In the National Pokédex, which Pokémon is numbered 0001?

Bulbasaur is Pokémon number 0001 in the National Pokédex.

Bulbasaur is a dual Grass- and Poison-type Pokémon introduced in the first generation. Its design combines a small, four-legged creature with a plant bulb growing on its back. According to its fictional biology, the bulb stores nutrients and can use sunlight to help sustain Bulbasaur.

In the original Pokémon games, Bulbasaur is one of the three Pokémon offered to the player at the start of the journey. The other two choices are Charmander and Squirtle. Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur at level 16 and then Venusaur at level 32.

The National Pokédex numbering begins with Bulbasaur and ends with Mew at 0151 for the first generation. Pikachu is famous as the franchise mascot, but it is numbered 0025, not 0001. This distinction often causes confusion when fans remember popularity rather than Pokédex order.
