List of Pokémon by shape

The shape (body style in Generation IV and form in Generation V) is an attribute that all Pokémon have. The amount of body styles is defined in the videogames, and there are only 14 groups of Pokémon, each group defining the Pokémon by the characteristics of their bodies, fundamentally the limbs.

The first games that included this classification were Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and it has been present since then in all the main games of Pokémon. The classification is found in the Pokédex.

Trivia

 * Caterpillar Pokémon like Wurmple and Weedle are cataloged in shape 2, but Caterpie, Sewaddle and Larvesta, that are also caterpillars, are found in shape 14 for having six legs, exclusive characteristic of insects.
 * Volcarona has six wings, characteristic that doesn't belong to any shape, but it's possible it was cataloged in shape 13 because it's where its characteristis fit the most.
 * Lickilicky is in shape 12 despite having tail.
 * Togetic and Victini are found in shape 12 despite having wings.
 * Charizard, Druddigon, Zekrom and Dragonite have wings, and even so, are cataloged in shape 6, instead of shape 9. So, they're cataloged like Pokémon without wings.
 * Palpitoad is cataloged in shape 6, despite having no arms.
 * There were no Generation VI Pokémon that were added to shape 3.
