About PrimeDex
The free, open Pokédex for everyone. Built by trainers, for trainers.
Our Mission
PrimeDex exists to make Pokémon data fast, beautiful, and free for everyone. We believe trainers of all levels — from casual fans to competitive players — deserve a Pokédex that loads instantly, works in their language, and respects their privacy.
We are built and maintained by a small team of Pokémon fans. We do not show ads, sell user data, or track visitors. The site is free forever and supported by community contributions.
Data Sources & Attribution
All Pokémon data (stats, types, abilities, moves, evolutions, sprites, official artwork) is sourced from the open PokeAPI project (pokeapi.co), a free, community-driven database.
Trading card data (cards, sets, rarities, prices) is sourced from TCGdex (tcgdex.net), an open Pokémon TCG database.
Pokémon, Pokémon character names, and related properties are trademarks of Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures Inc. PrimeDex is a non-commercial fan project and is not affiliated with The Pokémon Company.
What You Can Do
Browse the complete Pokédex of all 1025 Pokémon. Compare stats side-by-side with stat radar charts. Build a 6-Pokémon team with type coverage analysis and weakness detection. Master the type chart with our interactive effectiveness matrix. Track your living dex across all generations. Catalog your physical TCG collection with progress per set. Challenge yourself with our 6-mode Pokémon quiz. All in 9 languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
Open Source & Free Forever
PrimeDex is licensed under the MIT License. The full source code is available on GitHub — you can read it, audit it, fork it, and even self-host it. We accept community contributions (new features, translations, bug fixes) and we publish a public roadmap.
Why MIT? Because the Pokémon community has given us so much — fan art, competitive analysis, ROM hacks, lore research — and the best way to give back is to keep our work open.
