At the core of the multi-billion dollar Pokémon media franchise of various electronic games, ongoing anime, several manga series, collectible cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri are 493 distinctive fictional species classified as the titular Pokémon. These creatures and entities reside throughout the various regions of the fictional Pokémon world and can be caught by humans designated as Pokémon Trainers, and Trainers use Pokémon for a variety of purposes, such as being pets and loyal companions and/or being pitted against other trained Pokémon in competitive Pokémon battles. Pokémon are potentially powerful and magical creatures that can employ a variety of talents such as generating fire or heat, martial arts, telekinesis, and so on, and through age and experience many species undergo a metamorphosis and transform into a similar but stronger specie in a process referred to as Pokémon evolution.
This is a selected listing of twenty of the Pokémon species, arranged as they are in the main game series' National Pokédex.
Zubat
Zubat (ズバット, Zubatto) are a basic bat Pokémon species found commonly in the wild in most caves in all the regions of the Pokémon world. In caves and other dark places it navigates using ultrasonic waves. It appears that Zubat is weakened by sunlight, so it hides in caves or other dark places. At night, it will come out and hunt for fruit or Venomoth, or it sucks blood. The female's fangs are smaller than the male's
In the Anime, Brock catches a Zubat before entering Mt Moon. Since then it has evolved to Golbat and then into Crobat. Crobat was given to Forest, with Onix and Geodude by Brock, becoming a Gym Leader
Golbat
Golbat (ゴルバット, Gorubatto) are a larger, stronger, and more developed form that Zubat take on when they gain enough experience. In the main Pokémon game series, a Golbat is acquired when a Zubat grows past experience level 25 and is evolved into a Golbat. Golbats are found in some cave areas.
Golbat is a fierce nocturnal Pokémon, residing in the darkness of caves, and is most active in the pitch black of night, especially if the moon is in its new phase. It is widely known and despised for its feeding behavior: Sucking fresh blood from living things in large quantities. Once it has found a living target, it attacks in a stealthy manner, often striking without warning from behind, to harshly bite down on its prey with its four sharp fangs strong enough to puncture the hide of any animal-like Pokémon, however strong the hide might be. It then proceeds to drink ten ounces of blood instantly. Golbat enjoys blood so much that it does not want to stop, even though a lot of blood will weigh it down enough so that, if it is able to even fly afterwards, it flies clumsily.
Surprisingly, after each attack and feeding sequence, Golbat’s own blood type changes into that of its victim. Once it strikes, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly. Like Zubat, the female's fangs are smaller than the male's.
Oddish
Oddish (ナゾノクサ, Nazonokusa in original Japanese language versions) are a weed-like Pokemon found in all regions throughout the Pokémon world. (with the exception of Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Leaf Green) Oddish looks like a small animated onion/turnip plant. Its body is blue, purple or black with two small feet and red eyes. On top of its head grows a large clump of 5 long green leaves.
Oddish is a nocturnal Pokémon, using moonlight rather than the sun's rays for photosynthesis. During the day, Oddish avoids the sun's heat and brightness by burying itself into the earth, leaving only the leaves on top of its head visible above ground. In this way it disguises itself as a plant, misdirecting its carnivorous diurnal predators.
While buried, Oddish nourishes itself by absorbing nutrients from the soil using its feet, which are said to temporarily change into a root-like structure for this purpose.
If anyone pulls at Oddish's leaves and tries to uproot it while it is buried underground, Oddish will react by shrieking in a cute, high-pitched voice. This mirrors the behavior of the legendary mandrake in a similar situation, although it seems that Oddish's squeaks do not have the same dire consequences as a mandrake's.
Gloom
Gloom (クサイハナ, Kusaihana in original Japanese language versions) is a flower like Pokemon that is a larger and stronger evolution of Oddish. Glooms are obtained when an Oddish gains enough experience to grow up to level 21. Gloom can also be found in most grassy areas of most regions.
The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a sweet nectar that is used to attract prey. Once the prey is attracted, the nectar will cling to the prey, trapping it. The nectar mostly attracts prey that lack a sense of smell, as the nectar smells horrible.
As well as its nectar, the pistil of Gloom's flower smells incredibly foul; it can be smelled from over a mile away. It has been found that approximately 1 in 1,000 people enjoy the scent that Gloom emits. Those that don't enjoy the smell have been known to faint upon smelling it. When Gloom is faced with danger, the stench worsens. If it is feeling calm or secure, it does not release the horrible aroma. Oddly enough, people have been known to sniff Gloom, just to get a reaction. This is similar to real world drug addiction.
It is said to widely shower its attacks; with moves such as Stun Spore, Poisonpowder and Sleep Powder, it has the ability to cause status problems on its foes. It is also notable that Gloom has two evolved forms (from the second generation onwards), Vileplume and Bellossom. Unlike other Pokémon that evolve via level, Gloom will not evolve until it is exposed to an evolution stone; a Leaf Stone will make a Vileplume, while a Sun Stone produces a Bellossom.
Vileplume
Vileplume (ラフレシア, Rafureshia, Rafflesia in original Japanese language versions) is a huge flower like pokemon that is a larger and stronger evolution of Gloom. Vileplumes can be obtained by using a Leaf Stone on a Gloom.
Vileplume is known for its extremely offensive stench that comes from its large red flower. Vileplume uses this stench in battle, catching its foes off guard when they start to back away from the horrible smell. However, Vileplume's flower can actually be a hindrance in battle due to it being very heavy and bulky. Because of its weight, Vileplume walks very slowly, and it often must use its hands to help support the flower. Vileplume can be found in forests and they like to stay low to the ground. When they sleep, their huge petals droop over their head and they blend in more with the plants around them. They also release toxic, dense pollen into the air in this position so animals don't go near them. At night, they sometimes gather together to perform odd rituals - during this time they release toxic pollen to deter intruders. The white markings on this flower are larger in the female than in the male.
Paras
Paras (パラス, Parasu) is a basic parasite like Pokemon that has two mushrooms on its back. Paras can be found in some caves and the safari zone in Kanto and in Ilex Forest and the Bug Catching Contest in Johto.
Paras is born with tiny spores covering their body, which grow as the Pokémon feeds, called tochukaso mushrooms. It is noted in that the relationship between the host and the mushrooms is a symbiotic relationship: the mushrooms will sap energy from the host, causing the Paras to continuously burrow underground in forest areas to gnaw on tree roots, since the tochukaso draws most of the energy from the roots. In return, the mushrooms defend the host by spraying toxic spores at enemies. The mushrooms themselves have strong healing properties, and are be valued for their life extending properties.
Parasect
Parasect (パラセクト, Parasekuto) is a larger and stronger evolution of Paras that has one large mushroom on its back instead of two (see Paras). Parasect can be obtained when a Paras reaches level 24. Parasect can be found in the Cerulean Cave and Safari Zone in Kanto and Silver Cave in Crystal.
Venonat
Venonat (コンパン, Konpan, Kongpang in original Japanese language versions) is a basic purple "nat" Pokemon that can be found in various areas in Kanto and Johto.
Venomoth
Venomoth (モルフォン, Morufon, Morphon in original Japanese language versions) is a larger, faster and stronger moth Pokemon that evolves from Venonat. Venomoth are found in Kanto and Johto and can also be obtained when a Venonat reaches level 31 or higher.
Diglett
Diglett (ディグダ, Diguda, Digda in original Japanese language versions) is a basic mole-like creature that can be found only in Diglett's Cave.
Dugtrio
Dugtrio (ダグトリオ, Dagutorio) is a large and faster evolution of Diglett. Dugtrio can be found in the wild in Diglett's Cave and can be obtained when a Diglett grows to level 26.
Meowth
Meowth (ニャース, Nyāsu, Nyarth in original Japanese language versions) is a basic cat like Pokémon that can be found in some areas in Johto and Kanto. Meowth is a "Scratchcat" Pokémon known for its greed.
Meowth loves round shaped objects, as well as shiny, glittering things. The item it adores collecting the most, however, are coins, since they are both round and shiny. Meowth is known to scour the pavement at night for dropped loose change and even to openly steal money from people to add to its collection. Oddly enough, when a Meowth sees a shiny round object, its head coin and eyes shine brightly.
Meowth has made an appearance in almost every episode in the anime because one Meowth is the constant companion of Team Rocket agents Jessie and James, the show's main bungling antagonists. This Meowth is also notable because he has the ability to converse in human language, a trait only few other Pokémon, particularly legendary Pokémon, possess. Meowth also has the ability to walk on two feet instead of four. It should be noted this Meowth hates his evolved form, and will insult a Persian whenever given a chance. Beginning in the Hoenn reigon, Meowth produces elaborate fantasies about Team Rocket capturing whatever Pokémon is featured in an episode, and receiving promotions after presenting it to Giovanni.
Persian
Persian (ペルシアン, Perushian) is a larger, stronger and faster persian(cat) like evolution of Meowth. Persians are wild in a few areas of Kanto and Johto Persians can also be obtained when a Meowth reaches level 28.

Golduck
Golduck (ゴルダック, Gorudakku) is a stronger, larger, faster and more intelligent evolution of Psyduck. Golduck is obtained in the videogames when a Psyduck has gained enough experience to reach level 33. Golduck are also found in a few locations in Kanto, Hoenn, Johto and Sinnoh.
Mankey
Mankey (マンキー, Mankī in original Japanese language versions) is a basic fighting type monkey pokemon that an be found in some grass areas in Kanto and Johto.
Primeape
Primeape (オコリザル, Okorizaru in original Japanese language versions) is a larger and stronger evolution of Mankey. Primeape an be obtained when a Mankey has earned enough expierence to level up to level 28. Primeape can also be found in some grassy areas in Kanto and Johto.
Growlithe
Growlithe (ガーディ, Gādi?, Gardie in original Japanese language versions) is one of 493 fictional species of Pokémon in the Pokémon franchise. Growlithe's name is derived from the words growl, because it growls at its enemies, and lithe, which refers to its readily bent posture before it attacks them. Its name in the beta version was Flamie.
Arcanine
Arcanine (ウインディ, Uindi, Windie in original Japanese language versions) is the larger, stronger and faster evolution of Growlithe. Arcanine is obtained in the games by using a Fire Stone on a Growlithe. In the anime it should be noted that Gary has an Arcanine he frequently uses. Arcanine's signature move is Extremespeed.
Arcanine is a canine pokémon that resembles the shisa but is orange, with black zig-zagging stripes and muscular chest resembling a tiger, also including large, bushy hair and a mane similar to that of a lion.
Arcanine's species is classified as "Legendary" in the Pokédex, although the word is probably used in an entirely different context than with the actual Legendary Pokémon. It is theorized, however, that Arcanine was one of the original three Legendary Pokémon, the other two being Zapdos and Articuno. It is thought the game designers decided to make all three legendary pokémon "birds" and so they replaced Arcanine's status as the legendary fire Pokémon with Moltres. They did, however, give it the label of "Legendary Pokémon". Arcanine's sum of base stats are the highest below 580, which is the bench mark for Legendary Pokémon like Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.
Poliwag
Poliwag (ニョロモ, Nyoromo in original Japanese language versions) is a basic tadpole Pokemon that is found by fishing or surfing in several water areas in Kanto and Johto.
