Species & Evolution
120 species in 40 families. Every family is one animal with three stages; nine regions each breed one type, and three expeditions add four lines each.
Each family is one animal with three stages. Below is every family, its role, and the final stage's base stats as HP/ATK/DEF/SPD — the numbers that define what the line is for. The earlier two stages are the same shape scaled down, at 46% and 72% of the final block.

Merchant Crossroads has no native species. Its encounters are drawn from Starter Ruins, Crimson Plain and Stormbay Docks — it is a crossroads in the literal sense.
Expedition tide Pokemax
The Sunken Fang Archipelago breeds four more evolution lines that exist nowhere else — 12 tide-gated species. The Driftfin and Shellwisp lines surface only at High Tide, the Coralisk and Sprigrove lines only at Low Tide, and both tides can be reached solely during an active expedition.

Hollowstar resonance Pokemax
The Hollowstar Crater adds four more lines — another 12 species, for 108 catchable before Nyxhaven. They are resonance-gated: the Cragmite (rock) and Emberhorn (fire) lines are the base pool, while the Wisplet (ghost) and Skydart (flying) lines surface only during a Starfall — the community event the crater triggers when its shared resonance meter fills.

Nyxhaven moon Pokemax
The Moonless Court of Nyxhaven adds four ice and dark lines — another 12 species, for 120 catchable in all. The Rimelet (ice) and Sablet (dark) lines appear in every moon phase, while the Rimebun (ice) and Cygnette (dark) lines surface only under a Full Moon.

Roles
Every family is built to one of six shapes. The count is how many species carry it.
| Role | Species | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Sweeper | 24 | Highest speed, thin defence. Moves first, dies first. |
| Attacker | 18 | Heavy attack with enough bulk to take one hit back. |
| Allrounder | 18 | No hole anywhere, no spike either. |
| Wall | 12 | Enormous HP and defence, almost no speed. |
| Bulky | 6 | A wall that hits back. |
| Wallbreaker | 6 | The biggest attack numbers on the board, slow enough that you see it coming. |
Speed decides fights. Sweepers hit 133–138 base speed and win the turn. Walls sit at 35–55 and simply never go first — a wall only works if it survives the alpha strike, and against a super-effective STAB hit it will not.
