How to Read the Pokémon Entries on PokeList (pokemonlist.netlify.app)

Updated

PokeList displays each Pokémon as a single compact line, and you can read it left to right as name → three-digit number → type icon → two numbers. Using the first entry as the template, Bulbasaur - 001 👊 7 - 70 means: the Pokémon is Bulbasaur, it is number 001 in the catalog, its type is shown by the fist icon, and the two trailing values are 7 and 70. The exact meaning of those two numbers is not labeled on the page, so treat them as catalog attributes rather than confirmed game stats.

The four parts of a line

Position Example What it tells you
Name Bulbasaur The Pokémon's English name
Three-digit number 001 Its position in the catalog, zero-padded to three digits
Type icon 👊 The Pokémon's type, rendered as an icon rather than text
First number 7 A per-entry value that varies between Pokémon
Second number 70 A per-entry value that varies between Pokémon

The page itself gives no legend for the icon or the two numbers, so the safest reading is positional: everything before the first dash is the name, the segment after it is the catalog number, and the two numbers after the icon are entry attributes.

What the two numbers likely represent

Looking across the visible entries, the two values behave differently, which is a useful clue:

  • The first number stays small, roughly 5–12 across the list (Bulbasaur 7, Charmander 6, Squirtle 12, Caterpie 5, Pidgey 10).
  • The second number spans a much wider range, from 15 (Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna) up to 120 (Ivysaur, Venusaur, Raticate).

A small, slowly changing value paired with a larger, widely varying one is consistent with a lightweight stat plus a heavier stat — for example a speed-like figure next to an HP- or power-like figure. The data supports the pattern but not the labels, so if you need exact stat names, cross-check the same Pokémon against an official or community Pokédex rather than assuming.

Some entries also share identical pairs — Metapod and Kakuna are both 5 - 15, and Ivysaur and Venusaur are both 7 - 120 — which shows the numbers are not unique identifiers. Only the three-digit number is unique per entry.

Locating a Pokémon by number

Because the list is ordered by the three-digit number, you can navigate by number instead of scrolling by name:

  1. Note the number you want, e.g. 006 for Charizard.
  2. Scan the number column in ascending order — 001, 002, 003 … — since entries appear sequentially.
  3. Read the name to the left of that number to confirm you have the right Pokémon.

This works because the visible sequence runs 001 through 020 without gaps (Bulbasaur through Raticate), so the number doubles as a position index. If you are looking for a Pokémon by name instead, the same left-to-right scan applies, but the number is the more reliable anchor once you know it.

Practical caveats

  • Icons need interpretation. The fist icon (👊) marks the type for the early entries shown; other types will use different icons, so read the icon as a category marker, not a stat.
  • No prices or account features are indicated on the page, so there is nothing to sign up for or pay to read the list.
  • The catalog is a reference list, not a strategy tool. It gives name, number, type, and two values per Pokémon — enough to identify and compare entries at a glance, but not a substitute for a full stat breakdown.
