We recommend doing this one at a time, rather than chopping between the three or more games you're using, but there's no perfect order - just have fun for now!

Step 6 - Now, complete the main story of the games you're going to be using (one from ORAS, one from XY, one from USUM) including the Legendary stories and the Elite Four.Ĭatch every Pokémon you see along the way that you haven't already caught, but don't worry about catching every Pokémon in every patch of grass as you go, because it'll be faster to come back later with higher level, specialised Pokémon and items for catching. If you have the opposing versions from each Gen and two systems then that's great for cutting down trading time, but otherwise one from each is fine - it's no major issue to just trade one version exclusive for another on the GTS down the line. This is because between ORAS and XY, the only unobtainable Pokémon are mythicals (which you need to get from events or trade for) and those newly introduced in Gen 7 (which can all be caught/traded for from USUM).

Step 1 - You need a copy of either Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire (ORAS), plus a copy of either X or Y (XY), and finally a copy of either Pokémon Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon (USUM). Setting up, in fact, is a lengthy enough process as it is, but after ticking off all of the below you'll be in a great position to get started and hopefully continue on your catching quest uninterrupted by diversions for various items or objectives along the way. The Living Dex is a huge undertaking, and so if you want to do it properly, you're going to need to prepare well.

Pokémon Living Pokédex guide - how to get a Living Dex in Pokémon Gen 7 and setting up Thankfully, there are now plenty of resources available to help, from tons of storage in the Pokémon Bank to items like the Oval Charm for speeding up breeding, and the GTS for trading with anyone, anywhere.īelow, we'll take you through everything you need to not just complete your National Dex, but get the full, completionist's dream of the Living Dex - we only really detail the latter, but of course in completing that you'll be completing the former along the way. It seems like a minor difference, but as you'll discover below it can get rather long-winded when you consider the sheer scale of the Pokédex in full. We've been chipping away at the Alolan Dex, slowly but surely.Ī regular National Dex, by contrast, just requires you to have had those Pokémon in your possession at some point in time. So for every three-stage evolution that means you need three different Pokémon. In brief, a Living Dex is not just a complete, National Pokédex of Pokémon caught - it's having a living version of all 806 currently-available Pokémon stored in your boxes or Pokémon Bank.įor example, that means not just having the Venusaur you evolved up from your starter Bulbasuar, but an actual Bulbasaur and Ivysaur stored in your box too.

Living Pokédex - what's the difference between a National Pokédex and a full Living Dex?
We'll also link out to some handy resources you can use along the way, list everything you need (like the games themselves) to get started, and explain any particularly tricky moments you might encounter, too. That's where we can hopefully help: here in our Pokémon Living Dex guide for Gen 7 you'll find our step-by-step guide to setting up and preparing for the challenge, as well as all of our tips for creating a Living Dex for when you get to the task at hand. It takes most players weeks, months or even years to complete, depending on how much of a head start you have and how efficiently you go about it, but worse still there's just no clear way or place to start. It's a challenge, basically, even more so than completing the full National Pokédex and second only to that goal of the truly fanatical who want to catch a Shiny version of every Pokémon too. The Living Dex is the ultimate Pokémon player's goal, requiring a considerable amount of time and patience.
