List of generation VII Pokémon

The seventh generation (Generation VII) of the Pokémon franchise features 86 fictional species of collectible creatures called "Pokémon" introduced to the core video game series in the 2016 Nintendo 3DS games Pokémon Sun and Moon and the 2017 3DS games Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Two further species were introduced in a 2018 update to the spin-off mobile game Pokémon Go, as well as the 2018 core series Nintendo Switch games Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, culminating in a total of 88 different species. Some Pokémon species in this generation were introduced in animated adaptations of the franchise before Sun and Moon.

Following Pokémon X and Y, all Pokémon have been designed by a team of roughly 20 artists, led by Ken Sugimori and Hironobu Yoshida. The events of Sun and Moon take place in the fictional region of Alola, composed entirely of tropical islands. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are set in the Kanto region, the same setting as generation one. Pokémon Go is an augmented reality mobile game which uses the GPS and camera functions on the players' smartphones to display wild Pokémon in the player's surrounding environment.

The following list details the 88 Pokémon of Generation seven in order of their National Pokédex number. Pokémon number 722 Rowlet to number 802 Marshadow were introduced in Sun and Moon in 2016 and number 803 Poipole to number 807 Zeraora were released in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in 2017. Two mythical Pokémon, Meltan and Melmetal, debuted in Pokémon Go in 2018; Meltan appears in the wild in Pokémon Go when a Pokémon is transferred to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, while Melmetal is only obtainable by evolving Meltan in Pokémon Go when the player collects candies. In addition to the new species of Pokémon, two new forms of Zygarde appeared in Sun and Moon—having previously appeared in the Pokémon anime: the dog-like "Zygarde 10% Forme" and mech-like "Zygarde Complete (100%) Forme". Alternate forms that result in type changes and regional forms are included for convenience.

Design and development

Pokémon are fictional species created for the Pokémon franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the series began in Japan in 1996 with the release of the video games Pokémon Red and Blue for the Game Boy. In these games, the player assumes the role of a Pokémon Trainer whose goal is to capture and train creatures called Pokémon. Players use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon, and some can transform into stronger species through a process called evolution. Pokémon also have various types, which are elemental attributes that determine a Pokémon's strengths and weaknesses in combat.

Pokémon Sun and Moon introduced "Alolan Forms" of various generation I Pokémon. These versions are to represent the different microclimates in the Alola region. The Alolan versions of Pokémon like Vulpix and Exeggutor have different appearances and types and were introduced alongside generation VII Pokémon. Alex Hern of The Guardian suggested that the developers likely decided to redesign various generation I Pokémon because, according to him, "fan connection with the original 150 Pokémon is as strong as it ever was, the number of people who can tell a Pancham from a Swirlix is much smaller".
