Is there a data sheet out there with every Pokémon and all moves each Pokémon can learn?

1 minute read

I love the data sheets this site has with all moves per generation and their corresponding details, but I want a comprehensive spreadsheet including which Pokémon can learn which moves.

For everything up to US/UM,PokeAPIhas all of this covered. You can find all theirraw data in CSV in their GitHub repo. Pokemon learnsets specifically can beseen here(access via GitHub to download).

You can open CSV in Excel if you want, but care that these are very large files and they’re meant for use in databases (and of course, the API), not for you to read in a spreadsheet. The data is presented using ID numbers, which you could link to the “names” of each item in Excel by downloading all the other sheets that link IDs to names, or write a program that does it. Might take a while though.

If you want data for LGP/E, SW/SH or BD/SP then things get a bit tricky, because PokeAPI developers are resistant to any source that isn’t direct from the games themselves, and their original sourceVeekunhasn’t added new data for those games. There is a fork where they are apparently scraping data from Bulbapedia, but it’s not up to date either. You can keep track of ithere.

I had a look for alternative sources for each “missing” game, and found the following:

You might find some better stuff if you trawl GitHub for a while. Pokemon Showdown hassome databut it’s entirely filtered by generation, not by game, and is not in a spreadsheet format (which you’ll have to get used to). It seems to be up-to-date, though?

It’s possible that Pokemondb.net itself has the “most complete” and most granular learnset data (though it is known to miss some event moves). Pokemaster (who runs the site) hasshown interestin publicly distributing the data, but he hasn’t made any learnset data public. Not sure how Serebii sources their data but it isn’t public either.
