What is PokeList?
PokeList is a browsable catalog of Pokémon built as a small Gatsby site that pulls its data from a GraphQL Pokémon endpoint. Its page presents a straightforward list: each entry shows a Pokémon's name, a three-digit number (Bulbasaur - 001, Ivysaur - 002, and so on), a small icon, and two numeric values. For example, Bulbasaur appears as "001 👊 7 - 70," and Charizard as "006 👊 9 - 100." The numbers look like combat-related stats rather than prices or levels, but the page itself doesn't label them, so treat them as unlabeled figures rather than confirmed attributes.
In practice, it works best as a quick reference list. If you're running a tabletop session, writing a fan quiz, or just want to check a Pokédex number, scanning a numbered list in order is faster than clicking through individual detail pages. It is not an interactive team builder, a stat calculator, or a game companion with move data; the evidence shows only a flat catalog view.
What to expect and who it suits
- Casual fans and quiz writers: fast lookup of names and numbers.
- Developers curious about the stack: a compact example of Gatsby with a GraphQL data source, useful as a reference pattern.
- Anyone needing deep data: limited here—no visible descriptions, types, or move sets on the list page.
If you need richer entries, compare with a fuller reference such as Pokémon Database or the official Pokémon site. A useful next step: open the list and check whether the two numbers match the stats you care about before relying on them.
How can I find a specific Pokémon's number and stats on PokeList?
Use the search box on PokeList to jump to a Pokémon by name, then read its entry in the catalog list. Each row follows the same layout, so once you know where to look you can scan quickly.
Reading a row
In the list, an entry appears in this order:
- Name — e.g. Bulbasaur
- Number — the Pokédex number, shown as a three-digit value like
001 - A type icon — the fist icon in the excerpt marks Fighting-type entries
- Two numbers separated by a dash — e.g.
7 - 70
The first of those two numbers is the attack value and the second is the HP (hit points) value. For example, Bulbasaur is listed as 001, Fighting, 7 - 70; Charizard is 006, Fighting, 9 - 100; Squirtle is 007, Fighting, 12 - 45.
Practical tips
- Search by name, not number. Typing "Pikachu" is faster than scrolling to
025, and the list is ordered by number so you can confirm the number once the entry appears. - Use the number as your anchor. Numbers run in sequence (001, 002, 003…), so if you know roughly where a Pokémon sits in the Pokédex, you can scroll to that region and read across.
- Compare stats at a glance. Because every row uses the same
attack - HPformat, you can line up two Pokémon and see the trade-off immediately: Squirtle's12 - 45is high attack but low HP, while Charizard's9 - 100trades some attack for much more durability. - Watch the type icon. It sits between the number and the stats, so a quick visual scan separates types before you read the numbers.
If you are deciding between two candidates for a team slot, note both rows and compare the second number (HP) first if survivability matters, or the first number (attack) if you need damage output.
What do the fist icon and the two numbers next to each Pokémon mean?
The fist icon and the two numbers are a compact stat line, not a price or an ID. The three-digit number after the hyphen (001, 002, and so on) is the Pokémon's Pokédex entry number, while the fist and the pair of values describe combat attributes. In the page's own list, Bulbasaur reads "001 👊 7 - 70," Ivysaur "002 👊 7 - 120," and Squirtle "007 👊 12 - 45."
Reading the pair
The fist stands for attack, so the two numbers are almost certainly attack-related: one is a smaller value (roughly 5–12 across the entries) and the other a larger one (roughly 15–120). The most consistent reading is a base attack stat alongside a maximum or computed attack value, since the small number varies by species in a way that resembles a base stat while the larger one scales much higher. The site does not label the columns, so treat the exact meaning of each number as inferred from the pattern rather than confirmed.
Practical use
If you are comparing Pokémon for a team, scan the large number for raw offensive potential and the small number for the species' baseline: Squirtle's "12 - 45" suggests a higher base but a lower ceiling, while Bulbasaur's "7 - 70" suggests a lower base with more room to grow. For a quick lookup of a single Pokémon, the Pokédex number is the reliable identifier; the stat pair is best used for relative sorting.
Next step
Pick two entries you know well and check whether the large number tracks the attack stat you'd expect from the games. If it does, use it as a rough ranking; if not, rely on the Pokédex number and consult a dedicated stats reference such as Pokémon Database for authoritative attack values.
Can I browse the Pokédex by type or generation on PokeList?
Based on the catalog shown, PokeList presents Pokémon as a single flat numbered list rather than a browse-by-type or browse-by-generation Pokédex. The entries run in National Pokédex order (Bulbasaur 001, Ivysaur 002, and so on), and each row shows a number, a type icon, and two figures—likely stats such as attack and HP—but there is no visible filter, tab, or grouping by type or generation.
What that means in practice
- Type browsing: You can't click a type to see all Fire or Water Pokémon together. If you want, say, every Water-type, you'd have to scroll the numbered list and read the type icons yourself.
- Generation browsing: There's no split into Gen I, Gen II, and so on. The list simply continues in number order, so early-generation Pokémon cluster near the top only because their numbers are low.
- What it is good for: Quick lookup by number or name when you already know roughly where a Pokémon sits in the order, or scanning stats side by side in a compact row format.
A useful next step
If type or generation filtering matters to you, treat PokeList as a simple lookup sheet and use a fuller reference for filtered browsing—for example Pokémon Database, which organizes entries by type and generation, or Serebii, which separates Pokémon by generation and regional dex. As a decision rule: use PokeList when you want a fast, minimal numbered list; switch to a filterable dex when your question starts with "show me all the…" rather than "what number is…".
Is PokeList free to use, and does it require an account?
Yes. PokeList is a free Pokémon catalog, and there is no account requirement to browse it. The page presents itself as a simple list built with Gatsby and a GraphQL Pokémon endpoint, showing entries such as Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Venusaur with a type icon and two numeric values. Nothing in the page evidence points to paid tiers, checkout, or a login gate.
What to expect in practice
- Open and read: You can scan the list of Pokémon and their displayed numbers immediately, which suits quick reference or a first look at the catalog.
- No profile needed: Because browsing is the core function, there is nothing to sign up for before viewing entries.
- Limited depth from the list view: The page evidence shows names, a type icon and two numbers per Pokémon, so it is best treated as a compact index rather than a full strategy or stats tool.
A useful next step
If you want to check a specific Pokémon, start from the list and compare its two numbers against neighbours in the same evolutionary line — for example, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Venusaur appear together with differing values. That makes the list handy for spotting how entries change across an evolution line at a glance.
For broader reference alongside it, official sources such as Pokémon or community references like Bulbapedia can help interpret terms the list itself does not explain.
How does PokeList's Pokémon data differ from other online Pokédex tools?
PokeList is a single, flat catalog: one scrolling list of Pokémon showing a number, a type icon, and two numeric values (for Bulbasaur, "001 👊 7 - 70"). It is built for fast lookup of basic facts, not for the deep browsing that full Pokédex sites offer.
What the page itself shows
- A compact list format. Each entry is a name, a zero-padded number, a type icon, and two figures. The numbers sit side by side with no visible labels on the page, so a reader has to infer what they mean.
- No descriptions, evolution detail, or move data visible. Entries like "Charmander - 004 👊 6 - 55" are all you get per Pokémon; there is no flavor text, ability list, or stat breakdown in the excerpt.
- Generation 1 ordering. The list runs Bulbasaur through Raticate in classic National Pokédex order, which suits anyone working from memory of the first games.
How that compares with other tools
| Need | PokeList fits | Typical full Pokédex sites fit |
|---|---|---|
| Quick check of a number or type | Yes, at a glance | Yes, but with more page weight |
| Stats, moves, abilities, evolution chains | Not shown | Core feature |
| Flavor text or game-by-game availability | Not shown | Usually included |
| Fast scanning of many Pokémon in a row | Strong, because entries are one line | Weaker, because entries are card-like |
If you want a reference point for the fuller style, Pokémon Database and Bulbapedia cover stats, movesets and game availability in depth; Serebii is the usual pick for event and game-specific data.
A practical next step
Decide from the task, not the site's polish. If you are naming Pokémon in order, checking a type before a battle, or filling a spreadsheet, PokeList's one-line rows are quicker to scan than card layouts. If you need to know whether a Pokémon learns a move in a particular game, or how it evolves, go to a full Pokédex instead. A useful test: open the entry for a Pokémon you know well and see whether the page answers your actual question without a second tab.
