Can I Compare Pokémon on Pokémon Awesome?

Yes. Pokémon Awesome is built around searching, comparing, and learning about Pokémon, so comparison is a core part of the site rather than a hidden extra. You can use it to line up creatures against each other and judge differences in their statistics and other listed attributes. The main condition is that the site works from the data it presents — type defenses, abilities, egg groups, and comprehensive statistics — so a comparison is only as complete as those fields.

What a comparison on Pokémon Awesome covers

The site's own description lists the areas it covers. These are the dimensions you can expect to weigh when comparing two or more Pokémon:

• Statistics — the full stat spread, useful for seeing whether a Pokémon leans offensive, defensive, or fast.
• Type defenses — how a Pokémon's typing reacts to incoming attacks, which often matters more than raw stats.
• Abilities — the passive traits that can change how a Pokémon functions in practice.
• Egg groups — relevant when you are thinking about breeding rather than battling.

Because these categories are presented per Pokémon, a comparison is essentially a side-by-side reading of the same fields across different creatures.

How to compare two Pokémon

1. Search for the first Pokémon. Use the site's search to bring up the creature you want as your baseline.
2. Note its key fields. Record its statistics, typing and type defenses, ability, and egg group.
3. Search for the second Pokémon and read the same fields.
4. Compare like with like. Put the stat totals next to each other, then check whether one typing creates a defensive weakness the other does not share.
5. Verify your conclusion by re-checking the type defense entry for the specific attacking type you care about, since a single resistance or weakness can flip a matchup.

The expected result is a clear picture of where each Pokémon is stronger or more exposed. A common sticking point is comparing stat totals alone: a higher total does not mean a better Pokémon if its typing leaves it weak to common attacks, so always read the type defense field alongside the numbers.

A concrete example of using the comparison

Suppose you are choosing between two Pokémon for a team slot and both look similar on paper. Search each one, then:

• Compare their statistics to see which is faster and which hits harder.
• Check type defenses to see which one takes neutral damage from the attacks you expect to face.
• Read abilities to see whether either has a trait that changes the decision.

For instance, if one has clearly better speed but a typing that is weak to a common attacking type, the comparison tells you the trade-off directly instead of leaving you to guess. That is the practical value of the site: it puts the same attributes side by side so the differences are visible.

When comparison is the right approach — and when it isn't

Comparison on Pokémon Awesome is most useful when you already have a shortlist and need to choose between similar options, or when you want to confirm why one Pokémon performs differently from another. It is less useful as a first step if you don't yet know which Pokémon exist — in that case, start with search and browsing, then move to comparison once you have candidates.

Keep in mind that the site presents the attributes it lists; it is a reference for those fields, not a battle simulator. Use the comparison to inform a decision, then confirm the specific detail — a particular type matchup or ability — on that Pokémon's own page before relying on it.
