Entries

The entries for each Pokémon are in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with another Pokémon. The Pokémon's name is at the top of the entry, with the category written underneath it.

Stats

Each Pokémon has the following stats below its name:

1. Type
2. Description
3. How to say it
4. Height (imperial and metric)
5. Weight (imperial and metric)
6. Possible Moves (moves the Pokémon will learn by leveling up)

Image and other information

Each Pokémon has an anime-style picture on its page. Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are labeled as such along the outer margin of the page.

Evolution chain

At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary family. Pokémon that do not evolve instead have the words "Does not evolve". A Pokémon that is on one side of a branched evolution will show itself, and the Pokémon it evolved from, but not the other side of the branch. Any evolutions or pre-evolutions introduced in later generations are not included.

Errors

• Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan's pages incorrectly state that the former evolves into the latter.
• Jynx's entry lists Perish Song twice.
• Mr. Mime's entry lists it as pure Psychic-type rather than Psychic/Fairy. While Mr. Mime was a pure Psychic-type prior to Generation VI, it no longer was at the time of this book's publication.
• The back cover states "Stats and facts on Pokémon, from Bulbasaur to Mewtwo", even though the last Pokémon listed is Mew.
• Poliwrath's entry lists it as a pure Water-type rather than Water/Fighting.
