Weight

Weight (Japanese: さ weight) is a measure of the of a Pokémon. This is measured in s (in all languages except English) or (in English).
==List of Pokémon by weight==
Every Pokémon species has a specific weight that is displayed in the Pokédex for that species. Some species have different weights in different forms.
==In the core series games==
The Pokédex lists a weight for each Pokémon species. In English, weight is displayed in (to one decimal place); in all other languages, it is displayed in s (to one decimal place). All game mechanics based on weight use kilograms for their calculations.
In most core series games, all members of the species in the same form have the same weight.
In (like in ), each individual Pokémon has its own weight, with the value in the Pokédex simply being an average weight for Pokémon of that species.
===Weight-modifying effects===
From Generation V onwards, there are several effects that can modify a Pokémon's weight in battle. They are applied in the order they are listed below.
* A Pokémon that uses has its base weight decreased by 100 kg (220 lbs.) each time it uses the move and successfully changes its .
* A Pokémon with the Ability or functions as twice or half its previously determined weight, respectively.
* A Pokémon holding a Float Stone functions as half its previously determined weight.
A Pokémon's weight cannot drop below 0.1 kg. Weight is stored with a granularity of 0.1 kg; if an effect halves a Pokémon's weight, the result is rounded down to the next-lower multiple of 0.1 (but cannot drop below the minimum 0.1 kg).
From Generation VI onward, if a Pokémon changes form, any previously accumulated weight modifications due to Autotomize are lost.
===Game mechanics affected by weight===
Weight affects the following mechanics. Because the games use weight in kilograms for functional purposes, are shown first, followed by .
Dynamax Pokémon do not have specific weight values. Moves affected by weight fail if they target a Dynamax Pokémon.
In , all Pokémon have a scale value ranging from 0 to 255 that affects their displayed size. However, that scale value is purely aesthetic and has no other effect on gameplay.
====Low Kick and Grass Knot====
From Generation III onward, the moves and have a base power of 20, increasing in power based on the target's weight, at specific increments.
Target's weight 	Target's weight 	Power
Metric 	US customary 	Power
0.1 - 9.9 kg 	0.1 - 21.8 lbs. 	20
10.0 - 24.9 kg 	21.9 - 55.0 lbs. 	40
25.0 - 49.9 kg 	55.1 - 110.0 lbs. 	60
50.0 - 99.9 kg 	110.2 - 220.2 lbs.	80
100.0 - 199.9 kg	220.4 - 440.7 lbs.	100
200.0 kg or more	440.9 lbs. or more	120
====Heat Crash and Heavy Slam====
The power of the moves and depends on the weight of both the user and the target; the lighter the target is in comparison to the user, the greater the power.
Target's relative weight	Power
More than 50% 	40
33.35% - 50% 	60
25.01% - 33.34% 	80
20.01% - 25% 	100
20% or less 	120
====Sky Drop====
From Generation VI onward, Pokémon weighing at least 200 kg (440.9 lbs.) cannot be taken into the air by another Pokémon's .
====Heavy Ball====
In games in which Heavy Balls are available, using them modifies the catch rate of the targeted Pokémon depending on its weight (ignoring weight-changing effects).

====Battle rules====
Pokémon weighing more than 20.0 kg (44.1 lbs.) are not eligible to compete in the Fancy Cup (known as the Petit Cup in Generation I).
Pokémon weighing more than 99.0 kg (218.3 lbs.) are not eligible to compete in the Light Cup.
====Battle entry animation====
Since Generation V, certain visual and sound effects are applied when a Pokémon lands on the surface of a battlefield, depending on the Pokémon's weight (ignoring weight-changing effects). , , , and Pokémon that float above the surface of the battlefield do not cause any such effects. Pokémon holding an Air Balloon also do not cause any such effects, even if the item's function is being suppressed by or .
In Generation V:
* Small shake and high-pitched landing noise for Pokémon weighing 49.9 kg (110.0 lbs.) or less. 
* Medium shake and lower landing noise for Pokémon weighing between 50 kg (110.2 lbs.) and 149.9 kg (330.5 lbs.). 
* Heavy shake, crashing sound and dust for Pokémon weighing 150 kg (330.7 lbs.) or more. 
In Generation VI and VII:
* Quiet landing noise for Pokémon weighing 49.9 kg (110.0 lbs.) or less. 
* Louder landing noise for Pokémon weighing between 50 kg (110.2 lbs.) and 99.9kg (220.3 lbs.) 
* Heavy landing noise and a small dust cloud for Pokémon weighing between 100 kg (220.5 lbs.) and 199.9kg (440.7 lbs.) 
* Deeper heavy landing noise and a large dust cloud for Pokémon weighing 200 kg (440.9 lbs.) or more 
When a Pokémon is Dynamaxed, it is sent out from a Dynamaxed Poké Ball and causing a landing visual effect (unless the Pokémon cannot land on the ground, such as or ). This visual effect is unaffected by weight.
====Other====
In , in the "Compare" section of the Pokédex, if the player taps a Pokémon's menu sprite, ten simplified Pokémon sprites will fly onto the screen, encircle and lift the Pokémon's model up, before dropping, with a number of them flying off the screen, with the number remaining depending on the Pokémon's weight; more Flying-type Pokémon will remain for heavier Pokémon. If the Pokémon is , , or , the Flying-type Pokémon will all disperse before even attempting to lift it.
Numberremaining	Weight
2 	At most 9.9 kg (21.8 lbs.)
3 	Between 10.0 kg (22.0 lbs.) and 29.9 kg (65.9 lbs.)
4 	Between 30.0 kg (66.1 lbs.) and 59.9 kg (132.1 lbs.)
5 	Between 60.0 kg (132.3 lbs.) and 99.9 kg (220.2 lbs.)
6 	Between 100.0 kg (220.5 lbs.) and 149.9 kg (330.5 lbs.)
7 	Between 150.0 kg (330.7 lbs.) and 209.9 kg (462.8 lbs.)
8 	Between 210.0 kg (463.0 lbs.) and 279.9 kg (617.1 lbs.)
9 	Between 280.0 kg (617.3 lbs.) and 359.9 kg (793.4 lbs.)
10 	At least 360.0 kg (793.7 lbs.)
Similarly, in 's weight comparison feature, a different animation will play depending on the Pokémon's weight.
==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In , each individual Pokémon has its own weight, with the value in the Pokédex simply being an average weight for Pokémon of that species.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese games , weighs 6.0 kg instead of 60.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance.
* In the Japanese game , weighs 2.0 kg instead of 20.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance.
* Prior to , the displayed weight in pounds for , , , , , , and were incorrectly rounded down, displaying as 0.1 lbs. lower than the correctly rounded value.
* Several glitch Pokémon from Generation I, such as MissingNo., far exceed normal weight measurements. For example, the heaviest real Pokémon weigh in at 2204.4 lbs. (999.9 kg), while MissingNo. weighs 3507.2 lbs. (1590.8 kg), and h POKé weighs 6099.0 lbs. (2766.5 kg).
* In only, there is a glitch that causes the retrieved weights of , , and to become junk data that are, in turn, interpreted as massive weights, causing these particular Pokémon to receive the +40 capture modifier for the Heavy Ball.https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L763
* The heaviest possible weight a Pokémon can have in the games is 4,408.8 lbs (1,999.8 kg). This can be achieved by using or to give the Ability to or .
