List of generation I Pokémon

The first generation (generation I) of the Pokémon franchise

features the original 151 fictional species of monsters
introduced to the core video game series in the 1996 Game
Boy games Pocket Monsters Red, Green and Blue (known as
Pokémon Red, Green and Blue outside of Japan). (Later
Pokemon Yellow and Blue were released Nationally) The international logo for the Pokémon
franchise
The following list details the 151 Pokémon of generation I in
order of their National Pokédex number. The first Pokémon,
Bulbasaur, is number 0001 and the last, Mew, is number 0151. Alternate forms that result in type changes
are included for convenience. Mega evolutions and regional forms are included on the pages for the
generation in which they were introduced. MissingNo., a glitch, is also on this list.

Design and development

Pokémon are a species of fictional creatures created for the Pokémon media franchise. Developed by
Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the Japanese franchise began in 1996 with the video games
Pokémon Red and Green for the Game Boy, which were later released in North America as Pokémon Red
and Blue in 1998.[1] In these games and their sequels, the player assumes the role of a Trainer whose goal
is to capture and use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon. Some Pokémon can
transform into stronger species through a process called evolution via various means, such as exposure to
specific items.[2] Each Pokémon have one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and
disadvantages when battling other Pokémon.[3] A major goal in each game is to complete the Pokédex, a
comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading with other Trainers to obtain
individuals from all Pokémon species.[2]

The designs of each Pokémon started as pixel art sprites by the development team first, with a single
color identity chosen to work within the Super Game Boy hardware limitations.[4] With the early
development team consisting of three men,[5] character design lead Ken Sugimori brought female
developers into the project feeling they would be better able to create "cute" designs.[6] While conceived
as a group effort by multiple developers at Game Freak,[6] the finalized designs and artworks were done
by Ken Sugimori. Originally tasked with drawing the characters to illustrate a planned strategy guide by
Game Freak when the games released, Sugimori drew all the sprites for the game in his style to not only
unify their designs visually but also modify any design elements he felt were amiss, while trying to retain
the original sprite artist's unique style.[7] While some Pokémon have been attributed to certain developers
over the years, such as Atsuko Nishida for Pikachu and Motofumi Fujiwara for Eevee and its evolutions,
Game Freak has avoided attributing many Pokémon to particular individuals to keep a sense of all the
developers being involved in their creation.[6][4]
The majority of Pokémon in generation I had relatively simple designs and were similar to real-life
creatures including Pidgey (a pigeon), Krabby (a crab), Rattata (a rat), and Ekans (a snake). Many
Pokémon in the original games served as the base for repeating concepts later in the series.[8] Some
Pokémon, such as Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander were designed based on their final evolutions and
working backwards. During development they ran into issues with digital cartridge space, and many
Pokémon were removed. Specifically, several Pokémon that had a three-stage evolution line were instead
changed to evolve only once, resulting in a planned final evolution for Pikachu called "Gorochu" being
removed from the final game.[6]

When the games were localized for English-speaking audiences as Red and Blue, Nintendo of America
gave the various Pokémon species "clever and descriptive names" related to their appearance or features
as a means to make them more relatable to American children. This resulted in several pop-culture
references being worked into the character's names, such as Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, who are
references to martial arts actors Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee respectively.[9][10] Overseen by translator
Nob Ogasawara, he voiced concern over some of the choices presented, specifically "Barrierd", which
was renamed to "Mr. Mime" based on its masculine appearance.[11] Ogasawara wanted to avoid
gendered, binary names for the Pokémon species in the event genders were introduced for them in later
titles, a concern proven valid with the sequel titles Pokémon Gold and Silver.[12][13]

Pokémon, and attack its
opponents. Groups of
Pikachu having their tails
raised can inadvertedly cause
lightning storms. Cramorant

burned. Because it evolves
via a stone and Pikachu is
 more popular, Raichu are
rarely seen. It has an
Electric/Psychic-type Alolan

were created by Atsuko
Nishida.[23]

Based on the Chinese

Sandshrew pangolin, Sandshrew is

beauty. It runs agilely as if on
wings. Arcanine is known for
its great speed, as it is said to
be capable of running over
6,200 miles in a single day
 and night. The fire that blazes
within Arcanine's body is its
source of power. Legends tell
of its fighting alongside a
general and conquering a
whole country. There are so
many old tales about them
that Arcanine is spoken of
and categorized in the
Pokédex as the Legendary
Pokémon, though it is a
common wild Pokémon. Like
Growlithe, it has a Fire/Rock-
type Hisuian form.

Due to its underdeveloped

legs, it is not good at standing
or walking, so it prefers
swimming, though its trainer
should train it to walk every
day. Despite the danger, it
wants to come up on land, so
it does its best to waddle
along, but when an enemy
Poliwag finds it, it rushes back to the
Nyoromo (ニ water. Poliwag's thin skin
ョロモ) leaves its spiraling innards
(0060 (https:// Water — Poliwhirl (#0061) visible. If the swirl is tinged
www.pokemo white, that means Poliwag is
n.com/us/pok sick. Despite its thinness, its

even sharp fangs bounce off
of it. The direction of its spiral
tends to differ by area.
Poliwag experts can tell them
apart at a glance. In rivers
with fast-flowing water, it will
cling to a rock by using its
lips, which act like a suction
cup.
Poliwhirl is among the most-
marketed Pokémon.[40][41] It
can live in or out of the water,
but prefers living in water
where, it has fewer natural
enemies and more plentiful
prey. When out of water, it
Poliwhirl constantly sweats so its body

in search of bug Pokémon,
then takes them underwater
so it can safely eat them. The
spiral pattern on its belly
subtly moves, and staring at it
for too long can lead children
and Pokémon to sleep.

Slowpoke has fished up a

Shellder with its tail, which
shocked it into evolving and
made it stand on two legs.
The Shellder has transformed
into a spiral-shaped shell to
suck more sweet fluids from
the Slowbro's tail. If the

The two magnets on its side
are used for discharging
attacks and floating. It is
attracted to electromagnetic
waves from devices such as
Pokégears, and attaches
itself to power breakers.
Power outages not caused by
Magnemite storms could be the result of
a colony of Magnemite
Koiru (コイル) feeding on it. It becomes

Exposure to one can cause
earaches. Its magnetism is so
powerful it dries up moisture
in its vicinity, and is potentially
fatal to devices like TVs. As a
result, large cities have sirens
to warn their citizens of
Magneton appearances, and
trainers are warned to keep
Magneton inside their Poké
Balls. When it evolves, the
Magnemite's brains link up,
though they do not become
three times smarter. When
rain clouds form, they like to
gather in high spots where
lightning could strike. Sandy
Shocks appears to be an
ancient relative of it.

be unable to move. When two
heads sleep, one head

hearts and six lungs, giving it
increased endurance, so
while it is slower than Doduo,
 it can run for longer periods of
time.

It loves swimming around in

start dwindling. It has a
Poison/Dark-type Alolan form.

It is based on the dorotabō, a

one-eyed, three-fingered
yōkai that rises from the mud
of neglected, overgrown rice
fields. Muk is covered in a
toxic filthy sludge so vile that
any land it walks through

lurk in whatever dark corner
of a room it can find and wait
for its chance to catch its
prey. It likes to attack people
in mountains. Sometimes,
Gengar will pose as people's
shadows. It apparently wishes
for a traveling companion.
Since it may have once been
 human, it tries to create one
by taking the lives of other
humans. Initially created by
Satoshi Tajiri and Ken
Sugimori,[50][51] it has
become one of the most
popular Pokémon, placing
tenth on the Google Pokémon
of the Year 2020 poll.[52]
Kotaku's Zack Zwiezen said
Gengar was "one of [their]
favorite gen 1 designs",
calling it a "great design
[because] it's simple, yet not
boring or generic".[53] Gengar
has appeared in many
Pokémon spin-offs or
crossovers, including Pokkén
Tournament[54] and Pokémon
Unite.[55] It gained a Mega
Evolution in generation VI and
a Gigantamax form in
generation VIII.

It usually lives underground.

As it grows, the stone
portions of its body harden to
become similar to a diamond,
but colored black. Despite its
large body being over 26 feet
long, it can squirm its way
through the ground at
50 mph. As it digs through the
ground, it eats hard objects,
which makes its body more
Onix solid. Diglett may use the
Iwāku (イワー tunnels it burrows as homes.

Rock / brain, which acts as a

its body becomes increasingly
rounder and smoother. It
evolves into Steelix when
traded while holding a Metal
Coat.[8][56][57][58] While its
Defense and Speed are high,
Onix' other values are
deceptively low, making it a
relatively weak Rock-type
choice compared to Golem
and Rhydon.[59]
Drowzee Psychic — Hypno (#0097) Drowzee's design is based on
Surīpu (スリ the dream-eating tapir Baku.
It puts people to sleep with its

frequently, it might show them
dreams it ate in the past. If
someone has forgotten their
dreams, Drowzee may have
eaten them. It remembers
 every dream it has eaten, and
rarely eats the dreams of
adults because children's are
tastier.

Hypno's design is based on

the dream-eating tapir Baku
and a hypnotist. Hypno holds
a pendulum in its hand.[60]
Allegedly, there once was an
incident in which it took away
a child it hypnotized.[61] When
hungry, it puts humans it
meets to sleep, then feasts on
their dreams and carries
away anyone having good
dreams. Hypno sometimes
aid doctors in putting patients

of the species enjoy feasting

edex/0097)) humanoid design has been
cited as creepy, and a reason
why its design was
considered unappealing.[63]
Hypno's child abducting
tendencies resulted in a
popular creepypasta, dubbed
"Hypno's Lullaby" being
created, which centered
around a song focusing on
Hypno as a child thief.[63][64]
Hypno's Lullaby was adapted
into several playable
adaptations, notably ROM
hacks.[65][66][67]

Though it may look like eggs,
Exeggcute are actually
clusters of seeds. When

Exeggutor Grass / Exeggcute — It is a coconut tree-esque

debugging phase of Pokémon
Red and Green.[68] Its three
heads think independently of
each other, and become
unable to act if they disagree
on what to do. They
communicate via telepathy.
Sometimes, one of the heads
grows so big that it falls off
and becomes an Exeggcute.
Its cries are noisy due to each
head thinking about
something else. Exeggutor
are friendly, and only engage
their enemies with psychic
power when they need to. It
 has a Grass/Dragon-type
Alolan form.

Cubone wears the skull of its

deceased mother. Since it
never removes said skull, no
Cubone one has ever seen Cubone's
Karakara (カ real face. The stains on the

(0104 (https:// Ground — Marowak (#0105) tears it sheds. When it thinks
www.pokemo of its deceased mother, it
n.com/us/pok weeps loudly, and Mandibuzz
edex/0104)) that hear its cries will attack it
from the air. Its name is a
combination of "cub" and
"bone".[10]
The bone it holds is its key
weapon. It throws the bone
like a boomerang to knock out
targets. Originally a Cubone,
it overcame its mother's death
and became rough and
Marowak aggressive. Some say that a
Garagara (ガ Marowak graveyard exists

bones rhythmically to
communicate among
themselves, with nearly 50
different rhythmic patterns. It
has a Ghost/Fire-type Alolan
form.
Hitmonlee's design is based
on headless men. It may also
be based on Kabandha. Its
English name is derived from
actor and martial artist Bruce
Lee,[10] while its Japanese
name is derived from
kickboxer Tadashi Sawamura.
Hitmonlee When in a hurry, its legs
Sawamurā strengthen progressively. Its
(サワムラー) Tyrogue balance lets it attack from any

stretch to double its length.
Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan
did not have a distinct
evolutionary line until Tyrogue
and Hitmontop were
conceived. Hitmonlee evolves
from Tyrogue if it has higher
Attack than Defense.

Hitmonchan Fighting Tyrogue — Its English name is derived

Ebiwarā (エビ (#0236) from actor and martial artist
ワラー) Jackie Chan,[10] while its
(0107 (https:// Japanese name is derived
www.pokemo from boxer Hiroyuki Ebihara.
It can punch fast enough to
n.com/us/pok slice air and hard enough to
edex/0107)) break rocks, though it needs
to rest for a couple minutes
after doing so. It winds it arms
to punch harder, and punches
in a corkscrew fashion. A
Hitmonchan is said to
possess the spirit of a boxer
who had been working
towards a world
championship. It evolves from
Tyrogue if it has higher
Defense than Attack.

Instead of its hands, it uses

its long, prehensile tongue. It
paralyzes bug Pokémon by
licking them, and eats them
whole. If not immediately
washed, its licks can cause
itchy rashes. Its tongue can
Lickitung stretch up to 6 inches, and
Beroringa (ベ when it does, its tail quivers

much cleaner. Whenever
Lickitung comes across
something new, it licks it to
memorize the taste and
texture of that thing. When its
saliva is boiled, it becomes a
strong adhesive.
Koffing Koffing is based on air
Dogāsu (ドガ pollution and meteorites. It
ース) mixes its toxins with the

www.pokemo poisonous gases. Sometimes,

other regions' Weezing.

Rhyhorn Ground / — Rhydon (#0112) Because it is not good at

Saihōn (サイ Rock turning, Rhyhorn runs in a

anything in its way. Though it
(0111 (https://

n.com/us/pok head may be sore the next

1,000 times harder than those
of humans, and it can easily
send a trailer flying. As a
Pokémon with a one-track
mind, when it starts running, it
will not stop until it falls
asleep. Rhyhorn's brain is so
small and dense that it
usually forgets why it may be
running.

Rhydon was the first

Pokémon created by Game
Freak.[69] Unlike Rhyhorn, it is
bipedal. Protected by an
Rhydon armor-like hide, it can survive

While Magmar was voted the

eighth best fire-type Pokémon
by the Official Nintendo

GamesRadar had criticized its
design multiple times, noting
that its forehead resembles a
butt.[81][82] Magmar are found

body to intimidate its
opponent. When it breathes,
its temperature rises, and
when it sneezes, flames
shoot out. Magmar
dispatches its prey with fire,
but may accidentally burn
said prey to a charred crisp.
Pinsir Bug — Mega Evolution It was originally supposed to
Kairosu (カイ have an evolution called
"Plux" in generation II. Some
ロス)
speculated that this unused
(0127 (https://
design was reworked into
www.pokemo
n.com/us/pok Heracross.[83] Pinsir can use
edex/0127)) its pincers to crush, toss,
bludgeon, or tear anything up
to twice its size. Captured
prey is kept in place by the
piercing thorns and sheer
strength of Pinsir's horns, and
will not be released until they
are torn in half. If it cannot be
torn in half, it tosses it around.
In addition to hunting prey, it
also tends to enjoy tree sap.
Pinsir live in temperate
forests or jungles, and burrow
their way underground or
inside trees to avoid the cold.
In Alola, it has a rivalry with
Vikavolt, yet gets along with
Heracross. In other regions,
however, it competes with
Heracross for food. Pinsir are
known to judge each other
based on their pincers, which
also determine its popularity
with the opposite gender
based on how thick it looks. It
 gained a Mega Evolution in
generation VI.

When attacking, it violently

charges while whipping itself
with its three tails. Like
Rhyhorn, it will not stop
running until it hits something.
Although powerful, it can only
charge in a straight line. They
fight each other by locking
Tauros horns to prove their strength,
Kentarosu (ケ and the leader prides itself

in Alola. Tauros in Alola
actually have a calm side,
most likely due to the climate.
Tauros in Galar, however, are
more volatile and will not let
people ride them. It has three
Paldean forms.
Magikarp is mostly useless in
the games, until it evolves
into Gyarados. Magikarp is
based on the common
carp.[70] At level 15, Magikarp
learns Tackle. Until then, it
only knows Splash and
cannot be taught any other
moves. In the distant past, it
was somewhat stronger than
the descendants that exist
today. Despite its weakness,
Magikarp it is actually a hardy and
Koikingu (コ fertile Pokémon that can

seas, lakes, rivers, and
shallow puddles will have
many Magikarp stuck in them.
It may jump on rare
occasions, but never more
than seven feet, making it
easy for predators like
Pidgeotto to catch it mid-
jump. In rare occasions, a
Magikarp living for many
years can leap up a
mountain.
 When Magikarp evolves into
Gyarados, its brain cells
undergo a structural
transformation, said to be the
Gyarados cause of its violent nature.
Gyaradosu Throughout history, it would
appear and burn down cities,

cannot actually fly. It gained a

Lapras have gentle hearts.
Poachers drove Lapras to the
point of near-extinction,
though recent protection

been well received by critics,
and has appeared on several
lists of the best Pokémon of

However, this transformation
n.com/us/pok
edex/0132)) is often imperfect.[91] The
specific imperfections vary
from Ditto to Ditto. It does not
get along with others of the
same species, as they will
both fruitlessly try to
transform into each other.
Ditto rose in popularity with
Gold and Silver, where it was
able to "breed" with any other
Pokémon that is able to
breed, becoming vital for the
franchise's competitive scene.
It cannot breed with itself,
though.[92] Due to its
 similarities to Mew, a longtime
rumor arose that it was a
failed clone. However, this fan
theory has been denied by
Game Freak.[93]
Eevee is often considered
among the "cutest" Pokémon
in the franchise.[94][95][96][97]
Due to this, Eevee is featured
on various Pokémon-related
merchandise.[98][99][100] It is
the mascot of Pokémon: Let's
Go, Eevee! Eevee has
exclusive evolution styles,
Eevee where each evolution requires
Ībui (イーブ special requirements to occur,

www.pokemo evolutions are sometimes
n.com/us/pok referred to as "Eeveelutions".
edex/0133)) Eevee is mostly found in
highly populated areas like
cities and towns. Its unstable
genes allow it to adapt to
most habitats, and even to its
trainer, to the point of
eventually adopting a face
similar to theirs. In generation
VIII, it gained a Gigantamax
form.

Its genes and DNA are nearly

identical to water, so it can
melt away into it to hide from
foes or prey. If its fins begin to

(0134 (https:// Water Eevee (#0133) — that Vaporeon was the most

among the Pokémon

it is made entirely of

copy-protected so it cannot

in ancient seas. Archeops and

excavated from areas that

Because some Omanyte

invasive species.

Omastar is commonly
referred to as "Lord Helix"
within the community, as a
reference to Twitch Plays

Omastar Pokémon was seen as a
Omusutā (オ good-luck charm.[105]
Omastar uses its tentacles to

taking its DNA from an Old
 Amber. It flies by spreading its
wings and gliding though the
skies, to the point of being
referred to as their king. A
widely accepted theory is that
it went extinct due to a meteor
impact. Despite its strength in
the air, it is weak and slow on
the ground. Even modern
technology is still unable to
make a truly perfect
specimen. It is based on
pterodactyls and dragons or
wyverns. It gained a Mega
Evolution in generation VI.

It is carefree about
everything, and it will allow
children to play on its vast
belly while it sleeps all day.
After eating around 900
Snorlax pounds of food, it goes to
Kabigon (カビ sleep for a while. It is a large,

thorny plants or Muk's poison.
Snorlax is commonly used as
a roadblock within the games.
It gained a Gigantamax form
in generation VIII.
It is part of the Legendary
Bird Trio. The naming
conventions for this trio are
based on their type – Arctic,
Zap and Molt – along with 1,
2, 3 in Spanish – uno, dos,

It is said to appear to

point of being referred to
as its Galarian Form,
though it is actually an
unrelated Pokémon.
 It is part of the Legendary

Articuno, a similar
Fighting/Flying-type Pokémon
is referred to as its Galarian
form.

It is part of the Legendary

Bird Trio. Its design is inspired
by the firebird of Slavic
folklore.[28] It can make the
sky turn red as it flaps its fiery
wings. It is said to bring

Dark/Flying-type Pokémon is
referred to as its Galarian
form, though as with the rest
of the trio, the Pokémon are
not actually related by blood.

Dratini Dragon — Dragonair (#0148) A Dratini continually molts

Miniryū (ミニ and sloughs off its old skin
almost daily. It does so

because the life energy within

This allows Dratini to grow

longer and longer, even
reaching 6 feet in length. In
some regions, boots made
from the tanned cast-off skin
of Dratini are a luxury item.
The small lump on a Dratini's
forehead is actually an
underdeveloped horn. After a
10-hour struggle, a fisherman
was finally able to pull one up
and confirm its existence.
Though still weak, it dwells
near bodies of rapidly flowing
water, such as the plunge
pools of waterfalls to protect it
while it repeatedly sheds its
skin. It eats whatever food
 sinks down, and lives a quiet
and happy life.

Dragonair can grow the wings

on its head to fly, but can also
fly without them. It stores an
enormous amount of energy
Dragonair inside its body, and can alter
Hakuryū (ハ weather conditions in its
vicinity by discharging energy

say that seeing a Dragonair
flying around at the start of
the year is a sign that one will
be healthy all year long.
Capable of circling the globe
in just sixteen hours and with
the intelligence of a human,
tales of this kindhearted
Pokémon leading lost and
Dragonite foundering ships to the safety
of land are commonplace. It is
Kairyū (カイ

this, a ship's captain dubbed
it "the sea incarnate", and
figureheads that resemble
Dragonite now decorate the
bows of many ships.

It is a playable character in
Super Smash Bros. Melee,
Super Smash Bros. for
Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Mewtwo originated from the

that it can unleash its full
power in battle. In generation

Mew Psychic No evolution This mythical Pokémon is so

Myū (ミュウ) rare, only a few experts
(0151 (https:// worldwide have found it,
www.pokemo though a growing number of
n.com/us/pok people have reportedly seen

originates from South
 America. It is said that it
appears only to those who
have a true heart and a
strong passion to see it. Its
DNA is said to contain the
genetic code of every
Pokémon and every move.
Because of this, many
scientists believe that it is the
ancestor of all Pokémon. Its
fine, small, and delicate hairs
can be viewed with a
microscope. It is capable of
turning invisible at will so that
people are unaware of its
presence. It is considered one
of the original progenitor
Pokémon, as all Pokémon are
said to have descended from
Mew.

An error handler whose name
