How many Pokemon are in Red and Blue?

151. That's the original Kanto Pokedex, running from Bulbasaur (#001) to Mew (#151). There's no National Dex expansion here. What you see is what you get.

What are the version exclusives in Red and Blue?

Red gets Ekans , Oddish , Mankey , Growlithe , Scyther , and Electabuzz . Blue gets Sandshrew , Bellsprout , Meowth , Vulpix , Pinsir , and Magmar . You need to trade to complete the dex.

What is the best starter in Red and Blue?

Squirtle gives you the smoothest early game. Blastoise handles Brock, Misty isn't a problem, and Water coverage stays useful through the whole run. Bulbasaur breezes through the first two gyms but falls off later. Charmander is a rough start, but Charizard is a fan favorite for a reason.

Why are Psychic types so strong in Gen 1?

Gen 1 Psychic has no real counters. Ghost moves don't affect Psychic due to a bug, Bug-type moves are all terrible (Pin Missile and Twineedle at best), and Dark type doesn't exist yet. Alakazam with 135 Special deals massive damage and tanks special attacks since Sp. Atk and Sp. Def aren't split.

What generation is Pokemon Red and Blue?

Generation 1. Released in 1996 in Japan and 1998 in North America for the Game Boy. These are the games that started everything. The mechanics are different from modern games: no abilities, no held items, no breeding, and the Special stat controls both offense and defense.

How does the crit rate work in Gen 1?

Speed directly affects your critical hit rate in Gen 1. The formula uses base Speed divided by 512. Fast Pokemon like Persian (115 Speed) crit nearly 27% of the time with Slash, which has a high-crit modifier. This makes Speed one of the most important stats in Red and Blue.

Which is better, Red or Blue?

It comes down to the exclusives you want. Red gets Growlithe (one of the few good Fire types) and Scyther . Blue gets Vulpix and Meowth . The story, map, and mechanics are identical. Pick the version that has the Pokemon you like.

Pokemon Red & Blue Pokedex - All 151 Gen 1 Pokemon

ALL RED & BLUE POKEMON

Red and Blue's Kanto Pokedex is the original 151. Every Pokemon on this page has Gen 1 stats, typing, and evolution data. There's no Special split here. One stat handles both Sp. Atk and Sp. Def, which is why Alakazam and Starmie are so dominant. Use the sidebar to filter by type or sort by base stat total. Click any card for the full stat breakdown, moveset, and where to catch it in Red and Blue.

How to complete the Pokedex in Red & Blue

Red and Blue each lock certain Pokemon behind version exclusivity. Ekans, Oddish, Mankey, and Growlithe are Red-only. Sandshrew, Vulpix, Meowth, and Bellsprout are Blue-only. You'll need a link cable trade partner to fill both sides.

Four Pokemon only evolve through trading: Alakazam, Machamp, Golem, and Gengar. Mew was distributed at Nintendo events and doesn't appear in normal gameplay. It's not required for the diploma, though. Catch or trade for the other 150 and Professor Oak considers you done.
