For context, I work at a bookstore and discovered this little book a week or so ago after a co-worker and I were unboxing our truck. I am not a huge Pokémon fan, but even I could tell that this was special.
After personal flipping through it a few times (but never fully committing to it), another co-worker of mine bought it for a friend’s birthday. It is a bit complicated, but I basically ended up having to take the book home with me. This was so I could deliver it to the birthday girl herself, because the friend who bought it could not actually make it to the party. It was a super thoughtful gift and I was happy to deliver it on their behalf. I have absolutely not idea why I am telling you all of this, but the point is I had the book in my possession for a few hours — so I decided to finally read it.
I really like this book, especially all of the pictures and artwork seen throughout. What I enjoy the most is the fact that this is essentially an in-universe book within the world of Pokémon, as in the trainers from the game/show would buy this at a local Pokéshop or somewhere like that and use it out in the field. It reads to you like a general science/animal studies book would, just a little more colorful and kid-friendly.
However, there are two reasons why I did not give this a perfect score. While it delivers everything promised and much more, I was a bit disappointed to find out that it does not include a full Pokédex. This is not a big deal in the slightest (and the amount of Pokémon included already is astounding), but it would have been a great addition. Apart from that, while I really like this book, and just am not a huge Pokémon guy to begin with. If I were a super-fanatic, I would probably be foaming at the mouth. But as a general fan, I just find it to be pretty neat and really cute. Regardless, if I were able to rate this at four and a half stars, I definitely would.
To wrap things up, I am surprised how much I had to say here. This is such a new release that it would not shock me if I currently have the record for the longest review of this book on Goodreads. I highly recommend to any and all Pokémon fans, as this is an amazing and useful in-universe piece of literature.

There is some surprisingly good info about ecology principles in this book. This would be a great intro to science and ecology for any Pokémon obsessed kid (or adult, haha)!
My only knock against it is that my beloved Goomy does not make an appearance :(

Its rare that I read these books all the way through, but this one I absolutely had to! As a biologist and a Pokemon fan, this book was truly special!

A super cool book full of facts about Pokémon, but in a fun way that keeps you reading. It's just as if the author stepped into the Pokéworld himself and is telling us about Pokémon à la David Attenborough. From flying and running, evolution, heat and ice, differences between Pokémon based on where they come from, and much more. It's like reading a book about birds, only now with Pokémon. Which makes me want to visit that world in real life even more (too bad that's not possible). The book is fully illustrated with beautiful pictures. Oh, and sometimes it was really dark, haha; I know of course that Pokémon need to eat, but you forget it because of everything, and then a Golbat comes along and grabs an Ursaring which is just a direction I didn't expect, haha. Or how there is a Pokémon that MUST keep moving... or else.

I was early to see a movie at the derelict mall on the northwest side of town, so I went to Barnes & Noble (one of the few stores left!) and browsed. The children's section had a Pokémon shelf, I stopped to see if they had anything fun, and lo! Picked up this cute little book by a PhD specializing in the behavioral ecology of seabirds (who has worked for the Pokémon Company since 2019 — an interesting combination of expertise and employer) and an ecological illustrator who focuses on marine behavioral ecology, especially diving physiology.
It's based on the many, many Pokédex entries that have accursed over the years and, at least in part, the real lifeforms that inspired various monsters. Charmingly illustrated and surprisingly detailed. A great book for kids but also fun and unique enough that I enjoyed paging through over the last week. Pokémon are dope. 😎

An absolute joy to read! I've loved pokemon my entire life, since I was 5 years old. This book was what I've always wanted from a pokemon book. It so lovingly explored the ecology, morphology, behaviours of pokemon, of how pokemon would interact with their environments and each other. I even appreciated the book referenced how pokemon would eat each other or fight amongst each other for territory. It really felt like it was a book made from observations and research.
As someone who has studied ecology and loves being outdoors, this book just made my heart swell with happiness. The art and descriptions were fantastic. There were little easter eggs for lifelong fans of the series.
And what's incredible is that they had people who were real life ecologists and biologists and researchers help write this book! Honestly, this is a must read for any pokemon fan, young or old.

My son has gotten into Pokémon in a major way, and as a millennial parent it’s been a blast revisiting my childhood with him. I decided to read this book to him and we were both quickly enamored. To be honest, we forgot we were reading about fictional creatures once or twice. Very fun read with lovely illustrations. This has been the first thing he grabs as soon as he wakes up every morning and I loved reading it to him!

Ugh I love Pokemon so much!!!!!! They are all so precious and perfect to me

Not very much new information, I was hoping for more for my combined animal and pokemon autism...Still cute though. The illustration were fun.

An amazing work of literature, of course!!! Loved the illustrations and learned so many things.
At the same time I just refuse to believe Pokemon eat other Pokemon!!! They are all herbivores in my mind.

Pokécology: An Illustrated Guide to Pokémon Ecology by Pikachu Press is a beautifully illustrated companion book that explores the Pokémon world from the perspective of nature, biology, and environmental science. Instead of focusing on battles, training strategies, or game mechanics, the book examines how Pokémon live, interact with one another, and adapt to their surroundings. Presented in the style of a natural history guide, it invites readers to imagine Pokémon as living creatures that occupy diverse ecosystems, each with unique behaviors, habitats, diets, and survival strategies. Combining colorful artwork with accessible explanations, the book encourages fans to view the Pokémon universe as a rich, interconnected ecosystem rather than simply a collection of individual species.
The book begins by introducing the concept of Pokémon ecology, explaining that every Pokémon exists within a larger web of relationships involving other Pokémon, plants, weather, geography, and human communities. Just like animals in the real world, Pokémon rely on their environments for food, shelter, reproduction, and protection. Their physical characteristics, elemental types, and special abilities are presented as evolutionary adaptations that allow them to thrive in particular habitats. Readers are encouraged to think about Pokémon not only as powerful companions but also as living organisms shaped by the natural world around them.
A major focus of the guide is the incredible diversity of Pokémon habitats. Forests, mountains, deserts, caves, rivers, oceans, grasslands, wetlands, snowy peaks, and volcanic regions all support different communities of Pokémon. The book explains why certain species are commonly found in specific locations and how environmental conditions influence their behavior. Water-type Pokémon flourish in lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, while Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon often inhabit rugged landscapes where their sturdy bodies provide protection. Grass-type Pokémon blend naturally into forests and meadows, while Ice-type species have evolved to survive freezing temperatures. These examples help readers appreciate the close connection between each Pokémon and its environment.
The guide also explores how Pokémon obtain food and energy. Some species graze on plants, berries, or nectar, while others hunt smaller prey or forage for minerals and natural resources. Certain Pokémon have highly specialized diets that match their physical abilities, demonstrating how different species occupy unique ecological roles. The book explains that these feeding relationships help maintain balance within Pokémon ecosystems, much like food chains in nature. Predators, scavengers, herbivores, and pollinators all contribute to healthy environments, illustrating that even the smallest Pokémon can play an important part in sustaining the larger ecosystem.
Behavior and adaptation receive significant attention throughout the book. Readers learn that Pokémon develop unique survival strategies depending on the challenges they face. Some rely on camouflage to avoid predators, others use speed or flight to escape danger, while some live in groups to increase their chances of survival. Defensive abilities, territorial behavior, migration, seasonal changes, and nesting habits are described in ways that resemble real-world wildlife studies. By comparing fictional Pokémon behaviors to familiar biological concepts, the guide makes ecology both entertaining and educational for readers of all ages.
The book also examines the relationships between different Pokémon species. Some cooperate for mutual benefit, while others compete for food, territory, or mates. Symbiotic partnerships demonstrate how two very different species can help each other survive, whereas rivalries illustrate the constant competition that exists in healthy ecosystems. The guide emphasizes that balance is maintained through countless interactions among species rather than through the dominance of any single Pokémon. These ecological connections reinforce the idea that biodiversity strengthens the stability of the natural world.
An important theme throughout the guide is the relationship between humans and Pokémon. Rather than portraying humans simply as Trainers, the book explores how people and Pokémon coexist in farms, cities, forests, research centers, and protected natural areas. Some Pokémon assist with transportation, agriculture, construction, or emergency services, while others remain wild and largely untouched by human civilization. The guide encourages respect for wild Pokémon and highlights the importance of observing them responsibly without disrupting their natural behavior. This perspective promotes the idea that successful coexistence depends on understanding and protecting nature rather than controlling it.
The beautifully detailed illustrations are one of the book's greatest strengths. Instead of presenting Pokémon in battle poses, many illustrations depict them interacting naturally with their environments. Readers see Pokémon searching for food, caring for young, building nests, migrating, resting, or communicating with members of their own species. Landscapes are filled with plants, weather patterns, and environmental details that help create a believable living world. These illustrations complement the written explanations by encouraging careful observation, much like the field guides used by real-life naturalists.
Conservation is another important message woven throughout the book. As readers explore different ecosystems, they are reminded that healthy habitats are essential for Pokémon survival. Environmental changes, habitat loss, pollution, and human expansion can affect entire populations if ecosystems become unbalanced. Although these themes are presented in a gentle, age-appropriate way, they encourage readers to think about the importance of protecting biodiversity in both the Pokémon world and the real one. By drawing these parallels, the guide subtly teaches environmental responsibility and appreciation for nature.
The book also sparks curiosity by encouraging readers to observe, compare, and ask questions about the natural world. Rather than treating every mystery as fully explained, it invites fans to imagine how Pokémon evolve, communicate, reproduce, and adapt over time. This scientific approach encourages critical thinking while preserving the sense of wonder that has always been central to the Pokémon universe. Young readers, in particular, may find themselves becoming more interested in biology, ecology, and wildlife after seeing familiar Pokémon presented through the lens of natural science.
Overall, Pokécology: An Illustrated Guide to Pokémon Ecology is an engaging blend of art, science, and imagination that expands the Pokémon universe beyond battles and adventures. Pikachu Press presents Pokémon as living creatures that exist within complex ecosystems, demonstrating how habitats, adaptation, biodiversity, and environmental balance shape every aspect of life. Through accessible explanations and vibrant illustrations, the book celebrates curiosity, observation, and respect for nature while offering fans a fresh perspective on the world of Pokémon. Its central message is that every creature, no matter how large or small, plays a meaningful role in maintaining the health of its environment, reminding readers that understanding nature is one of the greatest adventures of all.

When I heard about this book, I was fascinated! I got my hands on it as soon as I can and throughout enjoyed it! While there was nothing truly groundbreaking, I did find myself surprised at a few things like there's a ground type that actually sleeps in trees, how some Pokemon have a rivalry with one another for stolen food, and a few more things.
This does feel like a love letter to the series. These entries were based on a combination of all the entries from the games over the last 3o years and real life animal behaviors-thanks to the writer and artist being real life biology scientists. The art style really fits all the Pokemon, even getting a few more sweet comical moments in the background while really showing Pokemon living in a world.
Definitely recommend for Pokemon fans!
Don't really have a favorite quote or fact-but the comparison made between Magikarp and Gyarados was absolutely wonderful, noting how weak Magikarp is by, for example, not being able to chomp on a stick while Gyarados can chomp through a log no problem.

This book was so friggin' cute!!!!!!
The book didn't have much new information and mostly just re-used the same pokedex entries, but it still all felt so fun because of they way the illustrated and expanded on what we already know. It was very smart getting two ecologists to write and illustrate this book because this genuinely feels like a real biology book you'd see in a school or something. Also, I'm a zoology nerd, so I was giggling and kicking my feet and making connections the entire time, so if you're also a zoology nerd, you'll have a lot of fun reading this.

This book is really well done, and the illustrations are gorgeous. It’s a super cute and interesting book, the topic of Pokemon ecology was a really fun to explore.
It taught me more about Pokemon and the way they interact with each other, and I will definitely pay more attention to the Pokedex entries from now on. I would have never have thought those Pokemon acted in that way beforehand. The illustrations really bring this book to life.
Overall, a super cute and fun/informative read with beautiful illustrations. For me, five stars for sure.

What a delightful take on the mysterious world of Pokemon. My main takeaway is the depth i believe most people don’t even realize exists in this world.
It’s hard to remember you’re reading about made up “animals” while you read this book. As a huge fan of Pokemon, I found many of the insights fascinating; I’d never actually considered the notion of Pokemon predators and prey.
It’s the perfect gift for any Pokemon fan and maybe even for anyone with a strong interest in zoology.

MOSSST WANTED! PALING DICARI! The author, Yoshinari Yonehara of The Pokémon Company, and illustrator, Chihiro Kinoshita, both hold doctorate degrees and have studied animal behavior and ecology, which gives them a unique perspective on Pokécology and allows them to share a never-before-seen perspective on Pokémon. https://www.periplus.com/p/9781604382...+

The clear stand-out feature of this book is the illustrations: they’re colorful, adorable, and full of personality. My kids and I enjoyed flipping through the book and noticing all the detail and character incorporated.
The biology part was fascinating but a bit repetitive. The wording felt encumbered as well. The best portions clearly related Pokémon ecology to real-world ecology; I just wish there was more of that clear side-by-side.
We learned lots, fell in love with some Pokémon as we discovered more about them, and appreciated the joyful art along with way.

I loved everything about this! The way the content of the book combines information from Pokédex entries (which are listed in the back like a bibliography!) and similarities to real-life biology/ecology to create a full picture is really cleverly done. I also love all the art, shoutout to Cubone for really going through it and (spoiler) evolving at the end!!

This was just darling. So many cute and fun illustrations, and I’m getting to love these types of stories/experiences where we see Pokémon in a more grounded, living setting (this, Pokopia, Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Concierge)
This is a must have if you’re a Pokémon fan.

So fun and cute and well-conceived and -structured. I love their commitment to building a full world, and at a thousand pokemon, that’s really very possible. can’t wait to get a copy for my ten-year-old cousin (no, he can’t have mine)
Review of advance copy
It's really interesting to learn more about the world of Pokemon! Pokecology takes a look at Pokedex entries and, with brilliant illustrations, shows what that would look like.
I've learned a lot about the ecosystems of the Pokemon world, and much more!

I love the way this book was written. The ecology is real even if the Pokemon are fictional - it tries (and I think succeeds, but I don't actually know if I am qualified to judge that!) to teach kids how to observe and think with an ecological mindset.
September 16, 2026
Extremely cute, and very sneakily educational - as a kid I don’t think I ever realized how much real-world biology/ecology went into the design of Pokémon, but rewatching the series with Kidlet now as an adult is making me appreciate it anew. My younger self would have LOVED this book.
