The Pokedex page on Pokepedia.com has a search bar that filters Pokemon as you type. It works with names and National Pokedex numbers, and it covers every Pokemon from Kanto to the latest generation. You don't need to press Enter or wait for the page to reload. Results show up instantly.

The Pokedex has a type filter in the left sidebar. It covers all 18 types: Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel, and Fairy. Pick one and the grid shows only Pokemon of that type.

Besides type filters, you can filter by game and by evolution stage. The game filter shows only Pokemon available in a specific title. The evolution stage filter shows only basic, Stage 1, Stage 2, or non-evolving Pokemon. Both are in the left sidebar on the Pokedex page.

There are four sort options on the Pokedex page. The dropdown is above the Pokemon grid and works alongside search and filters.

Pokepedia.com has a separate Pokedex page for every mainline Pokemon game. Each one shows only the Pokemon available in that game. If you want to know exactly what you can catch in Pokemon Yellow or Pokemon Scarlet, these pages have the answer.

There are Pokedex pages for every Pokemon region. Each one lists only Pokemon found in that region, using regional Pokedex numbers instead of National numbers. Over 30 regions are covered.

There's a Pokedex page for every Pokemon generation. Each one shows only the Pokemon introduced in that generation, listed with their National Pokedex numbers. Good for browsing Pokemon by the era they first appeared.

You can stack filters on the Pokedex page. Type, game, evolution stage, and search all work together. Each filter narrows the results further, and the counter updates in real time so you always know how many Pokemon match.

The Pokedex uses pagination. Instead of loading every Pokemon at once, it shows a set per page with navigation buttons at the bottom. Pagination works with all active filters and sorting.

The compare tool puts two Pokemon next to each other and works out who wins what. Stats, type matchup, moves they both learn, games they both appear in. Every matchup also gets its own URL you can share.

Pick one Pokemon in each slot and the comparison renders as soon as both are filled. You can swap either one at any time without losing your scroll position.

The stat section shows both Pokemon's base stats side by side. Wins are highlighted in red with the point difference. At the bottom, the total row shows who has the better overall statline.

The Move overlap section shows the moves both Pokemon learn, plus the moves unique to each. This accounts for every game in the series, so it's the full possible movepool, not just one game.

Every matchup has its own permanent URL. The pattern is /compare-pokemon/[first]-vs-[second], so Pikachu vs Raichu lives at /compare-pokemon/pikachu-vs-raichu. Copy it from the address bar.

The Games page is a grid of every main-series Pokemon game, from Red and Blue on Game Boy to Scarlet and Violet on Switch. Each card shows the cover, release date, and platform. Click any card to jump into that game's Pokedex.

Two ways to get to a game's Pokedex: through the Games page, or via the URL pattern /pokemon-[game]-pokedex. Both go to the same page.

Pokepedia.com is a free online Pokedex and Pokemon tracker. It covers every Pokemon from Kanto to the latest generation. You can browse the full National Pokedex, look up detailed info on any Pokemon, generate random Pokemon, and track what you've caught across every mainline game. Everything runs in your browser. No account needed, no data sent anywhere. Your Pokedex, your device, your rules.

Yes. Everything on Pokepedia.com is free. The full Pokedex, every detail page, the Random Pokemon generator, and the Tracker with import and export are all available to everyone at no cost. There are no paywalls and no locked features.

No. Pokepedia.com doesn't have accounts, logins, or registration. Everything works straight from your browser. Your tracker data, caught Pokemon, shiny markers, and notes are saved locally on your device. Nobody else can see them. Your data never leaves your machine.

Pokepedia.com works on all modern browsers. It's a responsive web app, so it runs on desktop and mobile without installing anything. If your browser handles JavaScript and modern web standards, you're good.

The site works right away. No account, no download, no setup. Open it in your browser and every feature is ready. Here's a quick walkthrough of what's available.

Whether you have an iPhone or an Android, the answer is yes. Pokepedia.com is a responsive web app. It adjusts for smaller screens automatically. No app to download. Just open it in your phone's browser and you get every feature.

Pokepedia.com shows ads because it costs real money and resources to build and run. Server costs, API infrastructure, development time, ongoing maintenance, keeping up with new Pokemon releases. Ads are the only revenue source. And in exchange, every single feature is free. Nothing is locked, nothing is held back, nothing is limited. You get everything whether you pay or not. But if you want the ads gone, there's a Premium option.

Pokepedia is independent. Built and maintained by a small team (currently one person) who wanted a modern Pokemon toolkit that didn't look like it was designed in 2004. It's not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokemon Company. Just a fan project, built with care.

The contact form is the easiest way. It goes straight to the inbox and gets a reply within a few days. Use it for bug reports, feature requests, takedown notices, or anything else.

Your data lives in your browser. If you clear your browser data, it's gone. The export feature downloads your full collection as a JSON file so you have a backup. It includes every catch, shiny status, and note.

The import feature restores a backup you exported earlier. Useful for switching browsers, setting up a new device, or recovering after clearing your data. It reads the JSON file and loads everything back in.

All your data is in your browser's local storage. That's a built-in browser feature that saves data on your device. Nothing goes to a server. No account involved. Nobody else can access it.

JSON. It stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It's a standard data format that's both human-readable and machine-readable. The export file has your full tracker snapshot: caught Pokemon, shiny status, game associations, and notes.

Yes. All your data stays on your device. Tracker data is stored in your browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to a server. No account exists. Nobody can see your collection.

The Pokemon Merchandise page is a curated list of Pokemon gifts, plushies, and collectibles. Each item has a photo, a short description, and a link to buy. It's not a store Pokepedia runs. It's a list of things worth knowing exist.

Some of the merchandise links are affiliate links. When you buy through them, Pokepedia might earn a small commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. Whether a specific product is affiliate-tagged depends on the retailer.

Every Pokemon has its own detail page. There's a fixed header at the top that stays visible as you scroll, and a tabbed content area below. It's where all the data lives.

Every Pokemon has a base stats section showing HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Each stat has a number and a visual bar so you can read strengths and weaknesses at a glance.

Every detail page shows the full evolution chain. You'll see each stage from the base form to the final evolution, what triggers each step, and you can click any Pokemon in the chain to jump to its page.

Every detail page has a Strengths and Weaknesses section. It breaks down which types deal extra damage to a Pokemon and which ones it resists or shrugs off entirely.

A lot of Pokemon have alternate forms, regional variants, Mega Evolutions, or Gigantamax forms. The detail page shows all of them with images and names. If a Pokemon has variants, they're all in one place.

Every detail page shows which games a Pokemon can be found in, along with its Pokedex number in each one. Useful for knowing which titles include a specific Pokemon.

There are several ways to move between Pokemon without going back to the Pokedex every time. You can browse sequentially, jump through evolution chains, or switch games and generations from the same page.

Pokemon sprites changed across generations and games. You can browse these different versions on the detail page. Front sprites, back sprites, and shiny variants for each game a Pokemon appeared in.

The detail page shows encounter location data per game. It tells you where to find a Pokemon, what method to use, and any special conditions. The data comes from the official PokeAPI.

The detail page shows how a Pokemon learns each of its moves in a specific game. It focuses on the acquisition method: level up, TM, breeding, tutor, and so on. Not move stats like power or accuracy.

There's a Random Pokemon generator on Pokepedia.com that picks from the National Pokedex. Use it as-is for a totally random pick, or apply filters to control the pool. It also generates full teams of six at once.

The random generator has seven filters. You can narrow the pool by generation, region, type, category, evolution stage, natures, and genders. Mix and match to get exactly the kind of random result you want.

The Random Pokemon generator can build a full team of six at once. Useful for randomized playthroughs, Nuzlocke runs, or just seeing what kind of squad you end up with.

Yes. The random generator has a Category filter for exactly this. You can limit the pool to Legendary only, Mythical only, or exclude both entirely.

The Team Planner is a tool for building a six-Pokemon party and seeing where it breaks down. You pick a game, drop Pokemon into slots, and it tells you what types your team is weak to and where your coverage is thin. It's the thing most Pokedex sites don't have, and it's what I wish I had the first time I tried to build a Scarlet team without looking up every matchup by hand.

The game you pick decides which Pokemon are eligible. The planner won't let you drop Scarlet-only Pokemon into a Pokemon Red team, because that would lead to team builds you can't actually use. There's also an All Pokemon option if you want to build without restrictions.

Defensive coverage is the main reason the Team Planner exists. After you drop in your six Pokemon, the panel at the bottom shows how your team responds to every single damage type. Three groupings: wide open, shaky, and solid.

When the planner flags a type in red or amber, it's telling you something specific about how your team will lose. Here's what each color actually means.

The Randomize button picks six random Pokemon from whichever game you selected. Useful for nuzlockes, random challenges, or just seeing what a team of chaos looks like.

The Tracker on Pokepedia.com is a personal collection manager. You log every Pokemon you've caught across every mainline game. Mark catches, track shinies separately, add notes, and watch your completion progress across games, regions, and the overall National Pokedex. Everything saves in your browser. No account needed.

Marking a Pokemon as caught changes its sprite from grey to full color and updates your stats. The process works a bit differently depending on whether you're in the main tracker view or a game view.

Shiny Pokemon are tracked separately from regular catches. Shiny entries get their own indicator and count toward dedicated shiny stats. There are two shiny metrics: Total Shiny Caught and Unique Shiny Caught. One thing to note: shiny tracking isn't available for Generation 1 games because shinies didn't exist back then.

Catches are tracked separately for every game. Catching Pikachu in Yellow and catching Pikachu in Silver are two independent entries. You can see progress per game, check what's missing, and work toward completing any individual title's Pokedex.

You can attach personal notes to any Pokemon in the Tracker. Where you caught it, what method you used, trade details, whatever you want to remember. Notes save alongside your catch data and are included when you export.

The Tracker page shows five main stats at the top plus progress bars for every game and region. Everything updates in real time as you log catches.

The Tracker has multiple filter options for narrowing down the table. Filter by catch status, shiny status, game, or region. Useful for finding what you're missing or reviewing specific parts of your collection.

You don't have to go to the Tracker to log a catch. Each detail page has a Capture button that marks the Pokemon as caught for the game you're currently viewing.

The Tracker works at three levels: game, region, and National Pokedex. You log catches at the game level. Games roll up into regions. Regions roll up into the National Dex. You only need to mark catches per game and everything else stays in sync on its own.

The Tracker shows five stats at the top of the page. Two of them, National Dex and Total Pokemon Caught, confuse people because they count differently. Here's how each one works.

If you're playing through a specific game and want to log a bunch of catches at once, the fastest way is to use the game view in the Tracker. Instead of opening modals and picking games for each Pokemon, the game view lets you mark catches and shinies with a single click per Pokemon.

The Trainer Card Maker builds a downloadable card that looks like the classic in-game trainer card. Pick a background, upload your own photo, fill in your name and stats, add a party of six, and export it as a PNG. Nothing gets uploaded to a server. It all happens in your browser.

You have two background options: twelve preset gradients, or an image you upload. You can also flip text color between light and dark depending on what looks better on your chosen background.

The Party section in the sidebar has six slots. Each one has its own search bar so you can pick any Pokemon by name or national dex number. The card preview on the left updates instantly as you add or remove.

The Download PNG button at the bottom of the page saves the card as a high-resolution image file. It renders at 2x pixel ratio so it looks crisp on Retina and 4K screens.

Most likely your browser's local storage got cleared. All tracker data is stored locally, so anything that removes local storage also removes your catches, shinies, and notes.

That's normal. Greyed-out Pokemon are ones you haven't caught yet. The Tracker uses grey, low-opacity sprites for uncaught Pokemon and full-color sprites for caught ones.

Most likely you're looking at a Generation 1 game. Shiny Pokemon didn't exist in Red, Blue, and Yellow, so shiny sprites aren't shown in a Gen 1 context.

A few things can cause this. The search works in real time with name and number matching, but there are some things to know about how it behaves.

You can start fresh by clearing the site's local storage in your browser. This erases everything: caught Pokemon, shinies, notes, progress. It's permanent unless you have a backup.
