Every Dog Pokémon on the Pokédex Listed

When setting out on your first Pokémon adventure, a dog Pokémon can make a great addition to your team. After all, dogs are loyal, friendly, and (in the Pokémon universe) able to incinerate enemies with a powerful Fire Blast!

While we would advise against barbecuing those who look at you funny with your powerful Houndoom, we recommend checking out our comprehensive list of every “Dog” Pokémon as of Generation Eight!

We’ll also be including several wolf and fox-type Pokémon, considering these are part of the canine family (or are, at least, canine adjacent). So, let’s look at how man’s best friend is depicted in Pokémon!

How Many Dog Pokemon Are There?

There are 32 dog or dog-type Pokémon across the eight mainline generations of Pokémon games. With Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet on the horizon, we will be adding even more canine creatures to our already stacked Pokédex of 898!

So, now that we’ve answered the question “how many dog Pokémon are there?” we should probably find out what exactly those 32 Pokémon are!

With so many dog Pokémon out there, It can be challenging to keep track of them. We will break down how to catch each of these dog Pokémon using the guide below as clarification:

Wild: This Pokémon is obtainable in the wild through ordinary catching means.
Evolve: You must evolve another Pokémon through level up or other requirements (Friendship, Elemental Stones, etc.)
Overworld: These are Pokémon found in the game’s overworld and can usually only be caught once (including legendary Pokémon but also static encounters like Snorlax or Sudowoodo).
Event: These are Pokémon only obtainable through official Nintendo sanctioned events.
In-game Trade: Pokémon that cannot be caught and are only available through in-game trades with NPCs.
Gift: Not to be confused with “Mystery Gift” Pokémon (which would fall under the “Event” classification), Gift Pokémon are given to you by NPCs in the game.
Starter: These are Starter Pokémon or their subsequent evolutions.
Other: These are Pokémon that do not fit into any previous classifications.

We will omit “Trade” and “Breed” classifications as you can obtain any Pokémon through a trade with a real-life player.

Similarly, should you have access to the final form of a Pokémon, you can always breed them to get the first and second stages.

Complete List of Dog Pokémon in the Pokédex

Now, without further ado, let’s look at our comprehensive list of every dog Pokémon on the Pokédex!

Vulpix

Number: #037
Type: Fire
Generation: I
How to Catch: Wild

It seems strange to start a list of all dog Pokémon with a creature that may not even be considered a dog Pokémon, but, trust us, we’ll get there! Vulpix is a fire fox Pokémon who first appeared in the original Red, Blue, and Yellow games. While Vulpix never really made a name for itself outside of the Little Cup, fans love this fluffy fox, thanks to its role on Brock’s team in the anime! You’d think that with such a massive weakness to water-type Pokémon already, Brock would look for some electric or grass-type Pokémon to counter his team’s glaring flaws. However, none can resist the tempting call of adding a dog Pokémon to their team!

Vulpix was lucky to receive a coveted regional variant in Generation VII’s Alola region. Our fiery fox trades in its flames and becomes a pure ice-type.

Ninetales

Number: #038
Type: Fire
Generation: I
How to Catch: Evolve Vulpix (Fire/Ice Stone)

Ninetales is the Kitsune-inspired evolution to Vulpix. However, unlike its pre-evolution, Ninetales has had a much more star-studded history in the competitive Pokémon scene. While Ninetales did not see much viability until it received the Hidden Ability “Drought,” this addition gave Ninetales the boost it needed to see competitive play as a sun-setter.

Alolan Ninetales also found similar success thanks to its Hidden Ability “Snow Warning,” which summons hail to the battlefield instead of powerful sunlight. The Fairy typing added to Alolan Ninetales gives it more coverage than its fiery counterpart.

Growlithe

Number: #038
Type: Fire
Generation: I
How to Catch: Wild

A dog Pokémon you wanted, so a dog Pokémon you shall get! You can’t get more dog-like than Growlithe, whose Pokédex entry defines it as the “Puppy Pokémon.” Growlithe’s access to powerful fire-type moves makes it more than viable for Little Cup. Add to this strong type coverage with moves like Crunch and Play Rough, and Growlithe becomes a dog Pokémon you can’t just ignore. Hisuian Growlithe took the world by storm with its adorable fringe covering its eyes. While a Rock/Fire typing is less than desirable, you can’t help but want to pet such a good boy!

We also mustn’t forget one of the first introductions many of us received to Growlithe in the form of Officer Jenny’s canine companion! The police force in our world often uses canines, and it seems that dog Pokémon play a similar role in the Pokémon Universe! Almost all of Growlithe’s Pokédex entries reference either its “extreme loyalty” (Soul Silver) or its “faithfulness to people” (FireRed). Truly, Growlithe has canine energy flowing through every bone in its body!

Arcanine

Number: #059
Type: Fire
Generation: I
How to Catch: Wild, Evolve Growlithe (Fire Stone)

Arcanine is “legendary” in name alone. While Arcanine’s design screams mystical fire-breathing doggo, in reality, Arcanine’s slightly above average base stats and lack of any significant coverage make it an afterthought for competitive play. There was a brief stint in Generation VIII where Arcanine saw play, but this was short-lived. Where Arcanine excels, however, is as a rideable Pokémon in both the anime and the Let’s Go series. Arcanine will always be the optimal land-based travel Pokémon in Generation I, thanks to its large size (making the transportation of multiple passengers a breeze) and its high speed!

Hisuian Arcanine suffers even more due to the typing mentioned above of this regional variant. A four-times weakness to water (the most common Pokémon type in the entire game) will never encourage competitive battlers to invest in your stock. Sorry, Arcanine, but you’ll be warming (or set on fire) the subs bench for some time.

Snubbull

Number: #209
Type: Fairy
Generation: II
How to Catch: Wild, Poké Pelago (Ultra Sun/Moon)

Much like most of Generation II’s cast of misfits, Snubbull is utterly forgettable and outclassed by most other Pokémon in the game. Apologies to the three Snubbull Stans in the audience, but even after being gifted the Fairy-type, Snubbull fails to make a name for itself on the competitive playing field. Most Generation II Pokémon suffer from their lack of a second stage. Pokémon like Qwilfish, Misdreavous, and Gligar would never have seen the light of day had future Generations not given them a much-needed evolution.

Snubbull does have an evolution in Generation II and still struggles to keep up with the rapidly expanding metagame. Snubbull had a cute cameo in Detective Pikachu and Pikachu’s Vacation, but, aside from this, we wouldn’t blame you for forgetting it existed.

Granbull

Number: #210
Type: Fairy
Generation: II
How to Catch: Evolve Snubbull

Granbull’s design is inspired heavily by the bulldog, with a more prominent lower jaw and two pointed fangs. Granbull’s design is very intimidating, but, like Snubbull, Granbull is next to useless in competitive play. Granbull has also had very little screen time in the Pokémon anime, with notable appearances in Madame Muchmoney’s Granbull and the opening battle of Pokémon Movie 3, in which Lisa’s Granbull takes on Ash’s Totodile.

Even the Pokémon anime recognized how pitiful Granbull is as Ash manages to one-hit-KO Lisa’s Pokémon with a single water gun!

Houndour

Number: #228
Type: Fire/Dark
Generation: II
How to Catch: Wild

Houndour, as its name would suggest, is a guard-dog Pokémon that evaded many would-be completionists during their first Johto playthrough. Houndour can only be found in Kanto on Route 7 at night with a 5% encounter rate. If you are lucky enough to find one, it has a maximum encounter level of 15, making it next to useless at this point in the game (the player having already beaten the entire Johto League by now).

Houndour is a trophy Pokémon that will complete your Pokédex and do very little else. At least in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, it makes for a decent early-game Fire-type…

Houndoom

Number: #229
Type: Fire/Dark
Generation: II
How to Catch: Evolve Houndour, Wild (Shining Pearl), Grand Underground (Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl).

Houndoom’s lack of any defenses coupled with its average speed makes it susceptible to priority moves like Mach Punch and any Pokémon with a higher speed stat. Houndoom is a great partner throughout anyone’s Pokémon XD playthrough and was a welcome addition to BD/SP’s Pokédex, which previously had only Infernape and Rapidash as final evolution fire-types. However, Houndoom sees very little competitive play in its base form.

Mega Houndoom, on the other hand, is… still relatively unviable. Mega Houndoom had an interesting niche in the sun as a Solar Power wall breaker or utility taunter, but that is where this Cerberus-looking guard dog’s journey ends. As a competitive battler, Houndoom never had the chance to shine. As a dog Pokémon, Houndoom’s design is still one of the coolest!

Smeargle

Number: #235
Type: Normal
Generation: II
How to Catch: Wild

Smeargle is a dog Pokémon with a long history throughout the competitive Pokémon scene. Smeargle’s gimmick is that it only learns one move through leveling up, this being “Sketch.” Sketch allows Smeargle to copy the last move used by an opponent and add it to its move set permanently!

This one ability made Smeargle a terror of the metagame for some time, as its ability to cripple enemies with Dark Void (putting both opponents to sleep at the same time) made it a staple on most teams. After Dark Void became banned in competitive VGC double battles, Smeargle’s use faded. The French-style dog painter Pokémon still had its uses but could never return to the very top of the metagame.

Poochyena

Number: #261
Type: Dark
Generation: III
How to Catch: Wild

A dog is to man as Poochyena is to Grunts! That being, of course, best friends forever! Team Aqua and Team Magma can rarely be found without a dog Pokémon by their side, and Poochyena happens to be the one you’ll be battling the most!

Poochyena is a dog Pokémon that borrows elements from the hyena and the wolf. You would think this would make for a great Pokémon, but, unfortunately, Poochyena is very weak due to it being obtainable from the game’s first route.

Mightyena

Number: #262
Type: Dark
Generation: III
How to Catch: Evolve Poochyena, Wild

Considering that Mightyena is the “Bite Pokémon,” its bark is far more threatening than any light chomp it may inflict upon you. Mightyena’s intimidating design is offset by its pitiful base stats and shallow move pool.

Mightyena is a dog Pokémon whose sole purpose is to complete your Pokédex and make a somewhat scary inclusion to an Aqua or Magma Admin’s team.

Electrike

Number: 309
Type: Electric
Generation: III
How to Catch: Wild, Poké Pelago (Ultra Moon)

Electrike found a home on many Ruby and Sapphire teams due to the hope that it would evolve into something extraordinary in the future! Unfortunately, those who invested their coveted Shock Wave TM into Electrike after defeating Watson may feel remorse as Electrike and its evolution don’t see much play in the competitive scene.

Electrike itself is rarely considered even as a Little Cup contender, but, as electric dog Pokémon go, they don’t get much cuter than Electrike!

Manectric

Number: #310
Type: Fire/Dark
Generation: III
How to Catch: Evolve Electrike, Wild

“Squandered potential” is the phrase that springs to mind when describing Manectric. A lightning dog Pokémon with a thunderbolt mohawk? Cool! A design based on the mythological Kirin? Sign us up! Unfortunately, Manectric has abysmal base stats and a move pool only a Luvdisc could love.

Mega Manectric did see some play in VGC thanks to its Intimidate ability and access to Volt Switch (allowing it to shuffle attack drops on opposing enemies). Most players’ difficult choice is when to Mega Evolve their electric dog Pokémon. Intimidate is very powerful, but Lightning Rod support is invaluable in certain matchups.

Riolu

Number: #447
Type: Fighting
Generation: IV
How to Catch: Wild, Gift (Diamond/Pearl & Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl)

Riolu is a baby Pokémon meaning that its base stats are utterly atrocious (making it next to unusable). Baby Pokémon fall into obscurity due to their necessity to evolve to become even somewhat viable.

Riolu will be added to almost every Generation IV team due to the monstrous strength of its evolution. As dog Pokémon go, Riolu is incredibly cute, and watching Ash bond with his Riolu in the newest season of the Pokémon anime has been a joy to see!

Lucario

Number: #448
Type: Fighting/Steel
Generation: IV
How to Catch: Evolve Riolu (Friendship), Gift (X/Y), Wild (Sun/Moon & Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon)

Lucario is the poster dog Pokémon for Generation IV and features in many different eras of Pokémon. Lucario and the Mystery of Mew made the aura dog Pokémon a household name, and Riley’s gift to the player of a Riolu egg made it a staple inclusion for any Generation IV playthrough. Lucario was subsequently added to Super Smash Brothers as the face of the then-current Generation of Pokémon.

Competitively, Lucario has seen play up to the most recent Generation VIII Sword and Shield Games. Mega Lucario was a powerful damage dealer and the Dynamax Beat Up Strategy to get Justified Lucario to plus six was also used for some time. Ultimately, Lucario is a dog Pokémon that has become almost as recognizable as Pikachu and Charizard. It may not be the strongest, but it’s certainly no slouch either!

Shaymin

Number: #492
Type: Grass
Generation: IV
How to Catch: Event

In its Land Form, Shaymin is an adorable little hedgehog with brightly colored flowers all across its back. Shaymin is cute to no avail but an afterthought when it comes to competitive battling. Sky Form Shaymin blows Land Form Shaymin out of the Floarama Flower Field and is considered a strong pick even in the legendary-heavy Uber tier!

Sky Shaymin sheds its hedgehog form and becomes much more like the dog Pokémon we have seen before. Gaining the flying type in this form, Shaymin’s move pool and type coverage improve drastically, making it extremely capable of taking down water, fighting, and grass-type Pokémon. While it gains a four times weakness to ice in this form, the benefits of Sky Form Shaymin heavily outweigh this drawback.

Lillipup

Number: #506
Type: Normal
Generation: V
How to Catch: Wild

Lillipup is the adorable first route Normal type of Generation V, meaning that, what it lacks in viability, it makes up for in being a very good boy!

Lillipup is barely on the radar of any serious Pokémon trainer, and while its subsequent evolutions are passably decent, Lillipup falls into the same limbo as Rattata and Sentret.

Herdier

Number: #507
Type: Normal
Generation: V
How to Catch: Evolve Lillipup, Wild (Black/White & Black 2/White 2)

Herdier is known as the “loyal dog Pokémon,” making its gentlemanly design similar to an intellectual butler. Herdier is a stage two middle evolution, meaning that it also occupies a liminal space being not as cute as its first form but not as powerful as its final form.

Intimidate is an excellent ability for any Pokémon, and Sand Rush can be devastating in the proper context. However, Herdier should almost always evolve into Stoutland should you even consider adding a Pokémon from this evolutionary line to your team.

Stoutland

Number: #508
Type: Normal
Generation: V
How to Catch: Evolve Herdier, Wild (Black/White & Black 2/White 2)

Stoutland is a large, fluffy, mustachioed dog Pokémon and the final evolution of the Lillipup line. Stoutland doesn’t offer anything that other normal-type Pokémon do either equally well or far better than it can. Being a pure normal-type leaves Stoutland with very few STAB attacks that can also hit super-effectively as no type in the game is weak to normal moves.

Furthermore, Stoutland’s powerful attack stat comes with the caveat of abysmal defenses. Stoutland is useful in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon—where the player can ride around on the back of this loyal dog Pokémon and search for hidden items! At least Stoutland found use somewhere…

Zorua

Number: #570
Type: Dark
Generation: V
How to Catch: Gift (Black/White), Wild

Zorua and Zoroark are the annual edgy wolf/fox-like Pokémon designed to entice kids to pick up the new game. This tradition, started by Lucario, has seen mixed results. Whether or not these Pokémon are considered viable is up for debate; their designs are almost always impeccable.

Zorua is an adorable fox Pokémon whose primary purpose in life is to be cute and evolve into Zoroark! Boasting one of the best shiny forms in Pokémon, Zorua is a trophy that many trainers would be happy to add to their collection. Hisuian Zorua, while still inferior to its second stage evolution in almost every way, is another 10/10 design that Game Freak knocked out of the park.

Zoroark

Number: #571
Type: Dark
Generation: V
How to Catch: Evolve Zorua, Wild

Zoroark has seen little tournament viability over the years after VGC added team preview to the metagame. Zoroark’s ability masks it in the guise of the last Pokémon in your party, making your opponent potentially use a wrong move or underestimate its power/speed. This is an excellent ability in theory and in keeping with Zoroark’s theme. However, after team preview became commonplace and trainers could see that their opponent was running a Zoroark, any element of surprise fell by the wayside.

Hisuian Zoroark possesses one of the most unique typings in the entire game: a Normal and Ghost-type. This means Hisuian Zoroark is only weak to Dark-type attacks, completely dwarfing the many weaknesses of its Generation V counterpart. Add an immunity to Normal, Fighting, and Ghost, and resistance to Bug and Poison, and Hisuian Zoroark becomes a genuine threat!

Furfrou

Number: #676
Type: Normal
Generation: VI
How to Catch: Wild

Furfrou is a gimmick Pokémon whose entire premise revolves around the many hairstyles you can give to it.

The proclaimed “Poodle Pokémon” has no use outside those who enjoy dressing up and customizing their Pokémon. Furfrou does feel at home in the French-inspired region of Kalos, being a dog Pokémon based on a poodle. Still, it becomes utterly useless in any combat situation.

Rockruff

Number: #744
Type: Rock
Generation: VII
How to Catch: Wild, Event (Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon – “Own Tempo”)

We seem to have derailed slightly over the last few entries. Hence, it’s nice to get back to a true-blue dog Pokémon. With how many dog Pokémon there are in the Pokédex, many of these are only considered canines, but Rockruff is a dog Pokémon through and through!

The “Puppy Dog Pokémon” is cute as a button, and while it possesses low base stats, it was never intended to be used in this base form. Several Rockruff also have the coveted “Own Tempo” ability, which prevents it from becoming confused, but this is only obtainable through special USUM events or Max Raids.

Lycanroc

Number: #745
Type: Dark
Generation: VII
How to Catch: Evolve Rockruff, Wild

Lycanroc is unique in that, depending on the time of day it reaches level 25 as a Rockruff, it will evolve into three distinct forms. Lycanroc’s Midday Form boasts incredibly high attack and speed. The Midnight Form trades in some blinding speed for a more robust defense. Finally, the Dusk Form (only obtainable by evolving an Own Tempo Rockruff between 5 PM and 6 PM) also gains the rare Own Tempo ability and a slight buff to its attack stat.

Lycanroc does not break any boundaries for dog Pokémon or Pokémon in general, but it was one of the most unique concepts we have seen in some time.

Type: Null

Number: #772
Type: Normal
Generation: VII
How to Catch: Gift

Type: Null counts as a dog Pokémon, right? Type: Null is a Frankenstein abomination of Pokémon parts all mismatched together. Defined as the “Synthetic Pokémon” Type: Null found a home on the team of Gladion. We aren’t sure whether Gladion’s unwavering friendship or his banger of a battle theme eventually inspired Type: Null to evolve, but we’re happy such an… interesting-looking creature could find a lovely home.

Type: Null doesn’t see much use in competitive play due to it being only a first stage Pokémon, but, at least as far as dog Pokémon go, he has one of the more unique designs.

Silvally

Number: #773
Type: Normal
Generation: VII
How to Catch: Evolve Type: Null (Friendship)

Silvally is the evolution of Type: Null, and we must yet again ponder whether or not it can be considered a dog Pokémon. It is quadrupedal, has a tail, and enjoys friendship. That sounds like most other dog Pokémon on this list, so we feel it fair to include it.

Regardless, Silvally has the unique ability to change its typing depending on the item it holds. Unfortunately, almost every type of Silvally is next to useless aside from the Fairy-type, which sees limited use as a counter pick. Its move pool is quite large, and it can learn a wide array of TMs, but we recommend keeping this dog Pokémon as a pet rather than a must-have contender for your team.

Nickit

Number: #827
Type: Dark
Generation: VIII
How to Catch: Wild

Nickit is yet another first route forgettable dog Pokémon this time of the fox variety. Its ingenious cat burglar design seems at odds with its dog-like characteristics, but this becomes irrelevant when you consider how useless Nickit and its evolution are in single-player and competitive gameplay.

Nickit’s pure dark typing and low defenses mean that a single Mach Punch is enough to wipe the smug grin off its little face. At least Nickit’s name is rather clever considering Galar is based in the UK.

Thievul

Number: #828
Type: Dark
Generation: VIII
How to Catch: Evolve Nickit, Wild

Like Nickit, there is very little to talk about Thievul. Its low stats, shallow move pool, and lack of any niche make it just another Pokédex filler.

Catch a Nickit as soon as possible, evolve it into a Thievul, and then bench this dog Pokémon in Box One for the remainder of your journey.

Yamper

Number: #835
Type: Electric
Generation: VIII
How to Catch: Wild

Yamper is everything Electrike wanted to be! While Electrike appeals more to a hardcore audience who loves cool designs, Yamper is a cute little corgi dog Pokémon meant to bring joy to anyone who sees it!

Galar is based in the UK, so it was great to see the Queen’s corgis receive some representation in Sword and Shield. Yamper will never see a competitive battlefield, but we think this is for the best. Yamper should stick to what it knows best and continue being an adorable pet!

Boltund

Number: #836
Type: Electric
Generation: VIII
How to Catch: Wild, Evolve Yamper

When even the Pokédex describes you as the “Dog Pokémon,” you know you must be doing something right when contending for the most dog-like Pokémon of all time. Boasting the most basic and obvious dog Pokémon design we’ve seen on any entry on this list yet, Boltund is a loyal companion who would leap at the chance to join you on your Galar adventure.

Sadly, we’ll have to leave Boltund with Nurse Joy at the doggy daycare as it has almost no redeeming qualities statistically. Sorry, Buddy, but you’re going to be waiting a long time for your master to come back home.

Zacian

Number: #888
Type: Fairy (Crowned Sword Form: Steel/Fairy)
Generation: VIII
How to Catch: Overworld

Now, we’re getting into the end-game of dog Pokémon. Zacian and Zamazenta are the only Legendary dog Pokémon in the entire franchise. While others would argue that Raikou, Entei, and Suicune should be considered dog Pokémon, we would say the opposite.

There are plenty of sources on Google that would have you believe this to be true. Questions like “how to catch Legendary dogs in Pokémon GO?” or “How to catch 3 Legendary dogs in Pokémon Silver” are abundant online. However, several fan theories suggest otherwise.

If we are to believe that Ho-oh reincarnated the canonically titled “Legendary Beasts” after Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon perished in the Burned Tower, and we accept that all Eeveelutions are supposed to be hybrids between cats and dogs, then the subsequent revival of Entei, Suicune, and Raikou would place them firmly in the dog-cat hybrid category of species (with a stronger resemblance to cat Pokémon overall). Therefore, these three Pokémon could not be considered pure-bred dog Pokémon.

Remember when this entry was about Zacian?

Zacian is the legendary dog Pokémon of Sword and is based on the mystical wolf-like creature, Fenrir. Zacian is a legendary and makes a great addition to any Uber team.

Its strong Fairy and Steel typing also gives it a plethora of favorable matchups and immunities. Zacian should almost always be used alongside its unique hold item as it gives it a significant power boost.

Zamazenta

Number: #889
Type: Fighting (Crowned Shield Form: Fighting/Steel)
Generation: VIII
How to Catch: Overworld

Finally, to end our comprehensive list of every dog Pokémon ever, we have Zamazenta. Zamazenta, like Zacian, should almost always be used with its signature item, which gives it the much-needed addition of Steel typing. Zamazenta is an Uber-tier Pokémon and will see play in most Uber battles across later generations.

Zacian is, arguably, considered more versatile than Zamazenta, thanks to its Fairy typing. However, Zamazenta is still a defensive powerhouse capable of taking heavy hits and dishing them out as well!

What is Your Favorite Dog Pokémon?

So, there you have it! Our comprehensive list of every dog Pokémon across all eight generations of mainline Pokémon games. Dog Pokémon have some of the most unique designs in all of Pokémon.
