All dog Pokémon: Every canine creature to collect

Love Pokémon? Listen to our developer podcast interview!

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.

All dog Pokémon listed

While it can be tricky to pin down a lot of Pokémon and what real-life animal they’re based on, dogs and dog-like ‘Mon are easier to spot.

Below you’ll find the complete list of dog and canine-like Pokémon in the series to date. Yes, foxes count. Sorry, Type: Null and Silvally, you’re just too strange to go in this list.

Without further ado, here’s the complete list of dog/canine Pokémon in order of newest to oldest (national Pokédex):

• Fidough - Fairy
• Dachsbun - Fairy
• Maschiff - Dark
• Mabosstiff - Dark
• Greavard - Ghost

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.
