Pokemon Uranium Pokedex Guide: Dex Numbers, Types, and Evolution Families

The Pokemon Uranium Pokedex is the backbone of any serious playthrough in the Tandor region. Because this fan-made RPG fills its regional dex with original creatures rather than the familiar National Dex lineup, you cannot coast on muscle memory from the mainline games — every entry is a genuine discovery. Understanding how the Pokemon Uranium Pokedex is organized saves you hours of guesswork when you are tracking an evolution method, checking a catch rate, or hunting down a legendary.

That structure matters more here than in most Pokemon titles. Uranium expects you to plan ahead: gym battles punish improvisation, and rare species are easy to miss entirely if you do not know which category they belong to. A well-sorted dex turns a vague "where do I even find that thing?" into a two-minute lookup.

What the Pokemon Uranium Pokedex Actually Tracks

Community-maintained documentation breaks each entry into several layers. Most players only ever look at the number, name, and typing, but the other layers are where the practical value lives.

If you are preparing for a specific gym, the typing column and the base stat column do most of the work. If you are a completionist, the attribute filters — body style, color, footprint — matter far more, because they let you audit exactly what you have and have not caught.

How Dex Numbers Work in Tandor

Numbering opens with #001 Orchynx, the Grass/Steel starter, followed immediately by its evolution Metalynx at #002. Two entries from the same family sitting back to back tells you something useful: the earliest numbers belong to the species the game wants you to meet first.

Community reports suggest the Tandor dex is ordered roughly by story progression rather than alphabetically or by type, which is why starter lines and common early-route species cluster near the front. Legendary and event-only species tend to be grouped by category instead, so do not assume a high number automatically means a late-game encounter.

One thing that trips up newcomers: this is a regional dex, not a national one. There is no Kanto or Johto block to scroll past, and the game's own numbering is the only numbering that matters for completion tracking. If you have played the official games for years, expect to unlearn your reflexes.

Sorting the Dex by Evolution Family

Evolution family is the filter most players underuse, and it is the fastest way to judge whether a wild encounter is worth a ball.

The Orchynx line is the cleanest example of a two-stage family: the starter entry evolves into a single, predictable final form. Branched families are the ones to watch carefully, because one catch can end up as any of several final forms depending on conditions that are not obvious from the main entry page.

Before you commit to raising something, open its family page and confirm two things: the evolution method and whether the middle stage changes EV yield. Community wikis list both, and a five-second check can save you a wasted training session.

Special Categories Worth Hunting

The wiki groups certain species into named categories, which makes targeted hunting dramatically easier. According to the community-maintained index, these groupings include:

Legendary and mythical entries are the most requested lookups, and with good reason — the game's biggest names are filed separately from ordinary route encounters. Treat those pages as spoiler territory, because they often reveal where and when a target appears.

Using Stat and Attribute Filters to Build a Team

Once you move past identification, the stat filters become a team-building toolkit. Each one answers a different question.

A practical habit: shortlist three candidates for a gym, then compare base stats side by side before you spend a single Rare Candy. Community reports consistently show that the players who struggle with mid-game gyms are the ones who trained the first decent-looking catch instead of the right one.

Practical Tips for Getting More Out of the Dex

• Catch first, analyze later. Registering an entry is permanent progress; you can always release or box the specimen afterward.
• Use category tags as a checklist. Start with the starter, fossil, and pseudo-legendary groups — they are the easiest to plan around.
• Check friendship requirements early. If a target evolves through friendship, start raising it the moment you catch it.
• Verify your game build before long hunts. If you want to confirm which release you are running, the official Pokemon Uranium site is the place to check for the current download.
• Log your own encounter locations. The community wiki's Pokedex index is a strong reference, but your own notes about routes and conditions are often faster to search.
• Do not ignore the Nuclear typing. It is a signature mechanic of this game, and entries reflect it, so a species you think you know can behave very differently than expected.
• Scan height and weight entries. A few in-game checks care about physical data, and the dex lists it directly.

FAQ

How many Pokemon are in the Pokemon Uranium Pokedex? Community-maintained counts place the Tandor regional dex in the low 200s of original species, which is why the dex is organized with filters rather than a single flat list. Exact totals shift as the community documents new entries, so treat any single number as approximate.

Does the Pokemon Uranium Pokedex include official Pokemon? The regional dex is built almost entirely from original species created for the game. That is exactly why the dex matters so much: you cannot lean on prior knowledge of type matchups, and reading entries is the fastest way to learn what a new creature actually does.

Where is the best place to look up dex entries? Your in-game Pokedex fills in as you catch and encounter species. For evolution methods, catch rates, EV yields, and category groupings, the community wiki is the most detailed reference, and it is updated by players rather than by the original developers.

What should I check first on any new entry? Start with typing, then base stats, then evolution family. Those three columns answer whether a species fits your team, whether it is worth the training time, and whether you should expect it to change form later — all in under a minute.

Get into the habit of reading the dex before you commit to a hunt, and the Tandor region stops feeling like a maze of unknowns. The Pokemon Uranium Pokedex rewards players who plan, and a few minutes of filtering will consistently beat an hour of wandering.
