Weight and Height



Each different Pokémon species and their forms have a standard weight in kilograms (kg) and height in meters (m). The standard weight/height is shown in the Pokédex entry for that Pokémon. However, in Pokémon GO, each acquired Pokémon can vary from the standard value in weight and height. The weight and height of a Pokémon reflects i the size of its 3d model on encounter screen and as buddy. The variation is random when the Pokémon is acquired and depending on how much it vary from the standard weight/height, it can be classified into one of the categories: XXS, XS, XL and XXL.

The classification is done based on multipliers from the standard value in weight and height. The table below shows the multipliers, as well an example applied to Bulbasaur weight and height.



Once the Trainer catch at least three of any one Pokémon, their Pokédex starts to showcase the records for the largest, smallest, heaviest, and lightest specimens them have caught. Trainers who catch XXS or XXL Pokémon or find smaller XS- or XL-sized Pokémon than they caught previously can enjoy a new celebratory message when they break their record. Trainers need to catch at least three of any particular Pokémon to set a record for that Pokémon.
