A visual tour of all 905

Pokémon

In 1996 the first Pokémon games went on sale in Japan: Pokémon Green, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue.

That first generation of the game had 151 Pokémon.

Since then the Pokédex has kept on growing, and after 8 generations it now has 905 Pokémon.

The growth hasn't been steady: the number of new Pokémon has varied from one generation to the next:

Gen 1 - 151

Gen 2 - 100

Gen 3 - 135

Gen 4 - 107

Gen 5 - 156

Gen 6 - 72

Gen 7 - 88

Gen 8 - 96

The game's mechanics revolve around each Pokémon's type.

There are 18 different types in total: Bug, Dark, Dragon, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ground, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic, Rock, Steel, and Water

The five that show up most often as a first type are:

  Water - 124

  Normal - 110

  Grass - 86

  Bug - 76

  Fire - 58


And the five that show up least:

  Flying - 7

  Fairy - 22

  Ice - 28

  Steel - 30

  Dragon - 31


But on top of that, 449 Pokémon have a second type (49.6% of the total)

The ones that stand out most:

  Flying - 96

  Poison - 36

  Fairy - 33

  Psychic - 33

  Ground - 32


That means the Pokémon that are easiest to find are the ones with these types:

Water - 142

Normal - 117

Grass - 107

Flying - 103

Psychic - 91

And the hardest to find:

Ice - 41

Ghost - 52

Steel - 54

Fairy - 55

Dragon - 56

Out of all these Pokémon, two kinds stand out above the rest:

Legendary - 59

Mythical - 22

  Legendary Pokémon include Mewtwo, Lugia and Rayquaza

  And mythical ones include Mew, Celebi and Arceus
