Every Pokémon has a type and sometimes even two! From pure Fire or Water types to unique dual-type combinations like Grass/Poison or Steel/Fairy, typing plays a huge role in how Pokémon behave, battle, and are categorized.

This sunburst visualization explores the breakdown of Pokémon types, starting with primary (first) types at the core and expanding outward to show how those types combine with secondary types. It reveals both the most common type pairings and the rarer combinations that make certain Pokémon stand out.
Data SourceThe Pokédex currently contains 1,025 Pokémon species, but that number doesn’t tell the full story. Many Pokémon also exist in multiple forms, such as Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax forms, and regional variants like Alolan or Hisuian forms. These forms are not separate species, but alternate versions of the same Pokémon that change in appearance, type, or strength depending on their environment or battle conditions.
This visualization shows that Pokémon growth is not only about adding new species each generation, but also about evolving and reimagining existing ones through new forms and mechanics. It highlights how the franchise continues to build on its past while keeping the experience fresh, diverse, and increasingly complex.
The Base category represents all 1,025 officially registered Pokémon i n the Pokédex across all generations.
Let's see how different forms of the base 1,25 Pokemon show the true growth of Pokemon
Disclaimer: This data does not include shinies, seasonal, gendered, or Alcremie's forms of Pokemon.
Data SourceAt the start of every new region in Pokémon, players are introduced to a set of starter Pokémon, a grass type, fire type, and water type. These are the first Pokémon players encounter and choose, marking the beginning of their journey. More than just an early decision, this choice shapes the player’s experience, as the selected starter becomes a long-term companion that battles, evolves, and grows alongside them throughout the game.
