Sinnoh Pokémon

From Dexnet

There are over two hundred species of Pokémon that can be found in the Sinnoh Region. Following is a quick-reference list including their location, type, and rarity. Check the given reference links for more information!

Here, we (mostly) list them by their number in the Sinnoh Regional PokéDex (Platinum version); note that this 'Dex is different from the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn versions. Some Pokémon have been grouped differently from the official 'Dex numbering due to legendary status.

Contents

Pokémon

Pokémon will be listed in their evolutionary groups. The format for Pokémon entries is as follows:

  • Dex entry: The entry number the Pokémon will be listed under in the Sinnoh PokéDex
  • Type: The Pokémon's type(s)
  • Species: Only really used by researchers, it's rather unimportant for trainers to know
  • Rarity in the wild
    • Habitat information
  • Other


Common Pokémon can be caught by pretty much anybody. Uncommon ones will take some doing, and rare ones can be virtually impossible to find in the first place. Trainers with rare Pokémon are more likely to have acquired them through breeding or purchase rather than catching them in the wild.

Legendary Pokémon are things of myth. Very few people have seen them and nobody has ever caught one. Some people think they just don't exist in the first place.

Ancient Pokémon exist only as fossils. There are plenty of rumours of groups of ancient Pokémon still living somewhere secluded, away from humanity, but these have yet to be confirmed. No living ancient Pokémon have been seen outside of fossil remains.
