Which Pokémon is listed as National Pokédex number 1,000?

The story behind the answer

Gholdengo is listed as National Pokédex number 1,000.

Gholdengo debuted in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Generation IX games released for Nintendo Switch in 2022. It is a Ghost- and Steel-type Pokémon that evolves from Gimmighoul after the player collects 999 Gimmighoul Coins.

Its design is closely tied to the milestone: Gholdengo’s body is made from golden coins, and its appearance references its position as the 1,000th entry in the National Pokédex. It can also create a coin-based surfboard for riding.

Players sometimes confuse Gholdengo with Gimmighoul because they are part of the same evolutionary line. Gimmighoul is National Pokédex number 999, while Gholdengo follows it at number 1,000. The neighboring entries are Baxcalibur at 998 and Enamorus at 1001.
