The iconic Pokémon catchphrase, “Gotta catch ’em all,” has driven fans for decades. While a manageable feat in the early days of 151 creatures, the Pokémon universe has expanded significantly. As of 2025, the number of Pokémon has grown almost tenfold, making it harder than ever to keep track. This article dives into the current Pokémon count and provides a comprehensive list of every Pokémon discovered up to generation nine.
The new starters for Pokémon Legend Z-A.
The Current Pokémon Count (2025)
By generation nine, the grand total stands at an impressive 1,025 unique Pokémon. This figure, based on the National Pokédex, excludes alternate forms like regional variants, Mega Evolutions, and Gigantamax Pokémon. Including these variations would bring the total to 1,164. For purists aiming to complete the core Pokédex, the number to focus on remains 1,025. This is particularly relevant given that recent Pokémon games no longer incorporate every single Pokémon, streamlining the “catch ’em all” challenge. While this simplifies the in-game task, it also makes tracking the ever-expanding roster more complex for dedicated fans.

Keeping Up with the Expanding Pokémon Universe
With over a thousand Pokémon and new generations continuously adding to the roster, staying updated can be challenging. Utilizing resources like the National Pokédex is crucial for both casual fans and dedicated collectors.
