How to Find a Specific Pokémon on PokeList (pokemonlist.netlify.app)

PokeList is a single-page catalog that lists Pokémon in National Pokédex order, so the fastest way to find a specific Pokémon is to use its three-digit number to estimate where it sits in the list, then scan for the name. The page evidence shows entries formatted as name, number, a type icon, and two numeric values (for example, "Bulbasaur - 001 👊 7 - 70" and "Ivysaur - 002 👊 7 - 120"), which means you can match on either the name or the number once you reach the right part of the list.

How the list is organized

The catalog follows the standard Pokédex sequence rather than alphabetical order. From the visible excerpt:

Two things follow from this. First, numbers are zero-padded to three digits, so "007" is Squirtle, not a separate entry. Second, because the order is numeric, you can jump straight to a region of the list if you know roughly which generation a Pokémon belongs to — 001–151 covers the original set, and later numbers continue from there.

Steps to locate a Pokémon

1. Identify the number if you know it. If you already know the Pokédex number, use it directly: 001 is at the very top, 019 is a short scroll down, and so on.
2. Estimate the scroll position. Divide the target number by the total number of entries to get a rough fraction of the page. For a Pokémon in the low hundreds, you will usually be near the top; for higher numbers, scroll further.
3. Scan for the name. Entries are written as "Name - Number", so read down the left edge of the list. Names appear in title case (Bulbasaur, Charmeleon, Butterfree), which makes them easy to spot against the numbers.
4. Confirm with the number. Once you see a matching name, check the three-digit number beside it to be sure you have the right entry and not a similar name.
5. Read the entry. The icon and the two numbers after the dash are part of the entry; note them if you are comparing Pokémon.

If you only know the name

Because the list is ordered by number, not alphabetically, a name-only search means scanning the whole list. A practical shortcut is to recall the Pokémon's approximate generation:

• Generation 1 (001–151): Bulbasaur through Mew. The excerpt covers the start of this range.
• Later generations: continue scrolling past 151; the numbering keeps increasing in the same format.

If the page includes a search box or filter in your browser session, typing the name is faster than scrolling — but the visible evidence only confirms the list itself, so treat any search field as something to check for on the page rather than a guaranteed feature.

Common snags

• Similar names: Charmander (004) and Charmeleon (005) sit next to each other; always verify the number.
• Zero-padding: searching for "7" may not match "007" depending on how you scan; look for the three-digit form.
• Type icon confusion: the 👊 symbol appears on many entries in the excerpt and is not a reliable identifier on its own — use the name and number.
• Long page: the catalog is a continuous list, so expect to scroll; estimating by number saves the most time.

What you get once you find the entry

Each row gives you the name, the Pokédex number, a type icon, and two numeric values. The excerpt does not label those values, so read them as displayed rather than assuming what they represent. If you need the underlying data source or the full coverage of the catalog, that is a separate question from locating a single entry — this guide is only about finding one Pokémon quickly.
