From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

This is a list of Pokémon by their color (Japanese: 色(いろ) color) according to the Pokédex. In Generation III, it is also referred to as body color (Japanese: 体(からだ)の色(いろ) body color); in Pokémon HOME, it is also described as a Pokémon's main color in English. While the actual colors of individual Pokémon can vary, the color associated with a species is usually the color most apparent or covering the Pokémon's body. Some species are categorized on the basis of the color of their heads or faces, such as Druddigon, which is categorized as red despite being mostly blue. Prior to Generation VII, Pokémon species with multiple forms, such as Wormadam and Shellos, were categorized into their most common form's color.

Color is available as a search method in the Pokédex in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Generation V and VI games, Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, Bank, and HOME, and in the Strategy Memo in Pokémon Colosseum. It can also be seen in the Pokémon Storage System in the Generation IV and V games and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It is no longer visible in-game starting in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, although it remains in the Pokémon species data structure. A Pokémon's color only has an aesthetic effect, with the exception of the Festive Feud Wi-Fi tournament, where only red, white, or green Pokémon could compete.

List of colors

The games divide Pokémon into the following ten categories based on their color. For each color, its index number, name, and the specific shades used to represent it in various games are displayed in the table below:

These categories do not correspond directly to any particular color model or color wheel, and instead reflect basic color terms in Japanese. Note that no orange category exists; Pokémon that may be considered to be primarily orange are instead listed as red, yellow, or 'brown' (also known as dark orange in some contexts). Note that no cyan category exists; Pokémon that may be considered to be primarily cyan are instead listed as green or blue.

Several Pokémon are placed in categories that hold little resemblance to their perceived color, or which would be more logically placed in a different category. One example is Bronzor and Golett, which are categorized as green even though they may be considered to be more blue than green; this particular case may be attributable to the ambiguity between "green" and "blue" in Japanese.

Changes

In Generation VII, the color of several species of Pokémon with multiple forms were changed.

In Pokémon HOME, Burmy, Deerling, and Vivillon's forms were given distinct entries and thus distinct colors; prior to this, all of their forms shared the same entry and thus the same color as the first form.

Prior to December 2023, several Pokémon were listed with different colors in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME compared to the Nintendo Switch version; the mobile version was subsequently changed to match the Nintendo Switch version.
