How to Look Up a Pokémon's Stats and Details on Pokémon Awesome

Updated

Pokémon Awesome (pokemon-awesome.vercel.app) is a free browser-based reference site for looking up Pokémon. To use it, open the site, search for a Pokémon by name, then read its entry for base statistics, abilities, egg groups, and type-defense information. The site describes itself as a place to "search, compare, and learn about your favorite creatures," so it works best as a quick lookup and comparison tool rather than a battle simulator.

Step 1: Open the site and find the search

Go to pokemon-awesome.vercel.app in any modern browser. The site's own description lists search as its first function, so the search field is the intended entry point for any lookup. There is no account or download step described in the site's materials.

Step 2: Search for the Pokémon you want

Type the Pokémon's name into the search function and select the matching result. The site is English-language, so use the English species name (for example, the name as it appears in the main-series games) rather than a nickname or a translated name.

Expected result: the site opens that Pokémon's detail entry.

Common snag: if no result appears, check the spelling first. The site does not document alternate-name or fuzzy matching, so a misspelled or non-English name is the most likely cause of an empty result.

Step 3: Read the statistics and basic details

Each entry is built around "comprehensive Pokémon statistics," per the site's description. When reading the stat block, keep these points in mind:

  • Base stats are not battle stats. The numbers shown are species base values. Actual in-game stats also depend on level, IVs, EVs, and nature, none of which the site claims to calculate.
  • Compare across entries. Because the site is designed for comparison, open two Pokémon in turn and compare the same stat (for example, Speed) rather than judging one number in isolation.
  • Use the stat spread to infer a role. A high base Speed and low base HP suggests a fast, fragile attacker; high HP and Defense suggests a wall. This is a reading habit, not a site feature.

Step 4: Check abilities, egg groups, and type defenses

The site explicitly covers three related areas beyond raw stats:

Section What it tells you How to use it
Abilities The abilities the species can have Check whether an ability changes a matchup before you commit to a team slot
Egg groups Which groups the species belongs to for breeding Use it to judge whether two Pokémon can breed together
Type defenses How the typing responds to attacking types Identify weaknesses and resistances before a battle or team build

The type-defense view is the most practical of the three for team building: it answers "what hits this Pokémon hard?" directly, without you needing to memorize the type chart.

What the site is and isn't

It is: a searchable reference for species data — stats, abilities, egg groups, and type matchups — suited to quick lookups and side-by-side comparison.

It isn't: a damage calculator, a team builder with saved sets, or a source of competitive metagame data. The site's description mentions none of these, so don't expect calculated damage rolls or usage statistics.

Quick checklist

  1. Open pokemon-awesome.vercel.app.
  2. Search the English species name.
  3. Read base stats — and remember they aren't final in-game stats.
  4. Check abilities and egg groups for team and breeding questions.
  5. Check type defenses to find weaknesses and resistances.
  6. Compare two entries using the same stat when deciding between Pokémon.

If a lookup fails, recheck the spelling and confirm you're using the English name; the site's materials don't describe any other search behavior.
