- The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is The Official Pokémon Handbook #2.
The Official Pokémon Handbook #2 by Maria S. Barbo is a handbook that was published in 2001. It is one of the sequels to the The Official Pokémon Handbook. It reveals 33 Pokémon in the Johto Pokédex.
Entries
Every Pokémon with an entry has a page to itself.
Name
Each entry is topped with a large, odd-shaped box. It has the Pokémon's name and Pokédex number, underneath is its species (e.g. Aqua Mouse Pokémon for Marill). On the side of the page is a section that has many facts about the Pokémon itself.
Stats
On the side of the pages, the entries list the following stats:
- Name pronunciation
- Type
- Height (in inches and feet)
- Weight (in pounds)
- Techniques (the basic and most commonly used moves of that Pokémon)
- Evolution (either "_____ evolves into _____" or "_____ Does Not Evolve")
Techniques and other techniques are not listed with the levels at which they are learned, and not all the moves the Pokémon can learn appear.
Image and other information
Each Pokémon has a picture on its page and some pages also feature a "Pokédex Pick," with extra facts about the Pokémon that will cross over in the anime or sometimes have helpful information.
Evolution Chain
At the very bottom of the entry there are pictures with arrows between them to show what the Pokémon evolves into. Pokémon that do not evolve do not have an evolution chain.
