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. The Pokémon's name is at the top of the entry, with the category written underneath it.
Stats
Each Pokémon has the following stats below its name:
- Type
- Description
- How to say it
- Height (imperial and metric)
- Weight (imperial and metric)
- 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 labeled as such along the outer margin of the page.
Evolution chain
At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary family. Pokémon that do not evolve instead have the words "Does not evolve". 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. Any evolutions or pre-evolutions introduced in later generations are not included.
Errors
- Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan's pages incorrectly state that Hitmonlee evolves into Hitmonchan.
- Jynx's entry lists Perish Song twice.
- Mr. Mime's entry lists it as a pure Psychic type rather than Psychic/Fairy. While Mr. Mime was a pure Psychic type prior to Generation VI, it no longer was at the time of this book's publication.
- The back cover states "Stats and facts on Pokémon, from Bulbasaur to Mewtwo", even though the last Pokémon listed is Mew.
- Poliwrath's entry lists it as a pure Water type rather than Water/Fighting.
- Charizard's entry lists it as a pure Fire type rather than Fire/Flying.
