List of generation VIII Pokémon

The eighth generation (Generation VIII) of the Pokémon franchise features 96 titular species of creatures introduced to the core video game series, including 89 in the 2019 Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Sword and Shield as of version 1.3.0 and 7 further species introduced in the 2022 Nintendo Switch game Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The temporary Dynamax and Gigantamax transformations were also introduced. The Pokémon Sword and Shield starter Pokémon were the first Pokémon of the generation to be revealed on February 27, 2019.

A notable change in the eighth generation compared to previous ones is that new Pokémon and forms were introduced via game patches rather than new games.

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.^[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]

The development of Pokémon Sword and Shield began in 2016, immediately following the development period of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The conceptual phase lasted approximately a year, and the debugging process continued into 2019.^[4] With the Galar region based in Great Britain, some of the native Pokémon draw inspiration from British fauna, folklore, and mythology. The legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta resemble real-world wolves, drawing inspiration from wolves that frequently appear in British mythology.^[5] Shigeru Ohmori, the director for Sword and Shield, stated that the design team keeps a Pokémon's habitat in mind when coming up with its design so as to make the Pokémon believable.^[4]

Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduces the Hisui Region, based on the real-world Japanese island of Hokkaido. The Hisui Region is a reimagining of the Generation IV games' Sinnoh Region set in the past prior to the events of those games.

Like the previous generation, redesigned versions of previously released Pokémon ("Galarian Forms" and "Hisuian Forms") were included alongside brand-new creatures.

For the first time, many new Pokémon and regional forms were added to the generation through game patches rather than through the release of a new game. Acquiring these Pokémon requires purchasing an add-on downloadable content pass separate from the base game or utilizing the in-game trade feature. Further patches added other new species, including legendary and mythical Pokémon Kubfu, Urshifu, and Zarude in June 2020 and Regieleki, Regidrago, Glastrier, Spectrier, and Calyrex in October 2020.^[6]

Obstagoon's design seems to be based on glam rock artists; notable traits such as its long tongue and star pattern over its right eye bear a strong resemblance to Gene Simmons from the American rock band Kiss. Simmons acknowledged the resemblance and called it "flattering".^[23] Its design also seems to take inspiration from gnolls, of which are anthropomorphic hyena monsters common to Dungeons & Dragons.
Perrserker Nyaikingu (ニャイキング) (0863)	Steel	Galarian Meowth (#052)	—	The evolution of Galarian Meowth, Perrserker lives for the thrill of fights.

The pattern, which resembles a face, tends to be more expressive than Mr. Rime's actual face.

Runerigus Desubān (デスバーン) (0867)	Ground / Ghost	Galarian Yamask (#562)	—	The evolution of Galarian Yamask, inspired by the Ingvar runestones. As soon as murals started moving, the existence of this Pokémon was then known. Those who touch its runestones will witness the horrific memories of the imagery inscribed on them.

Milcery Mahomiru (マホミル) (0868)	Fairy	—	Alcremie (#869)	This Pokémon resembles a blob of milk or cream and has a unique way of evolving; depending on several factors, the Milcery will evolve into a different 'flavored' Alcremie.

Each form can be adorned with one of seven different varieties of Sweets.
Alcremie Mahoippu (マホイップ) (0869)	Fairy	Milcery (#868)	Gigantamax	Alcremie are based on whipped cream. They can produce whipped cream that becomes richer the happier they are.

The Sweets that can be embedded into it include the Strawberry, Flower, Star, Clover, Berry, Ribbon, and Heart Sweets.^[24] Certain Alcremie are capable of Gigantamax and in combination with a giant cake formed in the process grow to more than 29 m (95 ft) in height. The cake is extremely resistant to attacks. They use "high-calorie cream missiles" to attack opponents.^[25] Critics and fans^[who?] praised Alcremie's design as cute. Writers of Eater and Time also brought attention to sexual innuendos surrounding the Pokémon's descriptions.^[24]^[18] David Lozada of Game Revolution called Alcremie one of the weirdest Pokémon to date.^[21]

This soft, heat-retaining fur helps the Pokémon thrive even in the frigid Hisui region, and tend to be in pairs. The sharp horn on its head is made of rock, but it breaks easily, so Hisuian Growlithe uses it only when it will have the greatest effect.
Arcanine Uindi (ウインディ) (0059)	Fire / Rock	Growlithe (#058)	—	An Arcanine was once the Noble Pokémon of Cobalt Coastlands before passing away. Its role is later filled by its newly evolved offspring.
Voltorb Biriridama (ビリリダマ) (0100)	Electric / Grass	—	Electrode (#101)	Hisuian Voltorb looks very similar to the Poké Balls of the Hisui region. This Pokémon is always in high spirits and has a friendly personality. However, it discharges its stored electricity when it gets excited, so it frequently shocks nearby humans and Pokémon.

It appears to stare at space at times, but it is said to look for forsaken spirits to eat. Such form is said to be influenced by Mount Coronet itself.
Qwilfish Harīsen (ハリーセン) (0211)	Dark / Poison	—	Overqwil (#904)	Hisuian Qwilfish, unlike its normal form, have a "modified diet" that includes poison.

Zoroark Zoroāku (ゾロアーク) (0571)	Normal / Ghost	Zorua (#570)	—
Braviary Wōguru (ウォーグル) (0628)	Psychic / Flying	Rufflet (#627)	—	When Rufflet in the Hisui region evolve, they become Hisuian Braviary. In the winter, this Pokémon flies in from somewhere farther north. It is larger than the previously discovered form of Braviary and tends to live alone rather than in flocks. One special Braviary appears as a ridable Pokémon in Legends Arceus, allowing the player to soar from various heights.
Sliggoo Numeiru (ヌメイル) (0705)	Steel / Dragon	Goomy (#704)	Goodra (#706)	Goomy in the Hisui region evolve differently to protect it from the harsh environments. Sliggoo and Goodra in the region tend to have a shell made out of steel to protect it from threats.

Their feathers are smaller, but it makes up for it by trapping air pockets to keep it warm.
