Pokédex heights, lined up clearly
Battles make some Pokémon look enormous. The Pokédex still lists a height in centimetres for each species. This page lines those figures up so you can compare sizes clearly—useful for a debate, a guide, or simple curiosity about who is bigger.
The preview keeps a few familiar species so the scale is easy to read. The centimetre table runs from Ditto to Rayquaza when you want a wider spread by size.
Pokémon size chart (cm, selection)
Short to tall, sorted by size. Pick a portrait when you want that species alone. Mega and regional forms usually have their own entries.
If a species page shows a slightly different value, trust that figure—we revise numbers when sources update.
When sizes feel fuzzy, centimetres settle the order
Camera angles change how big something feels. Centimetres give everyone the same number. If you wonder whether Charizard would tower over a person, start with the listed height, then decide what kind of comparison you care about.
Evolution is not always a gentle step up. Some lines jump a lot; others stay compact. Sorting the table by size, shortest to tallest, makes those jumps easy to see.
The drawings keep silhouettes simple so the heights stay readable. Quote the centimetres when you want everyone working from the same numbers.
Where these heights come from
Heights here match the centimetre values we use for those species across SizeComparison.org—one stable number per entry so charts stay consistent.
Official games and encyclopaedias can revise flavour text over generations. When a clear update is published, we revise that species’ number and this table together. Until then, the figure here is the shared reference we use across the site.
Ways this page helps
A simple way to use it:
- Glance at the lineup to feel who is bigger before you read any numbers.
- Open the centimetre table when you need exact order or a figure you can quote.
- Put a Pokémon next to a person—or next to another species—when you want both in one picture.
For cosplay planning, a written guide, or a group chat debate, the centimetre column gives you a figure you can share. The lineup shows the gap before you dig into the numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real-world heights?
They are the species heights we use for size comparison—the same centimetre figures behind the charts on this site.
Why does the anime look different?
Animation often stretches or shrinks characters for emotion and framing. Pokédex centimetres give you one shared number when you want a clear size order.
Can I compare a Pokémon to a real person?
Yes. Place a person next to a species—you do not need to memorise the whole table.
Will you add more species?
This page is a short sample. Many more Pokémon are available if you want a longer list to compare by size.
How tall is Pikachu?
Pikachu is listed at 40 cm (about 1′4″). The lineup above shows that official centimetre figure next to other species.
How tall is Charizard?
Charizard is listed at 170 cm (about 5′7″). Use the centimetre table when you want to compare it with people or other species.
What does “Pokémon size” mean on this page?
Here it means Pokédex height in centimetres, lined up so you can see who is bigger.
Which Pokémon is largest in this sample?
Rayquaza sits at the top of this table at 700 cm. In the shorter preview lineup above, Snorlax is the biggest at 210 cm.
