Pokecology Guidebook Offers Illustrated Look at Pokemon Habitats

Have you ever dreamed of being a Pokemon researcher? If so, you'll need to do some studying to become a bonafide expert in the field of pocket monsters, and that's where this informative book comes into play. Pokecology: An Illustrated Guide to Pokemon Ecology is an official book that explores the habitats of the famous monsters, and you can add it to your list of study materials for just $15 ahead of its release on April 21, 2026.

The Pokecology explores the ecologies of Pokemon based on data from the Pokedex. The 208-page book is full of visuals that examine the similarities, differences, generalities, and relationships between Pokemon ecologies, and Chihiro Kinoshita, a real-life expert in animal behavior and ecosystems, has illustrated it. The book is also officially licensed by The Pokemon Company, as it's produced through its publishing imprint, Pikachu Press.

This comprehensive guide provides readers with a scientific approach to understanding Pokemon habitats and behaviors. By examining the ecological relationships between different species, the book offers insights that go beyond what players might learn from the games themselves. The combination of official Pokemon data and real-world ecological expertise creates a unique perspective on the franchise's creatures.

For more Pokemon academia, you can also check out Pokemon: The Complete Pocket Guide Volume 1 and Volume 2. The first 560-page volume covers Pokedex entries No. 1 through 442, and the 552-page Volume 2 covers Pokémon 443 through 898 on the National Pokedex. This is a fairly comprehensive list, but you won't find Pokemon from the Paldean region of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet listed here.

The nice thing about these books is that they're designed to be pocket-friendly and they're also available as part of a two-book box set. Each Pokemon is accompanied by details on its stats, abilities, moves, and evolutions. These guides provide a convenient reference for players who want quick access to Pokemon information without needing to consult digital resources.

The Pokemon Pocket Guide Volume 1 is available for $9.76 (was $15), while Volume 2 is priced at $12.60 (was $15). For those who want both volumes, the Complete Pocket Guide Box Set is available for $20.29 (was $29), offering a discount for purchasing the pair together. These guides complement the Pokecology book by providing detailed information about individual Pokemon species.

Speaking of Pokemon habitats and ecology, you can also look forward to Pokemon Pokopia next year. Preorders are now live for the Minecraft-inspired Pokemon game, which sees players work to restore a desolate land into a paradise for Pokemon. Priced at $70, it'll be released for Switch 2 consoles on March 5, 2026.

Pokemon Pokopia represents a different approach to exploring Pokemon habitats, allowing players to actively participate in creating and managing environments for the creatures. This interactive experience complements the educational content found in books like Pokecology, giving fans multiple ways to engage with Pokemon ecology and habitat management.

The combination of these educational resources and interactive games provides Pokemon fans with comprehensive ways to learn about and engage with the franchise's creatures. Whether through reading about ecological relationships in the Pokecology guide or building habitats in Pokemon Pokopia, fans have multiple avenues to deepen their understanding of the Pokemon world.

These releases demonstrate The Pokemon Company's commitment to providing educational and entertaining content that goes beyond the main series games. By offering books that explore scientific concepts and games that allow creative expression, the franchise continues to appeal to fans of all ages and interests.
