The '''National Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|全国図鑑|ぜんこくずかん}}''' ''national encyclopedia'') is a [[Pokédex]] that has been upgraded with the '''National Mode''' that records information from Pokémon around the {{pkmn|nation}}, instead of just ones native in a particular [[region]]. The National Pokédex is not available at the start of the games, but it can be unlocked by completing certain tasks.
The '''National Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|全国図鑑|ぜんこくずかん}}''' ''national illustrated encyclopedia'') is a [[Pokédex]] that has been upgraded with the '''National Mode''' (Japanese: '''全国版''' ''National Edition'') that records information on all Pokémon known to exist, instead of just ones native in a particular [[region]]. The National Pokédex is not available at the start of the games, but it can be unlocked by completing certain tasks. Beginning with [[Generation VII]], the National Pokédex is no longer typically included in the main series games, but it can be accessed through storage apps like [[Pokémon Bank]] (Version 1.3 and onward) and [[Pokémon HOME]].


National Pokédex order was known as Old Pokédex Mode (Japanese: ふるいずかんモード ''old-style encyclopedia mode'') in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Johto's regional Pokédex order at the time was known as [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex Mode]] (Japanese: しんがたずかんモード ''new-style encyclopedia mode''). This arose from the fact that [[Generation I]] was the only previous [[generation]], and one could {{pkmn|journey}} to [[Kanto]] in [[Generation II]]. After [[Hoenn]] received [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|its own Pokédex order]], however, the numbering system that began with {{p|Bulbasaur}} had to change its name so as not to reference Kanto, itself inaccessible in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. Considering that the term "Kanto Pokédex" went on to reference only the first 151 members of the National Pokédex, while the "Johto Pokédex" references the new order for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, everything straightened itself out in the end.
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the equivalent of the National Pokédex order was known as '''Old Pokédex Mode''' (Japanese: ふるいずかんモード ''old-style encyclopedia mode''), while Johto's regional Pokédex order at the time was known as [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex Mode]] (Japanese: しんがたずかんモード ''new-style encyclopedia mode'').


==[[Generation III]]==
The first 151 entries of the National Pokédex also doubles as the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the [[Pokédex]] is upgraded with the National Mode after the game trades with {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald|or}}. Trading with {{g|Colosseum}} or {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} will not unlock the National Pokédex.

{{main|List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number}}


After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player can obtain Pokémon introduced in {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Generations II}} and {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|III}} via [[trade]] and [[evolution]]. This allows [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|Generation I Pokémon to evolve into their Generation II forms]] (such as {{p|Golbat}} being able to evolve into {{p|Crobat}}); prior to obtaining the National Pokédex, these Pokémon will try to evolve but fail. However, the player cannot trade with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} until they have delivered the {{key|III|Ruby}} and {{key|III|Sapphire}} to [[Celio]] in the [[Pokémon Network Center]] on [[Knot Island]] to put into the Network Machine.
In every generation, new Pokémon are added to the National Pokédex. The Pokémon numbers are as follows:


===Pokémon Emerald===
* {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}: #0001 {{p|Bulbasaur}} - #0151 {{p|Mew}}
* {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}: #0152 {{p|Chikorita}} - #0251 {{p|Celebi}}
* {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}: #0252 {{p|Treecko}} - #0386 {{p|Deoxys}}
* {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}: #0387 {{p|Turtwig}} - #0493 {{p|Arceus}}
* {{cat|Generation V Pokémon}}: #0494 {{p|Victini}} - #0649 {{p|Genesect}}
* {{cat|Generation VI Pokémon}}: #0650 {{p|Chespin}} - #0721 {{p|Volcanion}}

* {{cat|Generation IX Pokémon}}: #0906 {{p|Sprigatito}} - #1025 {{p|Pecharunt}}
 
==In the core series games==
===[[Generation II]]===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the [[Pokédex]] lists Pokémon by their [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]] order (Johto's [[regional Pokédex]]) by default. The player has the option to change it to the Old Pokédex order, which is available from the beginning.
 
Additionally, Old Pokédex numbers are used throughout the Generation II games.

After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player can obtain Pokémon introduced in {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Generations II}} and {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|III}} via [[trade]] and [[Evolution]].

Unlike most games, non-[[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|native]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are obtainable without the National Pokédex; they begin appearing as soon as the player has met the prerequisites to obtain the National Pokédex, regardless of whether they actually have it.

===[[Generation VII]]===
====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
[[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] do not include the National Pokédex.

As [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are remakes of [[Generation I]] and only feature the first 151 Pokémon, plus {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, the National Pokédex is absent. In addition, only the aforementioned Pokémon can be used in game, despite prior games allowing for the use of all Pokémon introduced prior to or introduced in the specified game.
 
Meltan and Melmetal are registered as #152 and #153 in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! expansion|Kanto Pokédex}}, respectively.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the National Pokédex includes all 493 Pokémon (excluding [[regional form|regional forms]]), introduced between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation IV]]. if the player has seen the all of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (excluding [[Manaphy (Pokémon)|Manaphy]]), and talks to [[Professor Rowan]] in his lab in [[Sandgem Town]], [[Professor Oak]] will arrive and upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], if a game with the National Pokédex is used with Box, Box's [[Pokédex]] Mode will be upgraded to the National Mode. As FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald cannot link with Box until after obtaining the National Dex, using one of them will therefore unlock National Mode.
 
===Pokémon Bank===
As part of its version 1.3 update to be compatible with [[Generation VII]], a National Pokédex feature was also added to [[Pokémon Bank]]. Bank's National Pokédex is able to display Pokédex entries from any game between [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The Pokédex is updated based on the data of any game that is used to connect to Pokémon Bank.
 
The five Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] have a blank Pokédex entry, but other statistics such as height and weight still appear.
 
Pokémon Bank's National Pokédex has an extensive search feature, including the ability to filter Pokémon by the games they are naturally available in (not counting the possibility of obtaining a Pokémon by breeding or evolving), as well as the ability to show the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]], "[[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Good Old Hoenn]]", [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]], [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Unova]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos]] (divided into Central, Coastal, and Mountain), [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn]], and Alola (both [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun and Moon]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]) Pokédex orders.
 
===Pokémon HOME===
[[Pokémon HOME]] includes the full National Pokédex. It includes every Pokédex description since [[Pokémon X and Y]], for each Pokémon. Completing the National Pokédex by registering every Pokémon (including all [[Mythical Pokémon]]) up to {{p|Eternatus}} in HOME [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII#Magearna|rewards]] the player with an {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}}, a form which cannot be obtained otherwise.
 
==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the Pokémon are listed by their National Pokédex number. This applies to the list of Pokémon recruited by the player, and also to the list of Pokémon available when the player is buying Friend Areas from Wigglytuff.
 
===Pokémon Pinball===
In [[Pokémon Pinball]], the Pokédex lists Pokémon ordered by their [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex number]] (which is the same as their National Pokédex number).
 
===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, all Pokémon cards have their [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex number]] (which is the same as their National Pokédex number).
 
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], almost all Pokémon cards are still native from Kanto, and display their Kanto Pokédex number. The only exceptions are three new [[Generation II]] Pokémon cards: {{OBP|Togepi|Wizards Promo 30}}, {{OBP|Marill|Wizards Promo 29}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB2|Lugia|promo}}. They display their Old Pokédex number (175, 183, and 249, respectively).
 
===Pokémon Tetris===
In [[Pokémon Tetris]], the Pokédex lists Pokémon ordered by their Old Pokédex number (later known as the National Pokédex).
 
==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS282|Going Green]]'', it was revealed that {{adv|Professor Oak}} had requested the Pokédexes back from {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} in order to upgrade them to National Pokédexes so that they could collect data from other [[region]]s. This was accomplished in ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', as Oak transferred the data from the old Pokédexes into new ones and inserted a special computer chip into each of them.
 
===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
In ''[[PASS30|Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry]]'', {{Casey}} was given access to [[Macro Cosmos]]'s National Pokédex database so she could help track down the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]] following their disappearance at the end of the first showdown against {{p|Eternatus}}. Knowing the artifacts had come into contact with Eternatus's poison, Casey was able to find signs of the same poison at the [[Isle of Armor]] and the [[Crown Tundra]].


==[[Generation VI]]==
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
===Pokémon X and Y===
In ''[[DPAS6|Hareta's Future]]'', [[Mitsumi]] gave [[Hareta]] an upgraded National Pokédex.
In {{g|X and Y}}, after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], upon entering {{DL|Lumiose City|Lumiose Station}} [[Dexio]] will upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Pokédex.<!--Unlike previous generations, Phione is needed to complete the National Pokédex.-->


===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
==Trivia==
In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player has defeated or {{pkmn2|caught}} the [[Weather trio|super-ancient Pokémon]], if they talk to [[Professor Birch]] in his lab in [[Littleroot Town]], he will upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Pokédex.
* In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VI}}, it is possible to complete the National Pokédex (Kanto Pokédex in Generation I) entirely with Pokémon obtained in the [[core series]] games of the current generation.
** In Generations {{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, completing the National Pokédex (Old Pokédex in Generation II) requires Pokémon obtained in games from previous generations or events.
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, completing the National Pokédex was not possible until the release of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] since there was no feature to [[transfer]] Pokémon from earlier generations. Once {{game|Emerald}} was released, Colosseum was not necessary anymore to complete the National Pokédex.
** In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], completing the National Pokédex with no [[event Pokémon|event-only Pokémon]] was not possible prior to the release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. This requires catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, which were event-only in Black and White, but are normally available in Black 2 and White 2.
* Because the [[legendary giants]] can be encountered after defeating [[Cynthia]] but before acquiring National Pokédex in {{game|Platinum}}, it is the only occasion where Pokémon not included in the [[regional Pokédex]] can be encountered before the National Pokédex is unlocked in games with a National Pokédex, outside of {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where such situation is common.


Unlike most games, non-[[List of Pokémon by New Hoenn Pokédex number|native]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are obtainable without the National Pokédex; they begin appearing as soon as the player has met the prerequisites to obtain the National Pokédex, regardless of whether they obtain it. Using the [[PokéNav Plus]] to attempt to view their Pokédex entries will result in an entry of red text saying that no information is available on the Pokémon, and the areas found display will show "No reported sightings" over the map.

Platinum's National Pokédex mode
Each new generation begins its numbering from the end of the last generation. Cyndaquil, at #155, is the fourth Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

The National Pokédex (Japanese: 全国図鑑 national illustrated encyclopedia) is a Pokédex that has been upgraded with the National Mode (Japanese: 全国版 National Edition) that records information on all Pokémon known to exist, instead of just ones native in a particular region. The National Pokédex is not available at the start of the games, but it can be unlocked by completing certain tasks. Beginning with Generation VII, the National Pokédex is no longer typically included in the main series games, but it can be accessed through storage apps like Pokémon Bank (Version 1.3 and onward) and Pokémon HOME.

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the equivalent of the National Pokédex order was known as Old Pokédex Mode (Japanese: ふるいずかんモード old-style encyclopedia mode), while Johto's regional Pokédex order at the time was known as New Pokédex Mode (Japanese: しんがたずかんモード new-style encyclopedia mode).

The first 151 entries of the National Pokédex also doubles as the Kanto Pokédex.

Comparison between generations

Main article: List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number

In every generation, new Pokémon are added to the National Pokédex. The Pokémon numbers are as follows:

In the core series games

Generation II

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Pokédex lists Pokémon by their New Pokédex order (Johto's regional Pokédex) by default. The player has the option to change it to the Old Pokédex order, which is available from the beginning.

Additionally, Old Pokédex numbers are used throughout the Generation II games.

Generation III

Generation III introduced the term "National Pokédex".

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the Pokédex is upgraded with the National Mode after the game trades with FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, whenever or not Ruby or Sapphire is receiving a Pokémon not in the Hoenn Dex.

Trading with Pokémon Colosseum or XD: Gale of Darkness does not unlock the National Pokédex.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, if the player has 60 or more Pokémon owned in the Kanto Pokédex, has visited One Island, and has entered the Hall of Fame, upon talking to Professor Oak in his lab in Pallet Town, he will upgrade both the player's and Blue's Pokédexes with the National Mode.

After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player can obtain Pokémon introduced in Generations II and III via trade and Evolution. This allows Generation I Pokémon to evolve into their Generation II forms (such as Golbat being able to evolve into Crobat); prior to obtaining the National Pokédex, these Pokémon will try to evolve but fail. However, the player cannot trade with Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald until they have delivered the Ruby and Sapphire to Celio in the Pokémon Network Center on One Island to put into the Network Machine.

Pokémon Emerald

In Pokémon Emerald, after the player enters the Hall of Fame for the first time, when they exit their house in Littleroot Town after resuming their game, Professor Birch and Brendan or May will be waiting for the player. Birch will escort the two of them to his lab, where he will upgrade both of their Pokédexes with the National Mode.

After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player unlocks the ability to trade with FireRed, LeafGreen and XD: Gale of Darkness (and can also trade for Eggs) if that game has unlocked the ability to trade with Emerald. After obtaining the National Pokédex, if the player has collected all 200 non-Mythical Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex, Birch will offer the player their choice of one of the Johto first partner Pokémon.

In Pokémon Platinum, if the player has seen all 210 Pokémon in the expanded Sinnoh Pokédex, they can obtain the National Pokédex. If the player has met the appropriate condition for that game and talks to Professor Rowan in his lab in Sandgem Town, Professor Oak will arrive and upgrade the player's Pokédex with the National Mode.

Unlike most games, non-native Pokémon are obtainable without the National Pokédex; they begin appearing as soon as the player has met the prerequisites to obtain the National Pokédex, regardless of whether they actually have it. Using the PokéNav Plus to attempt to view their Pokédex entries will result in an entry of red text saying that no information is available on the Pokémon, and the areas found display will show "No reported sightings" over the map.

In the side series games

Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire

In Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, if a game with the National Pokédex is used with Box, Box's Pokédex Mode will be upgraded to the National Mode. As FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald cannot link with Box until after obtaining the National Dex, using one of them will therefore unlock National Mode.

Pokémon Bank

As part of its version 1.3 update to be compatible with Generation VII, a National Pokédex feature was also added to Pokémon Bank. Bank's National Pokédex is able to display Pokédex entries from any game between Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Sun and Moon. The Pokédex is updated based on the data of any game that is used to connect to Pokémon Bank.

The five Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have a blank Pokédex entry, but other statistics such as height and weight still appear.

Pokémon Bank's National Pokédex has an extensive search feature, including the ability to filter Pokémon by the games they are naturally available in (not counting the possibility of obtaining a Pokémon by breeding or evolving), as well as the ability to show the Kanto, Johto, "Good Old Hoenn", Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos (divided into Central, Coastal, and Mountain), Hoenn, and Alola (both Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon) Pokédex orders.

Pokémon HOME

Pokémon HOME includes the full National Pokédex. It includes every Pokédex description since Pokémon X and Y, for each Pokémon.

This was accomplished in Secrets from Sneasel, as Oak transferred the data from the old Pokédexes into new ones and inserted a special computer chip into each of them.

Sword & Shield arc

In Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry, Casey was given access to Macro Cosmos's National Pokédex database so she could help track down the Rusted Sword and Shield following their disappearance at the end of the first showdown against Eternatus.
