The Pokémon Deluxe Essential Handbook by Cris Silvestri is an edition of The Official Pokémon Handbook series that was published by Scholastic on July 28, 2015. It serves as a paper form of the National Pokédex for over 700 Pokémon, including Mega Evolutions, in alphabetical order. It is 368 pages long. Mysteriously enough, the Therian formes of the Forces of Nature are excluded, despite having been revealed months prior to the release of this book. This book also omits Hoopa, Volcanion and the formes of Zygarde due to them not having been revealed at the time of the release of the book.

Entries

The entries for each Pokémon are in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with another Pokémon. If a Pokémon has a Mega Evolution, it is listed immediately afterwards.

Name

Each entry is topped with a colored bar. These bars have the Pokémon's name, species name and regions they can be found in (either Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, or Kalos [Central, Coastal or Mountain]).

Stats

Each Pokémon has the following stats below its name:

  1. Type
  2. Description
  3. Pronunciation
  4. Height
  5. Weight
  6. Possible Moves (moves the Pokémon will learn by leveling up)

Image and other information

Each Pokémon has an anime-style picture on its page. Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are labelled as such and there is a glow around the Pokémon.

Evolution chain

At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary family, including the Pokémon's Mega Evolution. Pokémon that do not evolve do not have an evolution chain. A Pokémon that is on one side of a branched evolution will show itself, and the Pokémon it evolved from, but not the other side of the branch.

Errors

  • Spearow's picture on page 354 shows Fearow instead.
  • Reshiram's weight is listed as 6,727.5 lbs, rather than 727.5 lbs.
  • Unown's exclamation and question mark forms are omitted, despite having existed years before the book was printed.
