Trivia

• In Generations I and II, there were two "Rat Pokémon" (Rattata and Raticate) and four "Mouse Pokémon" (Pikachu, Raichu, Sandshrew, and Sandslash) even though they shared the same Japanese category: 「ねずみポケモン」. From Generation III onwards, they are all known as "Mouse Pokémon".
• If "Mouse Pokémon" and "Rat Pokémon" are counted as the same category (which has always been the case in Japanese), then this was the most abundant category in Generation I games, shared by 6 Pokémon. If those two categories are counted separately, then "Dragon Pokémon" was the most abundant category instead in this generation, shared by 5 Pokémon.
  • If "Mouse Pokémon" and "Rat Pokémon" are counted as the same category, then this was one of the most abundant categories in Generation II, shared by 6 Pokémon, while "Dragon Pokémon" was shared by 6 Pokémon as well. If "Mouse Pokémon" and "Rat Pokémon" are counted as separate categories, then "Dragon Pokémon" was the single most abundant category.
  • From Generation III to VIII, "Dragon Pokémon" was the most abundant category. It was shared by 7 Pokémon in Generations III–V, and 8 Pokémon in Generations VI–VIII.
  • In Generation IX, "Paradox Pokémon" became the most abundant category, with it being shared by 22 Pokémon overall.
