Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The seventh generation of the Pokémon series brought many new and exciting creatures! In 2016, the Nintendo 3DS games Sun and Moon introduced 86 new Pokémon. Then, in 2017, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon added a few more. Later, in 2018, the mobile game Pokémon Go and the Nintendo Switch games Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! introduced two more special Pokémon. This means there are a total of 88 different Pokémon in this generation! Some of these Pokémon even appeared in the Pokémon cartoons before the games came out.

After Pokémon X and Y, a team of about 20 artists, led by Ken Sugimori, designed all the new Pokémon. The adventures in Sun and Moon happen in the sunny Alola region, which is made up of tropical islands. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! take place in the Kanto region, where the very first Pokémon games were set. Pokémon Go is a special mobile game that uses your phone's GPS and camera to show Pokémon right in your real-world surroundings!

This list shows all 88 Pokémon from Generation 7, in order of their National Pokédex number. Pokémon from number 722 Rowlet to 802 Marshadow arrived in Sun and Moon in 2016. Pokémon from 803 Poipole to 807 Zeraora were released in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in 2017. Two special Mythical Pokémon, Meltan and Melmetal, first appeared in Pokémon Go in 2018. You can find Meltan in Pokémon Go if you send a Pokémon to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!. To get Melmetal, you need to evolve Meltan in Pokémon Go by collecting special candies.

Besides new Pokémon, two new forms of Zygarde also showed up in Sun and Moon. These forms had been seen before in the Pokémon anime. They are the dog-like "Zygarde 10% Forme" and the giant "Zygarde Complete (100%) Forme." Sometimes, Pokémon can also have "regional forms" that look different and have different types, like the Alolan Forms.

How Pokémon Are Designed

Pokémon Sun and Moon brought in "Alolan Forms" for some of the original Generation 1 Pokémon. These special versions show how Pokémon can change to fit the different climates in the Alola region. For example, Alolan Vulpix and Exeggutor look different and have new types. They were introduced along with the new Generation 7 Pokémon. Some people think the creators redesigned older Pokémon because fans really love the first 150 Pokémon.
