Entries

The entries for each Pokémon are in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with another Pokémon. If a Pokémon has a Mega Evolution, it is listed immediately afterwards. Alolan Pokémon are listed after their Kantonian counterpart.

Name

Each entry is topped with a colored bar. These bars have the Pokémon's name, category and regions they can be found in (either Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos [Central, Coastal or Mountain], or Alola).

Stats

Each Pokémon has the following stats below its name:

  1. Type
  2. Description (based on its Pokédex entry)
  3. How to say it
  4. Imperial Height
  5. Imperial Weight
  6. Metric Height
  7. Metric Weight
  8. Possible Moves (moves the Pokémon will learn by leveling up)

Image and other information

Each Pokémon has an anime-style picture on its page. Legendary, Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are labelled as such under the colored bar and there is a glow around the Pokémon.

Evolution chain

At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary family, including the Pokémon's Mega Evolution. Pokémon that do not evolve instead have the words "Does not evolve". A Pokémon that is on one side of a branched evolution will show itself, and the Pokémon it evolved from, but not the other side of the branch.

Trivia

  • Unown's exclamation and question mark forms are omitted, despite having existed years before the book was printed.
  • This is the first handbook to include the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature.
