Ready those Poké Balls! Two new releases in the fan-favorite series Pokémon called Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are coming soon to Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo released the first Pokémon title for Game Boy in 1996. Since then, millions of fans have collected imaginary critters—called Pokémon—to battle, explore, and befriend. Each Pokémon is classified into a type based on the critter’s characteristics. The bar graph shows how many Pokémon belong to the most common types.
Quaxly Type: Water
Fuecoco Type: Fire
Sprigatito Type: Grass
