The seventh generation (Generation VII) of the Pokémon franchise features 86 fictional species of collectible creatures called "Pokémon" introduced to the core video game series in the 2016 Nintendo 3DS games Pokémon Sun and Moon and the 2017 3DS games Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Two further species were introduced in a 2018 update to the spin-off mobile game Pokémon Go, as well as the 2018 core series Nintendo Switch games Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, culminating in a total of 88 different species. Some Pokémon species in this generation were introduced in animated adaptations of the franchise before Sun and Moon.

Following Pokémon X and Y, all Pokémon have been designed by a team of roughly 20 artists, led by Ken Sugimori and Hironobu Yoshida.^[1] The events of Sun and Moon take place in the fictional region of Alola, composed entirely of tropical islands.^[2] Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are set in the Kanto region, the same setting as generation one.^[3] Pokémon Go is an augmented reality mobile game which uses the GPS and camera functions on the players' smartphones to display wild Pokémon in the player's surrounding environment.^[4]

The following list details the 88 Pokémon of Generation seven in order of their National Pokédex number. Pokémon number 722 Rowlet to number 802 Marshadow were introduced in Sun and Moon in 2016 and number 803 Poipole to number 807 Zeraora were released in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in 2017. Two mythical Pokémon, Meltan and Melmetal, debuted in Pokémon Go in 2018; Meltan appears in the wild in Pokémon Go when a Pokémon is transferred to Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, while Melmetal is only obtainable by evolving Meltan in Pokémon Go when the player collects candies.^[5] In addition to the new species of Pokémon, two new forms of Zygarde appeared in Sun and Moon—having previously appeared in the Pokémon anime: the dog-like "Zygarde 10% Forme" and mech-like "Zygarde Complete (100%) Forme".^[6] Alternate forms that result in type changes and regional forms are included for convenience.

Design and development

Pokémon are a species of fictional creatures created for the Pokémon media franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the Japanese franchise began in 1996 with the video games Pokémon Red and Green for the Game Boy, which were later released in North America as Pokémon Red and Blue in 1998.^[7] In these games and their sequels, the player assumes the role of a Trainer whose goal is to capture and use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon. Some Pokémon can transform into stronger species through a process called evolution via various means, such as exposure to specific items.^[8] Each Pokémon have one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and disadvantages when battling other Pokémon.^[9] A major goal in each game is to complete the Pokédex, a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading with other Trainers to obtain individuals from all Pokémon species.^[8]

Pokémon Sun and Moon introduced "Alolan Forms" of various generation I Pokémon. These versions are to represent the different microclimates in the Alola region. The Alolan versions of Pokémon like Vulpix and Exeggutor have different appearances and types and were introduced alongside generation VII Pokémon.^[10] Alex Hern of The Guardian suggested that the developers likely decided to redesign various generation I Pokémon because, according to him, "fan connection with the original 150 Pokémon is as strong as it ever was, the number of people who can tell a Pancham from a Swirlix is much smaller".^[11]

Buzzwole Masshibūn (マッシブーン) (0794)		Bug / Fighting	No evolution		Known as UB-02 Absorption,[42] It is an Ultra Beast that appeared from an Ultra Wormhole.

It goes around flexing its muscles, but it is unclear whether this is a greeting or a warning. People have seen it pulverize a dump truck with a single punch. It might be a dangerous alien here, but it is apparently a common organism in its home world, the Ultra Jungle.
Pheromosa Ferōche (フェローチェ) (0795)		Bug / Fighting	No evolution		Known as UB-02 Beauty,[42] its an Ultra Beast that appeared from an Ultra Wormhole.

It refuses to touch anything, most likely due to it sensing uncleanliness in this world. It might be a dangerous alien here, but it is apparently a common organism in its home world, the Ultra Desert.
Xurkitree Denjumoku (デンジュモク) (0796)		Electric	No evolution		Known as UB-03 Lighting,[42] it is an Ultra Beast that appeared from an Ultra Wormhole. It resembles wires and large trees. Electric shocks emanate from its entire body and it once raided a power plant, so we believe it energizes itself with electricity. Some Xurkitree stand unmoving, with their arms and legs stuck in the ground to drain electricity. It might be a dangerous alien here, but it is apparently a common organism in its home world, the Ultra Plant.
Celesteela Tekkaguya (テッカグヤ) (0797)		Steel / Flying	No evolution		Known as UB-04 Blaster,[42] it is an Ultra Beast that appeared from an Ultra Wormhole.

Despite their Steel typing, they are plant-like in composition. Celesteela is based on The Tale of The Bamboo Cutter and the stories' Princess Kaguya.
Kartana Kamitsurugi (カミツルギ) (0798)		Grass / Steel	No evolution		Known as UB-04 Blade,[42] it is an Ultra Beast that appeared from an Ultra Wormhole. Kartana are origami-like Pokémon with impossibly sharp edges all over their bodies that can cut anything. Its light, paper-like body allows it to evade most attacks by simply floating out of the way, but it also makes it highly vulnerable to fire and moisture. It does not seem to attack opponents on its own, but its body is as sharp as a sword, never getting dull. It was once observed to cut down a gigantic steel tower with a single stroke of its blade. Although it is alien to this world and a danger here, it is apparently a common organism in its home world, the Ultra Forest. As demonstrated in the anime, the edges are sharp enough to open up an Ultra Wormhole.
Guzzlord Akujikingu (アクジキング) (0799)		Dark / Dragon	No evolution		Known as UB-05 Glutton,[42] it is an Ultra Beast that appeared from an Ultra Wormhole. Guzzlord is said to feel like hard rubber, and in order to eat, its tongue moves in a wave-like motion that pulls food towards its mouth. Its constant hunger causes it to eat anything within reach of its two, pincer-like tongues. Despite its constant hunger and appetite, no droppings have ever been found. It is speculated to convert everything it consumes into energy with no waste leftover. According to reports about it, it has gobbled mountains and swallowed buildings whole.
