In the world of Pokémon, several humans become Pokémon Trainers, who capture Pokémon using a Poké Ball to then keep them as a traditional pet or to have them engage in Pokémon battles. The relationship between a Pokémon and a human varies, depending on the species and personality. For example, a Pichu can evolve into a Pikachu with high friendship, and a Pikachu can then later evolve into its final form, Raichu, with a Thunder Stone.

Certain Pokémon have their own evolutions, which are different Pokémon that they can evolve into once certain requirements have been met. For example, Darkrai is very fast and strong but has mediocre defensive ability. Each Pokémon has unique stats and characteristics. For example, Pikachu, being an Electric Pokémon, specializes in electrical attacks, which are effective against both Flying and Water Pokémon, but in turn are weak against Grass Pokémon and ineffective against Ground Pokémon.

The most powerful types of Pokémon are Legendary Pokémon, who are usually the subject of myths and urban legends within the world of Pokémon.Įach Pokémon has an elemental type, which affects their attacks, abilities, and weaknesses. Pokémon are found all over the world of Pokémon, and their habitat varies depending on the species, much like creatures in the real world. There are over 1,000 documented species of Pokémon, and they take from a wide variety of inspirations including animals, plants, mythological creatures, and objects. Pokémon (ポケモン, Pokemon), shortened from Pocket Monster (ポケットモンスター, Poketto Monsutaa), are a group of fantastical creatures who are the central focus and main feature of the Pokémon franchise.
