'''''The Official Pokémon Handbook #3''''', edited by Josh Izzo and Stephanie Howze, is an edition of ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' series that was published in September 2001. It served as a paper form of the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]]. It contained an entry for all the [[Generation II]] Pokémon, excluding {{p|Celebi}}.

Each entry is topped with a large, oddly shaped box. It has the Pokémon's name, [[Pokédex]] number, and its {{pkmn|category}} (e.g. Aqua Rabbit Pokémon for {{p|Azumarill}}). On the side of each page is a section that has many facts about the Pokémon itself. Other features include a summary, a picture of the Pokémon, and various sprites of that Pokémon.

# [[Type]]

# Techniques (the basic and most commonly used [[move]]s of that Pokémon)

Each Pokémon has a picture on its page and some pages also feature a "Pokédex Pick," with extra facts about the Pokémon that relate to the anime or sometimes have helpful information.

At the very bottom of each entry are pictures with arrows between them to show what the Pokémon evolves into. Pokémon that do not evolve do not have an evolution chain.

The book includes a section called ''A word from [[Professor Oak]]'', similar to his speeches that welcomed players into games, but greater in length. It also features a map and summary of the Johto region. There are also [[Johto]] and [[Indigo League]] comparisons of [[Badge]]s, etc. The Pokémon types are also explained, and the types of all {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|Generation I}} and {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|II Pokémon}} are listed. There are snapshots of the [[Pokémon anime]] toward the end of the book. The last three pages are a Pokémon catching checklist and a brief story about the one Pokémon not entirely featured in the book, {{p|Celebi}}.

**In this same section, {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Heracross}} are not listed at all.

*{{p|Blissey}} has the non-existent move "Slap" listed, presumably a misprint of {{m|Double Slap}}.

*{{p|Gligar}} has the non-existent move "Sand Throw" listed, presumably a misprint of {{m|Sand Attack}}; and {{m|Bite}}, which it cannot learn, listed among its attacks.

*{{p|Ho-Oh}} has the non-existent move "Normal" listed.
