied in the order they are listed below.
* A Pokémon that uses {{m|Autotomize}} has its base weight decreased by 100&nbsp;kg (220&nbsp;lbs.) each time it uses the move and successfully changes its {{stat|Speed}}.
* A Pokémon that uses {{m|Autotomize}} has its base weight decreased by 100&nbsp;kg (220&nbsp;lbs.) each time it uses the move and successfully changes its {{stat|Speed}}.
* A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Heavy Metal}} or {{a|Light Metal}} functions as twice or half its previously determined weight, respectively.

A Pokémon's weight cannot drop below 0.1&nbsp;kg. Weight is stored with a granularity of 0.1&nbsp;kg; if an effect halves a Pokémon's weight, the result is rounded down to the next-lower multiple of 0.1 (but cannot drop below the minimum 0.1&nbsp;kg).

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all Pokémon have a scale value ranging from 0 to 255 that affects their displayed size. However, that scale value is purely aesthetic and has no other effect on gameplay.

====Battle entry animation====
Since [[Generation V]], certain visual and sound effects are applied when a Pokémon lands on the surface of a battlefield, depending on the Pokémon's weight (ignoring weight-changing effects). {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, and Pokémon that float above the surface of the battlefield do not cause any such effects. Pokémon holding an [[Air Balloon]] also do not cause any such effects, even if the item's function is being suppressed by {{a|Klutz}} or {{m|Magic Room}}.

In Generation VI and VII:
* Quiet landing noise for Pokémon weighing 49.9&nbsp;kg (110.0&nbsp;lbs.) or less. <!--to Hitmonlee-->
* Louder landing noise for Pokémon weighing between 50&nbsp;kg (110.2&nbsp;lbs.) and 99.9kg (220.3&nbsp;lbs.) <!--from Zweilous to Bergmite-->
* Heavy landing noise and a small dust cloud for Pokémon weighing between 100&nbsp;kg (220.5&nbsp;lbs.) and 199.9kg (440.7&nbsp;lbs.) <!--from Venusaur to Ho-Oh-->
* Deeper heavy landing noise and a large dust cloud for Pokémon weighing 200&nbsp;kg (440.9&nbsp;lbs.) or more <!---from Crustle!--->


When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed, it is sent out from a Dynamaxed Poké Ball and causing a landing visual effect (unless the Pokémon cannot land on the ground, such as {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}). This visual effect is unaffected by weight.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], in the "Compare" section of the Pokédex, if the player taps a Pokémon's menu sprite, ten simplified {{type|Flying}} Pokémon sprites will fly onto the screen, encircle and lift the Pokémon's model up, before dropping, with a number of them flying off the screen, with the number remaining depending on the Pokémon's weight; more Flying-type Pokémon will remain for heavier Pokémon. If the Pokémon is {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, or {{me|Gengar}}, the Flying-type Pokémon will all disperse before even attempting to lift it.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}} weighs 6.0&nbsp;kg instead of 60.0&nbsp;kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance.
* In the Japanese game {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}, {{p|Geodude}} weighs 2.0&nbsp;kg instead of 20.0&nbsp;kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance.
* Prior to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the displayed weight in pounds for {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Furret}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Linoone}}, {{p|Lombre}}, {{p|Torkoal}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} were incorrectly rounded down, displaying as 0.1&nbsp;lbs. lower than the correctly rounded value.
* Several [[glitch Pokémon]] from Generation I, such as [[MissingNo.]], far exceed normal weight measurements. For example, the heaviest real Pokémon weigh in at 2204.4&nbsp;lbs. (999.9&nbsp;kg), while [[MissingNo.]] weighs 3507.2&nbsp;lbs. (1590.8&nbsp;kg), and [[h POKé]] weighs 6099.0&nbsp;lbs. (2766.5&nbsp;kg).
* In {{g|Crystal}} only, there is a [[glitch]] that causes the retrieved weights of {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}} to become junk data that are, in turn, interpreted as massive weights, causing these particular Pokémon to receive the +40 capture modifier for the [[Heavy Ball]].<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L763</ref>
* The heaviest possible weight a Pokémon can have in the games is 4,408.8&nbsp;lbs (1,999.8&nbsp;kg). This can be achieved by using {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Entrainment}} to give the [[Ability]] {{a|Heavy Metal}} to {{p|Cosmoem}} or {{p|Celesteela}}.
