Pokémon Pinball brings together all 151 first-generation Pokémon. This page lists every one of them in Pokédex order, with the field that offers each Pokémon and the locations where you can catch it. For the 72 Pokémon that cannot be caught, it gives the evolution that produces them and the item required. Each card links to that Pokémon’s page in our Pokédex.

How to read the list

  • The label on each card shows the field on which the Pokémon can be obtained: Red, Blue or Both. For an evolved Pokémon, it takes its first stage into account: as long as the starting Pokémon can be caught on the field, its evolution is possible there too.
  • For catchable Pokémon, the note gives the locations on each field. For evolved Pokémon, it gives the starting Pokémon and the item required.
  • For percentages and conditions (two or three GET arrows), see the pages Red Field Pokémon and Blue Field Pokémon.

The three starter Pokémon

The three starter Pokémon of the Red and Blue versions are not all available everywhere. Bulbasaur can be found on both fields: in Pallet Town on the Red Field and in Viridian City on the Blue Field, with a 6.25% chance with two arrows and 18.75% with three arrows in both cases. Charmander exists only on the Red Field, in Pallet Town, with a 37.5% chance with two arrows, the highest rate on the list. Squirtle exists only on the Blue Field, in Viridian City, with a 31.25% chance with two arrows.

The most widespread Pokémon

Some Pokémon turn up almost everywhere. On the Red Field, Pidgey appears in six locations, Spearow and Ekans in five, and Rattata and Krabby in four. On the Blue Field, Pidgey, Spearow and Sandshrew are present in five locations each, and Goldeen, Krabby, Bellsprout and Meowth in four. They fill the remaining slots of the lists when you are hunting a rarer Pokémon.

One Pokémon, one location

At the other end of the scale, 38 Pokémon on the Red Field and 36 on the Blue Field appear in only one location. Pikachu is one of them: it can only be found in Viridian Forest, on both fields, with a 6.25% chance with two arrows but 43.75% with three arrows, or seven chances out of sixteen. Lighting the third GET arrow before starting the mode is therefore the right way to get it. The two lists below give, for each field, these Pokémon and their single location.

Red Field: one location only (38)

Blue Field: one location only (36)

Key takeaways

The list boils down to a few figures. Out of 151 Pokémon, 79 can be caught directly, including Mew, and 72 are evolutions. Among those first 79, 54 are first stages that can be evolved and 25 have neither an evolution nor a pre-evolution. 118 Pokémon can be obtained on the Red Field and 124 on the Blue Field, with 91 in common: 27 are exclusive to the Red Field and 33 to the Blue Field.

Mew.

Two families of Pokémon demand extra effort. The rare ones, which only appear when all three GET arrows are lit, are covered in Rare Pokémon. The evolutions, which depend on three items to be found on the field, are covered in Evolutions. As for Mew, it has its own page: Mew.

Fields that are not alike

The two fields are designed in the image of the Red and Blue versions: some Pokémon exist only on one or the other. Charmander is exclusive to the Red Field, Squirtle to the Blue Field; Articuno and Zapdos are found on the Red Field only, Eevee and Porygon on the Blue Field only. Moltres and Mewtwo are the exception: Indigo Plateau offers them on both. To find out which locations to visit, see the map and locations.

Zapdos.
Eevee.

A few location names deserve a clarification. “Rock Mountain” refers to Rock Tunnel, and “Fuchia City” on the Blue Field’s screen refers to Fuchsia City. Vermilion City comes in two forms: the seaside on the Red Field and the streets on the Blue Field, which do not offer exactly the same Pokémon. Finally, note that the Pokémon in a given location can differ from one field to the other, as in the Safari Zone.
