Search every Pokemon by name or number, filter by type or generation, and view base stats, types, and abilities. Perfect for planning your next Nuzlocke encounter or team.
This Pokedex is built specifically for Nuzlocke runners. Every Pokemon card shows its National Dex number, types, and opens to reveal full base stats and abilities — the three data points that matter most when you catch something new and need to decide whether to use it, box it, or release it.
Search: Type any name or dex number in the search box. Partial matches work, so typing "char" finds Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Charjabug, and so on.
Type filter: Click any of the 18 type buttons to show only Pokemon of that type. Great for finding coverage when your team has a weakness.
Generation filter: Narrow down by game generation. If you are running Emerald (Gen 3), filter to Gens 1-3 to see only available Pokemon.
Click any Pokemon to see detailed base stats, the stat total (BST), and ability list including hidden abilities.
Base stats are the single best predictor of how useful a Pokemon will be in your Nuzlocke. The six stats are HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, summed up as Base Stat Total (BST).
BST tiers for Nuzlocke viability:
Under 400 BST: Usually first-form Pokemon or specialized walls. Often evolve into something stronger. Check the evolution line before committing.
400-499 BST: Reliable middle-tier Pokemon. Most fully evolved regular Pokemon land here. Solid team members.
500-599 BST: Strong fully evolved Pokemon. These are the backbone of most winning Nuzlocke teams.
600+ BST: Pseudo-legendaries (Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Dragapult, etc.) and legendaries. These are your late-game win conditions.
Within a Pokemon, look at the stat distribution. A Pokemon with 130 Speed and 50 Defense is a glass cannon that outspeeds almost everything but faints to one hit. A Pokemon with 120 Defense and 30 Speed is a tank that takes hits but moves last. Match the role to what your team needs.
Most Pokemon have two normal abilities plus one hidden ability (marked with H in the detail view). Hidden abilities are often far better than standard ones. Some examples that define competitive and Nuzlocke play:
Gardevoir — Trace: Copies opponent ability, often turning the matchup in your favor.
Breloom — Poison Heal: Heals 1/8 HP per turn when poisoned. With Toxic Orb this is broken.
Gyarados — Moxie: Attack rises after every KO. Snowballs through weak teams.
Excadrill — Sand Rush: Doubles Speed in sandstorm. Faster than Mega Lopunny.
Azumarill — Huge Power: Doubles Attack. Turns a 50 Atk base into 100, effectively 200.
In most games, hidden abilities require specific capture methods (DexNav chains in ORAS, Max Raids in Sword/Shield, Friend Safari in X/Y, or Hidden Grottos in Black 2/White 2). In Gens 3-5 main games they are not available through normal play.
Gen 1 (Kanto): Limited movepool and no Dark type mean Psychic Pokemon dominate. Alakazam, Gengar, and Tauros are top picks. Miss Gyarados and you are in trouble at Misty.
Gen 2 (Johto): Added Dark and Steel types. Scizor, Ampharos, and Heracross become accessible. Kanto postgame gives you legendary beasts.
Gen 3 (Hoenn): Physical/special split is still based on type, so be careful. Gardevoir, Swampert, Salamence, Metagross are S-tier.
Gen 4 (Sinnoh): Physical/special split by move is introduced. Garchomp, Lucario, and Infernape dominate. Also the hardest Elite Four of the main series.
Gen 5 (Unova): Huge new dex of strong Pokemon. Excadrill, Volcarona, Haxorus, and Krookodile are standouts. Black 2 and White 2 have the hardest gyms.
Gen 6-9: Fairy type added in Gen 6. Mega Evolutions, Z-moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization add mechanical depth. Later gens also give you faster EXP curves and easier access to good ability sets.
