As of early 2026, there are 1,025 unique Pokémon species in the official National Pokédex.

That number counts each distinct species once (Bulbasaur, Charizard, Mewtwo, etc.), not their alternate forms or special transformations. If you also include things like regional variants (Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian forms), Mega Evolutions, and Gigantamax forms as separate entries, the broader “forms + species” total rises above 1,100, depending on exactly what you choose to count.
