National Pokédex number
all Pokémon in one place
In the Pokémon world, the National Pokédex number refers to the unique identification number assigned to each Pokémon species in the National Pokédex. The National Pokédex is a comprehensive Pokédex that includes entries for all known Pokémon species across various regions.
Each Pokémon species is assigned a specific number in the National Pokédex, and this number is used to organize and catalog Pokémon systematically. The National Pokédex number is not tied to any particular region, instead, it encompasses all Pokémon species from different generations and regions.
For example, Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex, so its National Pokédex number is 0001. As new Pokémon are introduced in different generations of the Pokémon games, they are assigned consecutive numbers in the National Pokédex based on the order in which they were discovered or introduced.
