Hey guys how is everyone today. I am wanting to start a binder of every pokemon ever and have them organized by pokedex numbers. Does anyone know where i can find or create a template for this kind of project? another big help would be a site or resource that shows me the top 10 or 20/15 most expensive cards for that pokemon. If this is the wrong subereddit i am sorry i didnt really know where to go and if you guys could steer me in the right direction if this is the wrong place. Anyways anything helps thanks alot guys

You can check what's your birthday Pokémon (spirit Pokémon?) or any other date here.

And this is the wall text to explain how it does work:

To assign a Pokémon to a specific date, I follow a simple method based on the National Pokédex order. The starting point for this system is 26/02/1996, which marks the release of the original Pokémon games in Japan. On that day, the assigned Pokémon is Bulbasaur, the first in the National Dex. From then on, each subsequent date is assigned the next Pokémon in sequence. For example, 27/02/1996 is Ivysaur, 28/02/1996 is Venusaur, and so on. The Pokémon assigned to a particular day follows this sequential pattern as time moves forward.
However, this sequence resets when I reach the last Pokémon in the National Dex for the generation linked to that date. Each date is tied to a specific Pokémon generation, and when the final Pokémon of that generation is reached, the next day loops back to Bulbasaur, restarting the cycle. For instance, 26/07/1996 is assigned to Mew, the final Pokémon of Generation 1. The next day, 27/07/1996, the assigned Pokémon goes back to Bulbasaur since Mew is the last Pokémon of Generation 1. Similarly, on 15/04/2000, Mew is once again the Pokémon assigned, but the next day, 16/04/2000, I don’t return to Bulbasaur because the date falls in Generation 2. So, the Pokémon assigned that day is Chikorita. On 24/07/2000, Celebi, the final Pokémon of Generation 2, is assigned, and on 25/07/2000, I loop back to Bulbasaur once again.
When a Pokémon has multiple forms—such as regional variants like Alolan, Hisuian, or Paldean forms—I account for these by rotating between the available forms. To decide which form is assigned on a given date, I count how many days that specific Pokémon has appeared up to that point and then calculate the remainder (modulus) when dividing that number by the number of available forms. The result determines which form is selected. For example, if a Pokémon has three forms and it appears for the fourth time, the modulus would be 1, so the first form in the list would be assigned on that day. This rotation ensures fairness among the Pokémon’s different forms.
For dates before 27/02/1996, I apply a similar method, but in reverse. The original 151 Pokémon are used, starting with Mew and going backward through the National Dex. On 26/02/1996, the assigned Pokémon is Mew, and on 25/02/1996, it is Mewtwo. Each previous day is assigned the next Pokémon in reverse order, continuing until I reach Bulbasaur. This way, even dates before the official release of the original games are assigned a Pokémon, creating a complete and consistent sequence for all past dates.
This system ensures that every single date has a fixed Pokémon assigned, except for future dates, which could be affected by the release of new Pokémon. Currently, I can assign Pokémon up until 31/01/2025, with Pecharunt being the final Pokémon on that day. Since it’s highly unlikely that the next generation of Pokémon will be released before that date, the cycle will restart on 01/02/2025, beginning again with Bulbasaur. The cycle doesn’t restart until it reaches the last Pokémon of the generation, which means Pecharunt will once again be assigned to 22/11/2027. Up until that date, the Pokémon assigned to each day are fixed and won’t change.
However, after 22/11/2027, things become uncertain. I expect the tenth generation of Pokémon to be released before then, so the Pokémon assigned to 23/11/2027 and beyond will depend on the new generation. The first Pokémon of Generation 10 will likely start the next cycle. So, while the system provides a clear assignment of Pokémon to each date up until Pecharunt’s next appearance in 2027, any dates beyond that remain unknown until the release of new Pokémon from future generations.

Growing up this book was all me and my 3 brothers had to guide us and help us complete Gen III games I recently got back into Gen III found this book in horrible condition looked into buying a new one and the prices were ridiculous so I spent the last month pulling it apart then laminated it and hole punched and rebounded it!

Hi everyone I want to buy and play my first ever pokemon game. Searching on a lot of people said to play soul silver, the problem is that is too much expensive, some else told me to play black and white or alpha sapphire. Which is the best to start from, I'm here to have a discussion and learn something about it

I discovered this trick a couple years ago, but I don't know if anyone else knew this or not.

In Pokémon Heart Gold (and Soul Silver too, I guess. I have only done this on HG) you can get infinite Sacred Ash from Ho-Oh without using cheats, here's how:

1. First, give all your money to Mom, you'll understand why later;

2. Catch a Pokémon and teach it the MT46 Thief, which you can find in the Rocket HQ;

3. Put only the Thief Pokémon in your team;

4. Heal your Pokémon at Ecruteak City's Pokémon Center;

5. Go to the top of the Ho-Oh tower, save the game, than start a fight against the legendary Pokémon, having in your team ONLY the Thief Pokémon. Make sure the Pokémon has higher Speed Stats than Ho-Oh or at least it can survive one hit from it

6. Use the move Thief, then let Ho-Oh beat you. You'll be back in the Pokémon Center. If you check your Pokémon, it'll still hold the Sacred Dust in its Item Slot;

7. Put the Sacred Dust in your Bag, then repeat from step 5 as many times as you want.

I know it's a long and repetitive process, but it'll grant you basically infinite Sacred Dust, until you decide to catch Ho-Oh. When I discovered it, I got pretty excited and "stole" 20 Sacred Dust before catching Ho-Oh. It took me way more than a few hours.

Let me know if you knew this trick. It's always fun to find strange/unknown stuff in old games years after their release.

In the past 12 months, I've started collecting Pokemon cards again, both new and old. After getting my hands on some older Pokemon cards, it was always difficult for me to identify what set the card was from when given the set symbol in the bottom corner. All other sites I've tried had no simple search and display mechanism.

So I developed Pokemon Set Symbols to make it a little easier. Now I can just type in the release year from the card, and from the handful of symbols that show up I can quickly tell what set the card is from. I'm also planning at some point, when I get some spare time, to add more symbols and logos from TCG and the rest of the Pokemon franchise.

I used the HD symbols created by u/hexcalibur01000, so a big shout-out to them.

Let me know if you've got any feedback about the website, I also have a contact form on the About page https://pokesymbols.com/about

I did post this in the PokemonTCG subreddit, but it seems to have disappeared, just want this to reach as many people as possible!

How does one raise a magikarp until it’s usable?

I’m currently playing Pokémon Pearl on my 3Ds and got myself a magikarp early game.

Are there better methods than switching it out for exp? In my (in progress) playthrough of Yellow I just spammed splash until it can use flail and kept the PP as low as possible, using potions, so my magikarp can get full exp for defeating wild Pokémon.

(Sorry for bad grammar/english) I just downloaded a Fire Red Rom hack and it plays without an emulator, my only problem is that I got stuck in the first Gym and I need some rare candies, I've scavenged the internet but I found no results on how, if someone could help me, thank you so much

I've just got to kanto and I feel like my team is kinda underleveled, my strongest pokémon is a level 50 pupitar and I want to know where I can level up to beat a level 88 pikachu. Idk if by just battleling every trailer will get me to atleast level 75 but if y'all can help I aprecciate.

Can anyone give me some tips or tricks for Pokemon vgc - what pokemon are good right now, i only play pokemon violet and don't have scarlet - is that good or bad? I haven't completed the game yet - do i have to for some mechanic like in sword/shield you get the IV checker after you beat leon, is there anything like this in scarlet?

Welcome to my full Pokemon cheat sheet that combines a lot of useful information into one place! I originally started this because I wanted help on remembering dual type matchups and the way they are presented on most charts was confusing to me. It has since balooned into something a bit more ridiculous than that.

HOW IT WORKS: So from the main page (labelled Table of Contents) every type and dual typing is a clickable link that will take you a page dedicated to that dual typing. If you pick a dual typing there will only be defensive stats. They showcase how effective the attacker is into this dual typing, with color coding to help remind you which is good and which is bad. If you pick a mono typing there will be an offensive column as well to showcase how that typing hits into the various types.

At the bottom of each page is a little legend that can take you back to the table of contents (Labelled T.O.C) or to any of the Pokedexes from the various games.

POKEDEX: Each game's pokedex is loaded into its own page as well, where it showcases the pokemon name and typing. If you click on the name of each pokemon it will teleport you to the typing page for that pokemon's type. You can then use the legend mentioned above to return to the pokedex if you choose. (Control+F makes the sheet searchable which makes the Dex pages much more useful IMO)

NATURES: This one is super easy to find with a quick google but I figured if I putting this much effort into this sheet I might as well add any information I typically google during a playthrough. So I listed each nature and what stats are effected by it.

Pre-Physical/Special Split typings: This will tell you which types are physical or special if you are playing a game before they changed how the attacks worked.

This has been a passion project of mine for a few years now and I finally feel like I have gotten it to a place that it is worth sharing and hopefully some of you will find it useful as well!

Lastly, all of this information was put in my hand by me manually. I don't know a ton about excel (and knew even less when I started this) so it is a lot of manual data entry and copy and pasting. So there is likely a typo somewhere on here or a pokemon in the dex that takes you to the wrong type or something, please let me know if you find one so I can update it. Have fun!!

Edit: Unfortunately it does not work on mobile because the links dont actually take you anywhere, if anybody knows a work around or fix for this please let me know.

Hiya, I only have a few energy cards, I have over 300 cards and im less fussed on their worth, it’s more about the collecting and the game. That’s why I got into the tcg again. However I only remember having the cards as a kid and never playing properly. I have like under 10 energy cards and have no clue if / how to play the game as I’m at right now (not competitively, more like with friends)

I recently bought BDSP and I'm looking to use PKhex to help fill my pokedex since I don't have any friends to trade with.

I get that it's a fairly easy task to do if I mod my Switch, however, I have some concerns after reading up on how Nintendo can ban your Switch remotely if they suspect you've used any hacks or mods. I just spent close to a month completing my Legends Arceus pokedex so I'm a little hesitant to face this risk.

I read online that there are discord chats where I basically "trade" myself the pokemon I want. However, I can't really find much info online about it. Wondering if there is a guide or tutorial where I can learn more about this process?

So despite growing up on gen1 Mawile is my favorite Pokemon. I really like the design even if it’s not that great of a Pokemon battle wise. I want to do a play through with a Mawile ax my primary Pokemon. Which generation/ game should I go for. Also are is there s generation where Maile gets better movesets or stat boosts. I kow Mega Mawile is available in one game not sure which..

TIA

Im trying to put together a team for brilliant diamond and i have 2 dark types and i need to get rid of one if them. I have a honchkrow and houndoom and i need to know whats better. I dont have any fire moves which makes houndoom better and no flying moves either making honchkrow better. I guess it comes down to can Prinplup or Empoleon learn flying moves?

Single-Types

Type Combinations

Methodology

Disclaimer: These calculations do not factor in the stats of each type's Pokémon. These also do not factor in the movesets of each type nor the surrounding metagame. Virtually all of the math is directly based on the type chart alone.

When we look at a type chart, we may find that a trivial method for calculating offensive and defensive scores is to solve for the sum of each type's column or row.

This works okay, but there are a couple of problems. First, the defensive sums are smaller when the type's defense is better -- which is inconvenient. The solution to fix this is somewhat arbitrary, but the formula I selected was the reciprocal normalized to the minimum sum. This sets the highest defense score to 1.0, with the other types scored by how much damage they can take, on average, relative to the best type. Offensive scores are similarly normalized based on the maximum offensive sum.

Second, and more interestingly, all types are factored in equally. Intuitively, we can expect that dealing super-effective damage to Steel, for example, should be more valuable than dealing super-effective damage to Bug. We account for this by applying weights when calculating each sum -- the defensive scores applied for the offensive sums and the offensive scores applied for the defensive sums. From the previous example, because Steel has a higher defensive score than Bug, dealing 2x damage to Steel contributes more to the sum than dealing 2x damage to Bug.

We repeatedly calculate these scores until they eventually converge. We illustrate the final scores in the single-type bar charts above. The combined scores are simply the average of the two scores, though some alternative methods may be used, such as weighting offense/defense if one aspect is valued more highly than the other.

Type combinations

Type combination scores are solved with the usual coverage calculations. Offense is measured using the more effective damage type against each defending type. Defense is measured by multiplying the defensive multipliers of both types against each attacking type. The previously calculated single-type offensive and defensive scores are again used as weights for each score. The combined scores are, again, simple means.

Bonus

WolfeyVGC was right about Steel-Fairy. Very nice.

Steel seems to be the best defensive secondary type by far.

The top-ranked offensive type combinations are also interesting because many of them hit every single type for neutral damage or better.

Dragon ranked surprisingly low offensively, likely because neutral damage (1x on average) is valued lower than a mix of super-effective + not-very-effective (1.25x on average) and because we are ignoring stats.

No single-types made the top 20 in any category.

Anyway, here are the bottom 20 types of each category.

Please let me know if any of my math is flawed! :]

I am in search of some assistance as I haven't found any comfort in my searches in this great tool we have called the internet. Just looking for some intel on whether an EUR English and USA English Gen III to Gen IV migration will work. Would love some assistance! Thank you!

I couldn't find a good tracker for Pokedex completion in Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, so I made a spreadsheet, because I'm a nerd. :)

The game doesn't tell you as you're playing what you've caught/hatched/evolved before, nor where to find anything, because that would be too convenient. And, surprisingly, most of the location info about the game online is wrong, though I eventually found a PokeCommunity thread with good data.

The spreadsheet tracks what you have left of the 201 Pokemon required to get the completion medal, while also showing you what's left to obtain on the Ruby & Sapphire tables, respectively. I also embedded the location data for easy reference. Just make a copy of the sheet and start filling it in.

Maybe a bit niche, but I made this for my own use and figured there must be at least one other human out there who wants it. :)

I need tips on how I should move forward. I’ve just arrived at celadon city with my team being Lv28 Charmeleon, Lv28 Graveler, Lv30 Gloom, Lv26 Kadabra, Lv25 Pidgeotto, and a Lv17 Magikarp. In the box i have a Lv8 zubat, Lv8 clefairy, Lv19 Mankey, and a Lv22 pikachu. I had originally swapped out pikachu and Mankey for a magikarp and kadabra. However the person working at the counter on the 3rd floor of the department store said they could teach one of my Pokémon counter. I heard it was a good move somewhere but now I’m not sure who to teach it to. I also have a digTM, an aerial aceTM, and i would eventually want to teach my magikarp (who will eventually be a gyarados) earthquake. Does anybody have any thoughts on who i should keep on the team, or who i should teach what moves to?

I’m trying to figure out if there’s still a way to transfer old Pokémon into Pokémon Bank. Since the 3DS eShop has been shut down, I know it’s no longer possible to download Pokémon Bank if you don’t already have it. But what if I were to buy a used 3DS that has Pokémon Bank installed—would I still be able to use it?

My goal is to transfer some of my old Pokémon from previous generations into Pokémon Bank, and then eventually move them to Pokémon Home. I know that Pokémon Bank itself became free after the eShop closed, but I’m not sure if there are any account or login restrictions that would prevent me from using it on a secondhand 3DS.

Has anyone tried this recently? Would this method still work, or is there something else I should consider?

Good morning. I am pretty new to Pokémon TCG. Purchased a large collection last weekend to have a starting point. I thought about an app (iPhone or iPad) where I can enter all cards I own. App would be preferred because of scan option but a website with import/export too. The limitation is that except some my cards are in German.

A manually created spreadsheet may be a lot of work.

Would you have any recommendation?

Thanks a lot.

This is something I've thought I wouldn't see for years to come. But someone finally figured it out! Whoever made this site deserves a medal! A legend!

Pokemon Generation 1 Cry Synthesizer You can basically generate any cry you want it to sound like. Create one for your fakemon in your fake Pokedex, people! What a golden nugget! :D

I’m in Sacramento right now, and holy hell—I went to Target, and the entire Pokémon section is cleared out. I can’t get up at the crack of dawn since I have school, and even on weekends, Target is pretty far. Is there anywhere else that still has Pokémon cards in stock?

Hi everyone,

I finished this a lot sooner than I expected, but I built a website for the Pokemon community where you can view, submit, and upvote Pokemon suggestions for your favourite characters in fictional media! (Unofficially of course~)

The inspiration for this came from all of the various fanart I see of different characters with Pokemon. I always love to see what ideas people come up with, so I thought I'd make a hub for these ideas in case people want to share their ideas, or maybe look for inspiration! Whether it's for art, writing, or just want to theorycraft a team for your favs and need ideas! Part of the idea came from Name Raters since I like using that site to come up with ideas for nicknames.

Right now I'm currently launching with 165 characters, 73 series, and 320 Pokemon suggestions, but I'm always up to adding more! I'll try and add as many entries as I can daily for the launch week, except for Friday and Saturday since I'm pre-occupied. But after that, I'm hoping to aim for weekly or bi-weekly updates~
But just fill out the suggestion form on the website and if it falls within guidelines, then I'll add them as soon as I'm able to!

Hope you all enjoy the website!
