The fourth generation (generation IV) of the Pokémon franchise features 107 fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the 2006 Nintendo DS games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Some Pokémon in this generation were introduced in games and animated adaptations of the franchise before Diamond and Pearl, such as Bonsly, Mime Jr., and Munchlax, which were recurring characters in the Pokémon anime series in 2005 and 2006.
The following list details the 107 Pokémon of generation IV in order of their National Pokédex number. The first Pokémon, Turtwig, is number 387 and the last, Arceus, is number 493. Alternate forms that result in type changes are included for convenience. Mega Evolutions and regional forms are included on the pages for the generation in which they were introduced.
Design and development
[edit]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.[1] 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.[2] Each Pokémon have one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and disadvantages when battling other Pokémon.[3] 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.[2]

Some people would call it one of the worst Pokémon designs, but those people have obviously never kicked the crap out of the elite four with a balloon."[37] Andrew Webster of The Verge claimed that Drifloon is the best Pokémon of all time, stating that "Drifloon is a classic example of how deceptive appearances can be."[38] | |

Bug / Flying | Yanma (#193) | — | Its long tail helps it balance itself when carrying something as big as an adult human. It is extremely violent, and will waste no time going straight for its prey's most vital openings. Training this Pokémon will require a lot of bravery. | |
| Leafeon Rīfia (リーフィア)[52] (0470) |
Grass | Eevee (#133) | — | It likes clean air because it uses photosynthesis like a plant. It is not one to fight, but if it has to, it can sharpen its tail enough to cut large trees. Galarian people favor the distinctive aroma that drifts from this Pokémon's leaves. There's a popular perfume made using that scent. Its cells were found to be just like plants too. The younger they are, the more they smell like fresh grass. With age, their fragrance takes on the odor of fallen leaves. | |
| Glaceon Gureishia (グレイシア)[9] (0471) |
Ice | Eevee (#133) | — | It can freeze the moisture in the air into ice and fire it at enemies. It can drop its body temperature below -75 °F if it needs to. It can cause snow to form in the air, so it is quite popular in ski resorts. | |
| Gliscor Guraion (グライオン)[9] (0472) |
Ground / Flying | Gligar (#207) | — | It observes prey while hanging upside down from branches, and when the chance comes, it swoops. Its flight is soundless, and when catching prey, its long tail picks them up and its elongated fangs do the rest. If it surprises prey, it can land a critical hit in an instant. After it drains them of their blood, it takes on a look of satisfaction. If it succeeds in catching even the slightest breeze, it can circle the globe without flapping its wings once. | |
| Mamoswine Manmū (マンムー)[9] (0473) |
Ice / Ground | Piloswine (#221) | — | Its population thinned after the earth warmed up because its twin tusks are made of ice. | |
| Porygon-Z Porigon Z (ポリゴンZ)[14] (0474) |
Normal | Porygon2 (#233) | — | It has not appeared in the anime due to the episode "Dennō Senshi Porygon", which caused Japanese children to have seizures in 1997. Additional software was installed in it, hoping to make it better. However it began acting strangely. The bizarre disc that was used might have had some bugs. It was modified to allow it to travel through alien dimensions, though it didn't work as planned. Not even academics really know if Porygon-Z can truly be considered an evolution. | |
| Gallade Erureido (エルレイド)[10] (0475) |
Psychic / Fighting | Kirlia (#281) | Mega Evolution | This male-only Pokémon, along with Gardevoir, seem to be a current relative of Iron Valiant. True to its honorable warrior image, it is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship, and it can extend its elbows into blades and fight savagely, but it usually does this to protect something or someone. Because it can sense what its foe is thinking, its attacks burst out first, fast, and fierce. Sharply attuned to others' wishes for help, this Pokémon seeks out those in need and aids them in battle. The blades extending from its elbows are sharper than the finest swords. Its swordsmanship, albeit self-taught, is astonishingly impressive. | |
| Probopass Dainōzu (ダイノーズ)[12] (0476) |
Rock / Steel | Nosepass (#299) | — | It controls its three "mini-noses" at its sides to attack or hunt for food, but it can lose them if it's not careful. | |
| Dusknoir Yonowāru (ヨノワール)[8] (0477) |
Ghost | Dusclops (#356) | — | The antenna on its head acts as a radar. Some say that it is a radar to tell Dusknoir to take spirits to the underworld. | |
| Froslass Yukimenoko (ユキメノコ)[12] (0478) |
Ice / Ghost | Snorunt (#361) | Mega Evolution | It is a female-only Pokémon whose design is inspired by the Japanese yōkai Yuki-onna, a vengeful spirit that takes the form of a woman and traps its victims with its icy breath or within blizzards.[53] If you are inside your house (and trapped in a blizzard), you should always be careful. When you hear a knocking at your door, always check before you answer because it might be a wild Froslass, which can freeze you to death instantly. | |
| Rotom Rotomu (ロトム)[8] (0479) |
Electric / Ghost | No evolution | It has a body made of plasma, and its known as a troublesome Pokémon, wreaking havoc upon others. Its electrical body can infiltrate machines and control them in battle or mischief. Research continues on it, as it could be the power source of a unique motor. A boy's invention led to multiple different machines that take advantage of its strange capabilities. Rotom is capable of changing between six different forms by possessing various household appliances. It can also possess a special Pokédex used in Alola to assist trainers and a phone in Galar. It can transform into: | ||
| Electric / Fire[nb 7] | "Heat Rotom" by possessing an oven. Heat Rotom inhabits a toaster oven made just for it. It has a flair for manipulating flames, as it will happily burn your favorite outfit. It makes mischief by turning up the heat, and it will sear the surrounding area, then smile in delight. If the oven isn't working right, it will then become sick. | ||||
| Electric / Water[nb 7] | "Wash Rotom" by possessing a washing machine. Wash Rotom inhabits a washing machine made just for it. It likes coming up with water-based pranks, so be careful if you don't want your room flooded. It blasts out water to flood places and fight enemies. It smirks in satisfaction at what it has done. The model of washing machine Rotoms can possess are now discontinued, so they're traded at high prices. | ||||
| Electric / Ice[nb 7] | "Frost Rotom" by possessing a refrigerator. Frost Rotom inhabits a refrigerator made just for it. It battles by spewing cold air, and it pulls pranks just the same way. If left alone, you many find that the bath you just filled has been turned to ice. Then it leaps gleefully in delight after freezing the surrounding area. The special motor within the refrigerator is the key to bringing about Rotom's change in form. | ||||
| Electric / Flying[nb 7] | "Fan Rotom" by possessing a fan. Fan Rotom inhabits a fan made just for it. It applies the power of wind to pull even better pranks. It will happily blow away any kind of important documents you might have. It whips up powerful winds that really blow people away. It then smirks after a prank well pulled. Out of all the machines it can use, the first one was an electric fan. | ||||
| Electric / Grass[nb 7] | and "Mow Rotom" by possessing a lawnmower. Mow Rotom inhabits a lawnmower made just for it. As it mows down grass and any flowers you were growing, it scatters the clippings everywhere, then proudly swaggers around, cheering about its accomplishments. It is one of the appliances that led to the development of the Rotom Dex found only in Alola. | ||||
| Uxie Yukushī (ユクシー)[9] (0480) |
Psychic | No evolution | Known as the "Being of Knowledge", it is said that this Legendary Pokémon can wipe away memories of those who see its eyes. It is thought that when Uxie flew, it gave humans the intelligence to improve their quality of life and to solve problems. It is feared yet respected for wiping the memories of evil people. | ||
| Mesprit Emuritto (エムリット)[54] (0481) |
Psychic | No evolution | Known as the "Being of Emotion", this Legendary Pokémon taught humans emotions such as sorrow, pain, and joy. Although it slumbers at the bottom of a lake, its spirit is said to fly on top of it. It is feared as those who disrespected it would have their emotions thrown into disarray. | ||
| Azelf Agunomu (アグノム)[10] (0482) |
Psychic | No evolution | Known as the "Being of Willpower", this Legendary Pokémon sleeps at the bottom of a lake to keep the world in balance. It is thought that Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit all came from the same egg. When Azelf flew, people gained the willpower and determination to do things. It was dreaded in Hisui, as tales of it show that it manipulated the will of others, turning them into a puppet of its own. | ||
| Dialga Diaruga (ディアルガ)[55] (0483) |
Steel / Dragon | No evolution | Part of the Pokémon of Myth created by Arceus, this Legendary Pokémon has complete control over time and it can use it to travel to the past, present, future, as well as to start and stop time at will. It appears as a deity in myths and legends. It is thought that when Dialga was born, time began, and with every heart beat, time grows more stable. In the past, it was worshipped as a deity by the Diamond Clan as "almighty Sinnoh", which was mistaken for its creator Arceus. From Pokémon Legends: Arceus onwards, it can assume an Origin Forme resembling Arceus with the Adamant Crystal. Its signature move is Roar of Time. | ||
| Palkia Parukia (パルキア)[56] (0484) |
Water / Dragon | No evolution | Part of the Pokémon of Myth created by Arceus, this Legendary Pokémon has complete control over space and dimensions. It can use its power to distort space and create and destroy dimensions at will. It appears as a myth and a deity in Sinnoh legends. It is thought that when Palkia was born, space and dimensions were created, and with every breath it takes, space grows more stable. It is theorized that it lives in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to our own. In the past, it was worshipped as a deity by the Pearl Clan as "almighty Sinnoh", which was mistaken for its creator Arceus. From Pokémon Legends: Arceus onwards, it can assume an Origin Forme resembling Arceus with the Lustrous Globe. Its signature move is Spacial Rend. | ||
| Heatran Hīdoran (ヒードラン)[9] (0485) |
Fire / Steel | No evolution | It lives in volcanic caves as it climbs walls with its cross shaped feet. Its body is made of rugged steel, but due to its own body heat, it is partially melted in some spots. Boiling blood like magma circulates in its body. Stories of it tell that it was born from magma on Mount Coronet. Until generation 8, with the introduction of Kubfu and Urshifu, Heatran was the only Legendary Pokémon that could either be male or female. | ||
| Regigigas Rejigigasu (レジギガス)[8] (0486) |
Normal | No evolution | There is an enduring legend about how this Legendary Pokémon towed the continents together with just rope. It created smaller versions of itself out of clay (Regirock), a special ice mountain (Regice), magma (Registeel), electrons (Regieleki), and dragon energy (Regidrago). | ||
| Giratina Giratina (ギラティナ)[57] (0487) |
Ghost / Dragon | No evolution | The final member of the Pokémon of Myth created by Arceus, this Legendary Pokémon has complete control of antimatter and can use it to make all common knowledge distorted and strange. Giratina appeared in myths and legends, but records of it were stricken out of fear from the ancient Sinnoh people. Because of its violent nature, Arceus banished it to the Distortion World, an alternate dimension where the laws of physics are frequently disobeyed, and it gazes from there. As a result of this banishment, Giratina developed a strong grudge against its creator, and was willing to oppose it alongside the human merchant Volo. It sometimes appears in cemeteries. There is one Hisuian verse that tells of a powerful light creating a deep shadow. That deep shadow could be Giratina. It has an Origin Forme which was introduced in Pokémon Platinum, though it assumes a serpentine appearance in contrast to Dialga and Palkia's Origin Formes which resemble Arceus. In order to change between the Altered and Origin forms, the player must give it the Griseous Orb or the Griseous Core from Pokémon Legends: Arceus onwards. Its signature move is Shadow Force. | ||
| Cresselia Kureseria (クレセリア)[58][12] (0488) |
Psychic | No evolution | Part of the Lunar Duo, one who holds Cresselia's feather can make a Darkrai's horrible nightmare vanish and have joyful dreams. Cresselia represents the crescent moon. | ||
| Phione Fione (フィオネ)[59] (0489) |
Water | No evolution | It can only be obtained by breeding Manaphy, however Phione are incapable of evolving into Manaphy. It is a member of the Sea Guardian Duo along with Manaphy. These Mythical Pokémon live in packs in warm seas. It inflates the sac on its head to drift and look for food. It always returns to where it was born, no matter how far way it may have drifted. Its azure body blends in with the surrounding water, theoretically being a defense mechanism. It is based on Clione Limacina, and its English name is a portmanteau of the last syllable of Manaphy and the word Clione. | ||
| Manaphy Manafi (マナフィ)[60] (0490) |
Water | No evolution | Manaphy is other member of the Sea Guardian Duo along with Phione. Manaphy was the last Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex before the Platinum expansion. This Mythical Pokémon lives on the cold sea floor. It always returns to where it was born, no matter how far way it has drifted. Water makes up 80% of its small body, so it is easily affected by its environment. It is born with a wondrous power to let it befriend any creature. It greatly resembles Phione, though the relation is unclear. It is based on Clione Limacina. | ||
| Darkrai Dākurai (ダークライ)[14] (0491) |
Dark | No evolution | Darkrai was officially revealed in February 2007. It is the other member of the Lunar Duo together with Cresselia. Though it means no harm, it can lull people to nightmarish sleep to protect its territory on moonless nights. | ||
| Shaymin Sheimi (シェイミ)[6] (0492) |
Grass | No evolution | "Land Forme"
Shaymin has a second Forme activated by using a Gracidea flower in the daytime. Shaymin's Sky Forme will revert to its Land Forme during the night, while frozen solid, or if deposited in the PC. Its Land Forme is based on a hedgehog. This Mythical Pokémon lives in flower patches and avoids detection by curling up to blend in. It can dissolve toxins in the air, instantly transforming devastated lands into beautiful paradises. If hugged and loved enough, beautiful flowers will appear all over its body. When winter ends and spring begins, people in Hisui celebrate and Shaymin comes to cover the land with lush flowers. | ||
| Grass / Flying | "Sky Forme"
As opposed to its original Land Forme, Shaymin becomes the Grass/Flying-type Sky Forme. Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008, when it was listed as a star of Giratina and the Sky Warrior. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed and based on a deer and an angel. When this Mythical Pokémon smells the scent of the particularly rare Gradicea flower, its tiny body transforms into this form. Some people also smelled the flower, but their bodies remain unchanged. | ||||
| Arceus Aruseusu (アルセウス)[16] (0493) |
Normal | No evolution | Arceus is a white llama-like Pokémon with a golden arch on its back. It serves as the creator deity for the Pokémon universe. The Pokémon's name in both English and Japanese may be derived from the Ancient Greek word "arkhé" (αρχή), meaning "origin" or "beginning". It may also be derived from "alpha", "deus", a Latin word meaning "god", or "archeus", a part of the astral plane in alchemy.[61] When exposed to a plate of a specific type, Arceus changes its type and color to match that plate.[62] With the Legend Plate, however, Arceus' type changes dynamically to whichever is most effective against the opponent.[63][64] Arceus debuted in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life, where it serves as one of the film's main characters.[65] In the Pokémon universe, Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is told in mythology that it emerged from an egg before the universe even existed, and that it "shaped all there is in this world".[66][67] It is also said to have created the universe with its "1,000 arms", as well as the Pokémon of Myth Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.[68][69] It appears in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where it takes a central role.[70] In the past, it was worshipped as "almighty Sinnoh"; the Diamond and Pearl Clans also worship it, but they mistook Dialga and Palkia respectively for Arceus. Arceus also stars in Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles, a miniseries that takes some inspiration from Legends: Arceus.[71] Arceus and Smeargle are the only two Pokémon that can learn its signature move Judgement.[72] | ||

List of generation IV Pokémon
View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
The list of Generation IV Pokémon comprises the 107 species newly introduced in the fourth generation of core Pokémon video games, spanning National Pokédex numbers 387 through 493.[1] These Pokémon debuted in the Sinnoh region across the Nintendo DS titles Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl (released in 2006 in Japan and 2007 internationally), with further expansions in Pokémon Platinum (2008).[1] Notable among them are the Grass-type starter Turtwig and its evolutions, the Fire-type starter Chimchar leading to Infernape, and the Water-type starter Piplup evolving into Empoleon, alongside legendary figures such as the time-manipulating Dialga (Steel/Dragon), the space-controlling Palkia (Water/Dragon), and the creation deity Arceus (Normal).[1] This generation marked significant gameplay advancements, including the physical/special move split, online trading and battling via the Global Trade System and Wi-Fi, and the introduction of 29 Pokémon that are evolutions or pre-evolutions of prior generations' forms.[2]
The roster reflects diverse typings and mechanics unique to Sinnoh, with 31 pure single-type species and emphases on dual typings like Fighting/Steel (e.g., Lucario) and Ghost/Dark (e.g., Spiritomb).[3] It includes legendaries such as the knowledge guardian Uxie, the emotion embodiment Mesprit, and the willpower bestower Azelf—collectively the Lake Guardians—as well as the distortion world inhabitant Giratina (Ghost/Dragon).[1] Many of these Pokémon gained prominence through competitive play and media, with standouts like the pseudo-legendary Garchomp (Dragon/Ground) prized for its speed and power, and the mischievous Rotom capable of possessing appliances for type changes.[4] The list also highlights regional evolutions absent from earlier generations, such as the Fire-type Magmortar from Magmar, underscoring Generation IV's focus on expanding the Pokémon universe while integrating with the broader franchise's lore of harmony between humans and these creatures.[3]
Background and Context
Generation IV Games
The Generation IV Pokémon games, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, marked the franchise's debut on the Nintendo DS handheld console. The initial pair, Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl, were released in Japan on September 28, 2006, followed by North America on April 22, 2007, Australia on June 21, 2007, and Europe on July 27, 2007.[5][6] These titles introduced 107 new Pokémon species and were set in the Sinnoh region, expanding the series' world with new lore centered on time, space, and creation myths. An enhanced version, Pokémon Platinum, launched in Japan on September 13, 2008, North America on March 22, 2009, Australia on May 14, 2009, and Europe on May 22, 2009.[7] Later, Pokémon HeartGold and Pokémon SoulSilver, remakes of the Generation II games, arrived in Japan on September 12, 2009, North America on March 14, 2010, Australia on March 25, 2010, and Europe on March 26, 2010.[8] All titles leveraged the Nintendo DS's dual-screen design, with the bottom touchscreen facilitating menu navigation, Pokémon viewing, and interactive battles, while the top screen displayed core gameplay elements.[9] A major gameplay innovation in Diamond, Pearl, and subsequent Generation IV titles was the physical/special damage split for moves, which shifted categorization from move types to individual properties, allowing greater strategic depth by aligning attacks with a Pokémon's Attack or Special Attack stats.[10] This change addressed longstanding limitations in prior generations, enabling diverse type combinations for offensive strategies. The games also pioneered online features through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, enabling global player matchmaking for battles and trades directly from the DS.[11] Complementing this, the Global Trade System (GTS) allowed asynchronous Pokémon exchanges worldwide, where players could deposit a Pokémon and request a specific one in return, fostering community interaction via the in-game Global Terminal.[12] Version-specific elements added replayability, with Diamond featuring the Legendary Pokémon Dialga as its mascot—embodying time control—and Pearl highlighting Palkia, the embodiment of space.[6] Platinum integrated both Dialga and Palkia, while introducing Giratina, the Renegade Pokémon tied to antimatter, as a central figure in an expanded Distortion World storyline.[13] HeartGold and SoulSilver, set in the Johto region, retained these mechanics but incorporated Generation IV enhancements like the physical/special split and online connectivity into their remastered content.[8]Sinnoh Region and Pokédex
The Sinnoh region, the setting for the core Generation IV Pokémon games, encompasses a diverse array of terrains including sharp mountain peaks, dense woodlands, sandy beaches, swampy wetlands, and snow-covered areas reaching waist height in certain locales. This geography facilitates exploration through interconnected routes, underground caves, and expansive bodies of water, all woven into the narrative fabric of legendary Pokémon encounters and regional lore. Central to the region's layout is Mt. Coronet, a massive mountain that bisects the mainland into eastern and western sections, symbolizing a pivotal divide in both physical and mythological terms.[14] The Sinnoh region's design draws inspiration from Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, incorporating elements like volcanic landscapes and northern climates to evoke a sense of isolation and natural grandeur. Three prominent lakes—Lake Acuity in the north, Lake Verity in the southwest, and Lake Valor in the southeast—form a symbolic triangle around the periphery, each harboring deep mythological significance as sites where legendary Pokémon are said to slumber. These lakes tie directly into Sinnoh's creation myths, where the entities residing within represent fundamental aspects of existence: knowledge at Lake Acuity (Uxie), emotion at Lake Verity (Mesprit), and willpower at Lake Valor (Azelf). The lake guardians, as they are known, embody the region's emphasis on ancient lore involving the origins of the Pokémon world and the balance maintained by Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus.[15] The Sinnoh Pokédex organizes 151 Pokémon based on their encounter locations across the region in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, selected from prior generations and many of the 107 new species introduced in Generation IV, with the complete National Pokédex expanding to 493 entries. This regional Pokédex prioritizes native Sinnoh species while excluding some evolutions available only through trading or post-game unlocks. In Pokémon Platinum, the Pokédex expands to 210 entries, incorporating additional Pokémon like Rotom and Giratina, and introduces the Distortion World—a parallel dimension accessed via a portal at the Spring Path, featuring gravity-defying platforms and warped environments that challenge traditional navigation.[16][17] While Generation IV does not feature regional variant forms that alter a Pokémon's type or appearance based on location—a mechanic introduced later—the games include version-exclusive Pokémon to encourage trading between Diamond and Pearl players. For instance, Cranidos and its evolution Rampardos are obtainable only in Diamond via the Skull Fossil revived at the Oreburgh Mining Museum, whereas Shieldon and Bastiodon are exclusive to Pearl through the Armor Fossil. These exclusives, along with others like Stunky in Pearl and Glameow in Diamond, highlight the interconnected gameplay design without altering core species traits.[18]Design and Development
Conceptualization and Influences
The development of the Generation IV Pokémon species was overseen by Game Freak, with Junichi Masuda directing the project and Ken Sugimori responsible for the core artwork and creature designs. This team sought to build on the expanded biodiversity of Generation III by integrating a mythological framework tied to the Sinnoh region's lore, emphasizing interconnected narratives among legendary Pokémon to deepen the world's backstory.[19] Central to the generation's conceptualization was a theme of creation and origins, inspired by Shinto mythological elements, where Arceus emerges as a primordial, god-like entity responsible for shaping the universe. To enhance type balance and evolutionary lines, 107 new species were introduced, including fossil revivals like Shieldon, which draws from ancient ceratopsian dinosaurs to represent prehistoric resilience.[20][3][21] Influences spanned Japanese folklore, natural phenomena, and global legends, with designs like Lucario evoking lupine guardians and Egyptian Anubis motifs for a sense of mystical protection, while Turtwig's shell incorporates an ecosystem of flora and fauna inspired by world turtle myths. Regigigas, meanwhile, reflects golem legends from various cultures, portraying a colossal shaper of continents.[22][23][24] Early prototypes highlighted experimental fusions, such as Spiritomb's concept as a bound entity comprising 108 malevolent spirits, rooted in Buddhist traditions of earthly defilements and New Year's bell-ringing rituals to exorcise temptations.[25]Art, Animation, and Refinements
The Generation IV Pokémon games on the Nintendo DS employed 2D sprites for both overworld navigation and battle scenes, representing a significant advancement in visual fidelity over prior generations. Battle sprites were fully animated for the first time in the core series, incorporating fluid movements to depict attacks, cries, and idle poses that added dynamism to encounters. Overworld sprites benefited from enhanced walking cycles, providing smoother and more varied locomotion to reflect each Pokémon's personality and design. Ken Sugimori, the lead artist since the franchise's inception, contributed official illustrations that highlighted expressive facial details and dynamic, action-oriented poses, evolving his signature watercolor-inspired style to suit the Sinnoh region's mythical themes while preserving accessibility for a broad audience.[26] Animation innovations in Generation IV extended beyond battles to include the following Pokémon feature, debuting in a limited capacity in Pokémon Platinum's Amity Square—where select species could accompany the player—and fully realized in HeartGold and SoulSilver, allowing any Pokémon to trail the trainer across the overworld for increased immersion. Shiny forms received refined color palettes to distinguish them more clearly, as seen in Garchomp's variant, which shifts to a darker gray body while retaining vivid red fin accents for visual impact without altering core silhouettes. These changes aimed to enhance rarity appeal while maintaining consistency with Sugimori's artwork.[27][28] Development refinements involved iterative adjustments from beta designs. A major refinement was the introduction of the physical/special move split, which categorized moves as physical or special based on their type rather than the Pokémon's stats, ensuring greater strategic viability amid new Pokémon introductions.[29] The DS's dual-screen architecture facilitated touch-based Pokédex interactions, enabling stylus navigation for detailed entries on the lower screen, which streamlined data access during gameplay. Complementing these, the 2008 spin-off My Pokémon Ranch pioneered 3D models for Generation IV species, permitting players to deposit up to 1,000 Pokémon from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum via connectivity and observe their low-poly animations in a ranch environment alongside Miis.[30]List of Pokémon
