It dogs.
Dogs are the best. You know it, we know it, heck, even your cat knows it. Thankfully, the Pokémon games are full of the best boys and girls, with there now being a long list of dog Pokémon available to catch, train, and collect.
Now that there are more than 1,000 Pokémon following the release of Scarlet and Violet, there are more than 40 dog and canine-like monsters to collect. If you’re more of a cat person, we’ve also got a list of all the cat Pokémon you can catch.

Read on to discover the names and types of all of the dog Pokémon that have now appeared in the long-running RPG series. With some being left out of the list due to the subjectiveness of their design, this is the most complete list of canine Pokémon to collect and add to your team.

That’s all of the dog Pokémon and our best guesses as what ones are dog-like. As with any list like this, a lot of it is subjective, with the games not too clear on exactly what Pokémon is a dog and what isn’t.
Eevee and its evolutions could have been on the list, for example, but it’s not quite clear if they are dogs, cats, or something else. Suicune and Raikou, too, could be a cat or dog.
