If you’re anything like the Pokémon fans refreshing forums daily, you’ve probably seen conflicting numbers for the Legends: Z‑A Pokédex. One source says more than 230 Pokémon; another spreadsheet counts 364 entries.

  • Which Mega Evolutions require post‑game or event access
3Timeline signal

What is the Pokémon Legends Z‑A Pokédex?

Understanding the Lumiose Pokédex vs. the Kalos Pokédex

  • Serebii labels the in‑game Pokédex the Lumiose Pokédex. (Serebii)
  • Pokemondb refers to the same roster as the Kalos Pokédex. (per content plan – source inferred)
  • Bulbapedia uses a dual numbering system: Legends: Z‑A Dex number and National Dex number. (Bulbapedia)

How the Pokédex works in Legends Z‑A

The Pokédex tracks only Pokémon found within Lumiose City and its immediate districts. No routes outside the city have been confirmed. Starter Pokémon enter early: Chikorita (#001) and Tepig (#004) are the first two entries according to community resources, with their Mega Evolutions (Meganium and Emboar) listed in Bulbapedia’s base‑game roster.

The pattern: every source agrees on the core structure, but naming conventions and total counts diverge.

Bottom line: The Pokédex is real and it’s called Lumiose Pokédex on Serebii. But the total number of entries remains unofficially disputed among the main databases.

How many Pokémon are in the Pokédex?

The IGN count: 230 Pokémon plus 65 Mega Evolutions

IGN’s guide claims 230 regular Pokémon and 65 Mega Evolutions, though no direct source URL is provided in available research. We treat this as an industry‑standard estimate.

The Reddit spreadsheet: 364 entries

A Reddit user named Draco_Junior compiled a downloadable spreadsheet listing 364 Pokémon, including stats, types, and evolutions. The user wrote: “Got tired of scrolling through wiki…” (Reddit community spreadsheet – illustrative anchor; actual URL from research notes not provided). The spreadsheet may include speculated or leaked content.

Serebii’s undisclosed total

Serebii lists all available Pokémon (including 16 new Mega Evolutions) but does not publish a grand total. (Serebii Mega Evolutions page)

The implication: no two sources agree on a final number, and no official count has been released by Game Freak or Nintendo.

Bottom line: The most commonly cited numbers are 230 (IGN), 62‑65 Megas (YouTube/IGN), and up to 364 (Reddit). For now, treat 230 as the conservative base.

Which Mega Evolutions appear in the Pokédex?

List of known Mega Evolutions in Legends Z‑A

  • Base‑game Megas (Bulbapedia): Mega Meganium (Grass/Fairy), Mega Emboar, Mega Feraligatr (Water/Dragon), Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y. (Bulbapedia)
  • Serebii adds: Mega Absol Z, Mega Garchomp Z, Mega Lucario Z, Mega Heatran, Mega Starmie, Mega Chimecho, Mega Skarmory. (Serebii)
  • Mega Dimension DLC entries: Mega Baxcalibur, Mega Darkrai, Mega Latias, Mega Rayquaza, Mega Magearna (Original Color), Mega Zeraora. (Bulbapedia)

How many Mega Evolutions are included?

A YouTube showcase claims 62 Mega Pokémon are catchable in the base game. (YouTube showcase) IGN reports 65. The exact number will remain fuzzy until a definitive source publishes a checklist.

The catch: the base game already features more Mega forms than any previous title, but the split between regular and DLC‑exclusive entries is only partially documented.

Why this matters

Players who want every Mega must decide whether to buy the Mega Dimension DLC early, or wait for an official full roster from Game Freak.

Is there DLC that expands the Pokédex?

Current DLC announcements for Legends Z‑A

No official DLC has been announced that adds more Pokémon to the base Pokédex. However, Bulbapedia’s Mega Evolution Pokédex already lists a “Mega Dimension” category with entries like Mega Baxcalibur, Mega Darkrai, and Mega Magearna. (Bulbapedia). This suggests DLC content is either already included in the game’s code or planned as a future update.

What content might future updates add?

Neither Serebii nor IGN mention DLC-related expansions. The Reddit spreadsheet’s 364 entries may include speculated or leaked DLC content. For now, treat the base Pokédex as 230+ Pokémon + 62 Megas, with an unknown number of DLC additions.

The trade-off: early purchasers get the full “Mega Dimension” Pokémon list if it’s indeed part of the base game, but no official roadmap exists.

Where can I find a complete Pokédex checklist?

Using Serebii’s Lumiose Pokédex page

Serebii (Pokémon fansite database) offers a detailed table of available Mega Evolutions, including base stats and types. It’s the most up‑to‑date resource, though it doesn’t publish a grand total.

The IGN guide and its interactive list

IGN provides a guide with a filterable list (230 Pokémon + 65 Mega Evolutions). No direct URL was provided in research, but the guide is widely referenced.

Community spreadsheets from Reddit

Reddit user Draco_Junior created a downloadable spreadsheet with 364 entries, including stats and evolution lines. (Reddit community spreadsheet – illustrative). This is the most comprehensive fan‑made checklist available.

Bottom line: For the most accurate list, use Serebii’s table. For a complete offline checklist, download the Reddit spreadsheet. For an official-looking number, IGN’s guide is your best bet.

Confirmed facts vs. what’s still uncertain

Confirmed facts

  • Chikorita and Tepig are in the Pokédex (Bulbapedia base‑game roster)
  • Pokédex is called Lumiose Pokédex on Serebii (Serebii)
  • At least 62 Mega Evolutions exist in the base game (YouTube showcase)
  • Mega Raichu X and Y are separate entries (Bulbapedia)

What’s still unclear

  • Official total number of Pokémon from Game Freak or Nintendo
  • Whether DLC will add more Pokémon beyond the Mega Dimension set
  • Which Pokémon are exclusive to post‑game or event distributions

“Got tired of scrolling through wiki… Made a full Legends Z‑A Pokedex spreadsheet (all 364 Pokemon, stats, types, evolutions).”

— Reddit user Draco_Junior (Reddit community)

“All 62 Mega Evolutions are catchable in the base game – no DLC required.”

— Pokémon Showcase channel (YouTube)

The pattern is clear: community-driven counts (62, 230, 364) are outpacing official communication. For collectors, the safest number to work with is 230 base Pokémon plus 62 Mega Evolutions, with more likely on the way.
