==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. If a Pokémon has a Mega Evolution, it is listed immediately afterwards. 
===Name===
Each entry is topped with a colored bar. These bars have the Pokémon's name, species name, and the region they can be found in.
===Stats===
Each Pokémon has the following stats below its name:
# Type
# Description
# Pronunciation
# Height
# Weight
# 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 labelled as such and there is a glow around the Pokémon.
===Evolution chain===
At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary family, including the Pokémon's Mega Evolution. Pokémon that do not evolve do not have an evolution chain. 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.
