Generation 5 · Unova
How to pronounce every Gen 5 Pokémon name Generation 5 is the Unova generation: 156 Pokémon, numbers 494 to 649 in the National Pokédex.
138 of the 156 respellings follow English official media or a dictionary, and 18 are our best guess, worked out from the parts of the name because we found no English source that says them out loud. 19 names have medium confidence, usually because English media do not all say it the same way; the note under the name says how.
The Pokémon Company has corrected 8 names from this generation at its own events: Alomomola, Archen, Emolga, Ferrothorn, Minccino, Munna, Reuniclus and Sigilyph.
Capital letters mark the loud syllable: PEE-kuh-choo means the PEE gets the push.
