| {{p|Bulbasaur}}

| A strange seed is planted on Bulbasaur's back at birth which sprouts into a plant. The toad-esque Bulbasaur makes up for lack of size with a will of iron&mdash;especially trained by someone like Ash. This Pokémon's confidence and ensnaring vine abilities make it a powerful ally. In "Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village," Ash finds Bulbasaur to be very tough and extremely difficult to capture in the wild&mdash;but Ash finally captures it with great persistence.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 10&mdash;"[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]"

| Ivysaur is the second stage of evolution for Bulbasaur. When the bulb on its back grows large, Ivysaur appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs. In "Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village" Ash and company were treated to a wondrous surprise when they followed Bulbasaur to the Secret Garden of the Bulbasaurs...The time of evolution was upon them. Every year, the wild Bulbasaur migrate to a hidden location in the wild to evolve into Ivysaur.

| {{p|Charmander}}

| This Pokémon obviously prefers hot places. When it rains, steam is said to spout from the tip of its flaming tail. According to the Pokédex, a Charmander dies if its flame goes out. Charmander's fiery personality is sure to brighten up a cloudy day. In "Charmander - The Stray Pokémon," a Charmander is abandoned by an irresponsible trainer named Damion. Brock leads the group back into the forest to rescue it from a horrible rainstorm and attacking Spearows. Nurse Joy brings the resilient and eagerly excitable Pokémon back to health. Later, saving the group from an attack by Team Rocket, Charmander decides to abandon Damion and goes with his new friends.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 11&mdash;"[[EP011|Charmander&mdash;The Stray Pokémon]]"

In "Here Comes the Squirtle Squad," a group of unruly Squirtle briefly fall under the spell of Team Rocket and they capture Ash and his friends in an attempt to steal Ash's Pikachu. In a climactic battle, Team Rocket abandons The Squirtle Squad forcing Ash to rush to the aid of Squirtle.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 12&mdash;"[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]"

| {{p|Wartortle}}

| This is the second stage of evolution for Squirtle, and The Pokédex has very little information regarding this elusive water Pokémon. Wartortle often hides in the water to stalk unwary prey.

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 10.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Caterpie}}

| Caterpie's short feet are all tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls. In "Ash Catches a Pokémon," the playful Caterpie dreams of a flowery future where it might fly free as graceful Butterfree. As Ash's first capture, this Pokémon saves the day from a surprise attack by Team Rocket by capturing the corrupt crew in its sinewy web and sending them off to oblivion.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 3&mdash;"[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

Metapod, Go!<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 4&mdash;"[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| {{p|Butterfree}}

| Stage three of this Pokémon's evolution is the most gracious of all as the awkward shell of the Metapod bursts open and the brilliantly colored creature reveals itself to the world. In battle, Butterfree can flap its wings at high speeds to release highly toxic dust into the air. After Metapod sacrifices itself to save Ash from an attacking Beedrill in "Challenge of the Samurai," the eager trainer's innocent Metapod is ripped open by the Beedrill's stinger and a Butterfree is revealed.

| {{p|Weedle}}

| Often found in forests, eating leaves, Weedle have sharp, venomous stingers on their heads. In "Challenge of the Samurai," Dexter the Pokédex recalls encountering this shy bug Pokémon meeting up with Ash and Pikachu. As Ash traveled through the forest searching for new Pokémon, he encountered a timid Weedle. The Weedle, in a flurry of fright, climbed high up into the trees to escape.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 4&mdash;"[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| {{p|Kakuna}}

| Kakuna are the second stage of evolution for Weedle, and practically incapable of moving, this Pokémon can only harden its shell to protect itself from predators. While their powers are limited in this stage, Kakuna provided a clever camouflaged hiding place for Ash's Metapod after it was captured by a swarm of Beedrill.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 4&mdash;"[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 15.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Beedrill}}

| This Pokémon is the final stage of evolution for Weedle. Beedrill fly at incredibly high speeds and they attack using the large venomous stingers on their forelegs and tails. The troublesome Beedrill are known for their quick attacks and violent tendencies. They traditionally gather in large swarms. A thorn in the side of all creatures, these mischievous Pokémon attack with fury and speed, usually without a moment's notice. In "Challenge of the Samurai," a Beedrill entourage kidnaps Ash's Metapod and brings it back to their nest of sleeping Kakuna. Ash and company rescue Metapod, who then throws itself in front of Ash, to save him from a deadly Beedrill stinger attack.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 4&mdash;"[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 17.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Pidgeotto}}

| This is the second stage of evolution for Pidgey. Very protective of its sprawling territorial area, this Pokémon will fiercely peck at any intruder. Pidgeotto is Ash's second capture. In "Ash Catches a Pokémon," the hawk-like Pidgeotto loses its first battle with Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing, even with the electrifying Pikachu at its side. A last ditch effort by Ash's new Caterpie saves the day.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 3&mdash;"[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 18.jpg|120px]]

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 19.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Rattata}}

They then realize that the village is a great Pokémon sanctuary, where sick and abandoned Pokémon can recover and grow.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 8&mdash;"[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 20.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Raticate}}

| This is the final stage of evolution for Rattata. It uses its long whiskers to maintain its balance, and it slows down if its whiskers are cut off.

In "Battle Aboard the St. Anne," Ash and company meets a distinguished gentleman and Ash trades his Butterfree for the gentleman's Raticate.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 15&mdash;"[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 21.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Spearow}}

| When wild and untamed, a flock of Spearow Pokémon can be a frightening and deadly thing. In Ash and Pikachu's very first outing they fend off the savage birds, saving one another's lives and as a result, form their unbreakable friendship. Spearow eat insects in grassy areas and have to flap their short wings at high speeds to stay airborne.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 1&mdash;"[[EP001|Pokémon&mdash;I Choose You]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 22.jpg|120px]]

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 24.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Arbok}}

| This is the final evolutionary step for Ekans, and it is rumored that the ferocious warning markings on Arbok's belly differ from region to region. Arbok is a deadly Pokémon in the wrong hands, and Jesse<!--sic--> of Team Rocket definitely has the wrong hands. In "Dig Those Diglett," Jesse's Ekans finally evolves into the powerful Arbok, bringing tears of joy to the nasty villain's eyes.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 31&mdash;"[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 25.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Pikachu}}

| I choose you Pikachu! As Ash's first Pokémon, Pikachu makes a shocking impression on the Pokémon master-to-be.

When several of these Pokémon gather together, their electricity can build and cause lightning storms.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 1&mdash;"[[EP001|Pokémon&mdash;I Choose You]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 26.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Raichu}}

| Raichu is the final evolved form of Pikachu. Raichu's long tail serves to ground it, thereby protecting itself from its own high voltage power. In "Electric Shock Showdown!," the heroes finally arrive at Vermillion City, and discover dozens of Pokémon being treated for injuries received while battling the local gym leader Lt. Surge. Despite overwhelming odds, Ash challenges Lt. Surge and pits his Pikachu against a surprise opponent&mdash;Lt. Surge's fiercely trained and quickly evolved Raichu.

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 27.jpg|120px]]

| Sandshrew burrows deep underground in arid locations far from water, and will only emerge to hunt for food. Sandshrew is an innovative Pokémon when coached by the right trainer, like A.J.&mdash;a gym leader with unique and strenuous training methods. Sandshrew can dive and roll itself up into a ball then hurl itself at ground or airborne attackers. A.J.'s Sandshrew can withstand water due to its training with a custom built strength training harness. In "The Path to the Pokémon League," Sandshrew shows its power by splitting open the earth as it wins A.J.'s 100th battle against Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 8&mdash;"[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 29.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Nidoran♀}}

| Dexter, the Pokédex, is knowledgeable about almost all of the Pokémon in the world, but there are some that still have yet to be categorized. Nidoran, and the entire species of Nidoran, have very limited information available. The Pokédex has this to say about the female Nidoran: Although small, the Nidoran's venomous barbs render this Pokémon dangerous. The female of this species has smaller horns than the male.<br/><br/>First appearance: Ash has not yet encountered a Nidoran

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 30.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Nidorina}}

| As with the Nidoran's first evolutionary step, the Nidoran, there is very limited knowledge available for the Nidorina. Dexter has this information in The Pokédex: The female Nidoran's horns develop slowly. These Pokémon prefer physical attacks such as clawing and biting. This is the second stage of the evolution of the female Nidoran.<br/><br/>First appearance: Ash has not yet encountered a Nidorina

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 31.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Nidoqueen}}

| The Pokédex is a wealth of Pokémon knowledge and it has this to say of Nidoqueen: Its hard scales provide strong protection, and its ponderous body is surprisingly agile. Nidoqueen uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves. This is the final evolutionary step for the female Nidoran.<br/><br/>First appearance: Ash has not yet encountered a Nidoqueen

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 32.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Nidoran♂}}

| As with the female half of the Nidoran species, the Pokédex has very limited knowledge on the male half of this poison Pokémon species. Dexter has this to say of the male Nidoran: It will stiffen its ears to sense danger around it, and the larger the male's horns, the more powerful its secreted venom.<br/><br/>First appearance: Ash has not yet encountered a Nidoran

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 33.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Nidorino}}

| This is the second stage of evolution for the male Nidoran. Nidorano<!--sic--> is an aggressive Pokémon that is quick to attack, and the horn on its head secretes a very powerful venom. If the Pokémon League could find a Nidorino in the wild to study, numerous questions would be answered, like, "Do the Nidorino's spikes shed when it evolves, or does the Nidorino's poison work on other Nidorino?" These are questions we may never know the answer to.<br/><br/>First appearance: Ash has not yet encountered a Nidorino

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 34.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Nidoking}}

| This is the final, and most powerful evolutionary stage for the male Nidoran, and this creature is truly the king of all that it surveys. Nidoking uses its powerful tail in battle to smash, constrict and then break the bones of whatever had attacked it. The Pokédex has very little information on this powerful Pokémon and the rest of its remarkable species. Perhaps one day a Pokémon master will capture one of them to study...<br/><br/>First appearance: Ash has not yet encountered a Nidoking

The tail then splits from its tip as the creature grows older.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 28&mdash;"[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 38.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Ninetales|Ninetails}}{{tt|*|sic}}

| This Pokémon is the final evolved form of a Vulpix. Ninetails is very smart and very vengeful, grabbing one of its many tails could result in a 1,000-year curse. The Pokédex has almost no information on this fire Pokémon. As with many Pokémon, Ninetails can't be found in the wild at all - to obtain one, one must nurture a Vulpix until it evolves.<br/><br/>First appearance: Ash has not yet encountered a Ninetails

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 39.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Jigglypuff}}

| When Jigglypuff's huge eyes light up, its beautiful siren song will soothe the savage beast, if you can stay awake long enough to hear its melodious and calming offerings. The tempermental<!--sic--> creature gets frustrated, however, because its audience can never stay awake for an entire song. Jigglypuff has been known to draw vandalistic graffiti on the faces of its sleeping audience in frustration.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 45&mdash;"[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff!]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 40.jpg|120px]]

Moon, our band of heroes rescue a researcher named Seymour who is being attacked by a vast number of Zubat.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 6&mdash;"[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]"

|- style="background:#fff"

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 43.jpg|120px]]

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 44.jpg|120px]]

| {{p|Gloom}}

| Gloom is the second evolutionary stage for Oddish. The fluid that oozes from Gloom's mouth is not drool, it is a sweet nectar that is used to attract prey.

|- style="background:#fff"

| [[File:Topps chrome 1 45.jpg|120px]]

Ash and the ninja combine forces to repel the bungling bad guys - and Ash earns his next badge!<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 32&mdash;"[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]"

|- style="background:#fff"
