Generation 7 · Alola

How to pronounce every Gen 7 Pokémon name

Generation 7 is the Alola generation: 88 Pokémon, numbers 722 to 809 in the National Pokédex.

65 of the 88 respellings follow English official media or a dictionary, and 23 are our best guess, worked out from the parts of the name because we found no English source that says them out loud. 24 names have medium confidence, usually because English media do not all say it the same way; the note under the name says how. 3 names are marked with a question mark: Dhelmise, Magearna and Stakataka.

The Pokémon Company has corrected 7 names from this generation at its own events: Dewpider, Naganadel, Necrozma, Oranguru, Silvally, Solgaleo and Zeraora. A hyphen in a name is not pronounced: Hakamo-o is hah-KAH-moh-oh, Jangmo-o is JANG-moh-oh and Kommo-o is KOM-moh-oh. A name that starts with X starts with a Z sound: Xurkitree is ZUR-kih-tree.

Capital letters mark the loud syllable: PEE-kuh-choo means the PEE gets the push.
