The power of science is staggering! The Scientific Pokédex was created in February 2015 to explore the world of Pokémon through real world science. Using the in-game Pokédex entries, we will explain how Pikachu stores electricity, calculate the speed at which Team Rocket blasts off, discuss the real-world animal inspirations behind your favorite pokémon, and much, much more.

A variety of advanced scientific topics will be discussed, from biology to chemistry and physics, but the goal is always to write clear, understandable, and educational entries. We’re sort of the Mythbusters of the Pokémon Universe.

What Pokémon have you covered so far?

We have a Full Pokédex Page that lists all of the pokémon we have analyzed so far. Check it out to see if we’ve done your favorite! You can also just search on our blog.

Can I request a Pokémon?

Yes!Requests are currently open. Please send your request to our ask box,and we’ll get to it as soon as we can!
