List of generation IV Pokémon

The international logo for the Pokémon franchise

The fourth generation (generation IV) of the Pokémon franchise features 107 fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the 2006 Nintendo DS games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Some Pokémon in this generation were introduced in games and animated adaptations of the franchise before Diamond and Pearl, such as Bonsly, Mime Jr., and Munchlax, which were recurring characters in the Pokémon anime series in 2005 and 2006.

The following list details the 107 Pokémon of generation IV in order of their National Pokédex number. The first Pokémon, Turtwig, is number 387 and the last, Arceus, is number 493. Alternate forms that result in type changes are included for convenience. Mega Evolutions and regional forms are included on the pages for the generation in which they were introduced.

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. 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. Each Pokémon have one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and disadvantages when battling other Pokémon. 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.

Some video game journalists regarded Drifloon's design as insipid and strange, while others considered it one of the weirdest or disturbing Pokémon ever. There has also been some commentary on Drifloon's backstory and origins, with critics labelling it as "horrifying," "odd piece of lore," "creepy," "one messed up pocket monster," and even "the ultimate predator." Gizmodo described Drifloon as the Ghost-type Pokémon that murders unsuspecting humans to drain their life force. Gita Jackson of Kotaku stated that "in cultures all across the world, a common way for people to show their respects to children who have died is to release balloons, when it is said that children who tug on the hands of Drifloon, mistaking it for a balloon will mysteriously disappear." Steven Bogos of The Escapist listed Drifloon as his favorite Pokémon, stating that "Drifloon is a goddamn balloon. Some people would call it one of the worst Pokémon designs, but those people have obviously never kicked the crap out of the elite four with a balloon." Andrew Webster of The Verge claimed that Drifloon is the best Pokémon of all time, stating that "Drifloon is a classic example of how deceptive appearances can be."
Drifblim Fuwaraido (フワライド) (0426)		Ghost / Flying	Drifloon (#425)	—	Though it can carry heavier people and Pokémon, it can only drift along the wind, so its destination is effectively random. The gas inside its body is thought to be composed of souls.

Weavile Manyūra (マニューラ) (0461)		Dark / Ice	Sneasel (#215)	—	As an extremely sneaky Pokémon, its claws and increased intelligence help it attack prey in packs of four or five.

One Weavile will trip a Sandshrew while another one finishes it off by slashing its soft belly with its claws. A scratch delivered by Weavile's cold claws could cause frostbite. Like Sneasel, it can climb trees easily to steal Pokémon eggs.
Magnezone Jibakoiru (ジバコイル) (0462)		Electric / Steel	Magneton (#082)	—	Exposing it to a special magnetic field rearranged its cells, causing it to evolve. Its three units generate magnetism.

Leafeon Rīfia (リーフィア) (0470)		Grass	Eevee (#133)	—	It likes clean air because it uses photosynthesis like a plant. It is not one to fight, but if it has to, it can sharpen its tail enough to cut large trees. Galarian people favor the distinctive aroma that drifts from this Pokémon's leaves. There's a popular perfume made using that scent. Its cells were found to be just like plants too. The younger they are, the more they smell like fresh grass. With age, their fragrance takes on the odor of fallen leaves.
Glaceon Gureishia (グレイシア) (0471)		Ice	Eevee (#133)	—	It can freeze the moisture in the air into ice and fire it at enemies. It can drop its body temperature below -75 °F if it needs to. It can cause snow to form in the air, so it is quite popular in ski resorts.
Gliscor Guraion (グライオン) (0472)		Ground / Flying	Gligar (#207)	—	It observes prey while hanging upside down from branches, and when the chance comes, it swoops. Its flight is soundless, and when catching prey, its long tail picks them up and its elongated fangs do the rest. If it surprises prey, it can land a critical hit in an instant. After it drains them of their blood, it takes on a look of satisfaction. If it succeeds in catching even the slightest breeze, it can circle the globe without flapping its wings once.
Mamoswine Manmū (マンムー) (0473)		Ice / Ground	Piloswine (#221)	—	Its population thinned after the earth warmed up because its twin tusks are made of ice.
Porygon-Z Porigon Z (ポリゴンZ) (0474)		Normal	Porygon2 (#233)	—	It has not appeared in the anime due to the episode "Dennō Senshi Porygon", which caused Japanese children to have seizures in 1997. Additional software was installed in it, hoping to make it better. However it began acting strangely. The bizarre disc that was used might have had some bugs. It was modified to allow it to travel through alien dimensions, though it didn't work as planned. Not even academics really know if Porygon-Z can truly be considered an evolution.
Gallade Erureido (エルレイド) (0475)		Psychic / Fighting	Kirlia (#281)	Mega Evolution	This male-only Pokémon, along with Gardevoir, seem to be a current relative of Iron Valiant. True to its honorable warrior image, it is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship, and it can extend its elbows into blades and fight savagely, but it usually does this to protect something or someone. Because it can sense what its foe is thinking, its attacks burst out first, fast, and fierce. Sharply attuned to others' wishes for help, this Pokémon seeks out those in need and aids them in battle. The blades extending from its elbows are sharper than the finest swords. Its swordsmanship, albeit self-taught, is astonishingly impressive.
Probopass Dainōzu (ダイノーズ) (0476)		Rock / Steel	Nosepass (#299)	—	It controls its three "mini-noses" at its sides to attack or hunt for food, but it can lose them if its not careful.
