The Pokemon Abilities directory on Pokepedia at /pokemon-abilities lists every ability in the franchise, with a search box, generation filter, and one card per ability. There are roughly 300 abilities across Generations III through IX.

Every ability on Pokepedia has its own page at /pokemon-abilities/levitate listing every Pokemon that can have that ability, split into Regular and Hidden sections.

A regular ability is one of the one or two abilities a Pokemon can have from a normal wild encounter or in-game trade. A hidden ability is a rarer third ability, introduced in Generation V, that usually only appears from special encounters like Friend Safari, Dynamax Adventures, raids, or Mystery Gift events.

A one-time $10 payment on /ad-free unlocks ad-free access for the lifetime of Pokepedia. Checkout is handled by Stripe, and a license key is issued at the end of checkout so the same purchase can unlock ad-free on every device you own. There is no subscription and no recurring charge on the lifetime plan.

A Pokepedia ad-free license key is a 16-character code in the format PKPD-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX that is issued at the end of Stripe checkout and serves as your proof of purchase. It is tied to your order, not your browser, and is the only way to activate ad-free on a second device because Pokepedia has no user accounts. The key is delivered in three places at once: the /ad-free/success page, the Stripe receipt email, and the Pokepedia server record of your purchase.

After Stripe checkout the /ad-free/success page renders a QR code under the caption Scan on your phone. Scanning it from a phone camera opens /ad-free/restore?key=PKPD-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX on that phone and auto-submits the key, which is why activation takes one tap and no typing. The key in the QR is the same license key shown on the success page and emailed by Stripe.

Ad-free on Pokepedia is activated per device through /ad-free/restore. Paste the license key issued at checkout into the License key field, click Activate on this device, and the ad-free cookie is set in that browser for the life of the purchase. The same key can be used on every device you own. Pokepedia has no accounts, so the key itself is the credential.

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/pikachu-vs-raichu, so Pikachu vs Raichu lives at /compare-pokemon/pikachu-vs-raichu. Copy it from the address bar.

The Pokepedia Compare Pokemon page lists every ability of both Pokemon side by side, including which ones are hidden. Use it to check ability overlap before picking a team, a counter, or a competitive matchup.

Every Pokepedia matchup page has a Game availability section that lists every main-series game where both Pokemon are catchable or obtainable. Use it to plan a playthrough that lets you build a team with both Pokemon in one save file.

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-scarlet-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.

Pokepedia offers an ad-free upgrade at /ad-free for $1 per month or $10 as a one-time lifetime payment. Checkout is handled by Stripe, and a license key in the format PKPD-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is issued at the end of checkout so ad-free can be activated on any other device. No Pokepedia account is required.

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.

The Pokemon Moves database on Pokepedia at /pokemon-moves catalogues every move in the franchise, roughly 900 entries, with per-move pages listing power, accuracy, PP, and the Pokemon that learn it.

Every move on Pokepedia has its own page at /pokemon-moves/thunderbolt listing every Pokemon that can learn it through any method (level up, TM, HM, Tutor, or Egg moves).

Every Pokemon move has three core combat stats: Power, Accuracy, and PP. Power is the raw base damage of the move before type, STAB, and stat modifiers. Accuracy is the percent chance the move hits its target. PP is the number of times the move can be used before it needs restoring at a Pokemon Center or with an Ether.

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 Pokemon Generator at /random-pokemon-generator uses eight stackable filters: count, types, region, generation, evolution stage, legendary flavor, alternate forms, and a fully-evolved toggle. Every filter composes with every other, and the match counter under the Generate button updates live so you always know how large the remaining pool is before you roll.

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 Legendaries dropdown in /random-pokemon-generator controls five separate categories — Sub-Legendary, Legendary, Mythical, Paradox, and Ultra Beasts — and you can keep exactly the flavor you want. To roll only Legendaries or only Mythicals, uncheck every other row plus every type not in that flavor, then Generate.

Every filter in /random-pokemon-generator except Types and the toggles uses a multi-select dropdown. Each dropdown shows a Select All row at the top, one row per option, and a live label on the trigger that reads All {label}, No {label}, or N {label} depending on the current state. The label is your at-a-glance proof of what the generator is currently filtering on.

Paradox Pokemon, Ultra Beasts, and Sub-Legendaries are three of the five rows in the Legendaries dropdown on /random-pokemon-generator. Paradox covers the Generation 9 ancient and future forms, Ultra Beasts cover the Generation 7 Alola dimension Pokemon, and Sub-Legendaries cover Legendary trios and duos that are not strictly unique, such as the Legendary Birds, Regis, and Swords of Justice.

The Forms dropdown in /random-pokemon-generator controls three categories: Alternate Forms, Mega Evolutions, and Gigantamax Forms. Each row works as an exclude switch. Leaving a row checked allows species primarily known for that form type into the pool; unchecking a row removes them. All three are checked by default so the full 1025-species roster stays available.

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 Pokepedia Team Planner stores your six-slot team directly in the browser URL. Copy the URL to share your exact team with anyone, or paste it into another device to load the same team there. No account, no server, no save button.

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 Pokepedia Pokedex tracker stores every catch in browser localStorage on the device where you marked it. Move the data yourself with the Sync dropdown on the tracker toolbar. Pokepedia never stores tracker data on a server and never requires an account.

The Pokepedia Pokedex tracker works offline after you cache it once with the Make offline button. A service worker stores the tracker page, its JavaScript, and every default Pokemon sprite so you can mark catches with no internet connection.

The Pokepedia Trainer Card Maker is a browser tool at /pokemon-trainer-card-maker for designing a personal trainer ID card with a background, portrait, party of Pokemon, and gym badges. The card renders live in the page and exports as a PNG image.

The Background section in the right sidebar of /pokemon-trainer-card-maker sets the card backdrop. It has four tabs: Preset, Custom, Solid, and Image.

Party Pokemon on the Pokepedia trainer card are set by clicking a slot on the card itself. The picker modal lets you search the full 1025-Pokemon roster and set a nickname, level, or shiny flag.

The Pokepedia trainer card exports as a PNG image through the buttons below the card preview on /pokemon-trainer-card-maker. You can save the file, copy it to the clipboard, or reset the card.

The Background section in the right sidebar of /pokemon-trainer-card-maker controls the card backdrop. Four tabs select the backdrop type: Preset, Custom, Solid, and Image.

The Trainer image section in the right sidebar of /pokemon-trainer-card-maker sets the portrait on the left of the card. You can upload a file or paste a direct image URL.

The Badges section in the right sidebar of /pokemon-trainer-card-maker stacks gym, league, and contest badge images onto the card. You can upload several files at once or paste many URLs at once.

Slots on the Pokepedia trainer card are filled by clicking the slot itself, not by a sidebar control. The picker modal searches the full 1025-Pokemon roster.

The picker modal on /pokemon-trainer-card-maker has Nickname, Lv, and Shiny controls that apply only to the slot you are editing. The controls appear once a Pokemon is selected.

The compact control strip under the card preview on /pokemon-trainer-card-maker sets the card shape and the arrangement of the Pokemon and Badges groups. Ratio changes the card shape. Layout changes where the groups render.

The Pokemon group and the Badges group on the Pokepedia trainer card both take an optional label. Empty labels hide the label row entirely.

Three buttons sit directly under the card preview on /pokemon-trainer-card-maker: Download PNG, Copy image, and Reset. Each one acts on the whole card.

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.

The Pokedex Tracker on Pokepedia has a Clear button in the toolbar that wipes every catch, shiny mark, note, and game record from your browser in one step. You can also clear the site's local storage manually through your browser's developer tools if you want to nuke preferences too.

The Pokemon Type Chart on Pokepedia is a full 18 by 18 matrix that lists every offensive and defensive matchup between Pokemon types. It lives at /pokemon-type-chart.

On Pokepedia, type matchups are shown as damage multipliers inside each cell of the Type Chart at /pokemon-type-chart. The four possible values are 2x, 1x, 1/2x, and 0x.

Every Pokemon type has its own landing page on Pokepedia at /fire-type-pokemon, for example /fire-type-pokemon or /water-type-pokemon. These pages list every Pokemon of that type with images, dex numbers, and links to each Pokedex entry.
