Pixelmon Pokedex Scanner

Pixelmon Pokedex Scanner adds two handheld Pokedex items to Minecraft 1.16.5 Forge + Pixelmon 9.1.12+. Right-click to scan the Pokemon in front of you. The base Pokedex shows IVs, stats, nature, ability, and size on a retro radar chart. Craft it into the Premium Pokedex for palette, moves, EV yield, and type matchups.

What this Pixelmon Pokedex does Look at a wild or spawned Pixelmon, hold a Pokedex, and right-click. The scanner grabs the Pokemon nearest your crosshair (then the closest one to you) and opens a scan screen. If nothing is in view, or a wall/floor is in the way, the click does nothing. Leaves, plants, and water do not block the scan.

Base Pokedex (pokedex:base) Kanto-style clamshell:

IV radar / spider chart — the web shape is IV rank (0–31 per stat)

Real stat values labeled around the hex (HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed)

Nature arrows — red up for the boosted stat, blue down for the cut stat

Size / growth (Pygmy through Ginormous, with scale)

Nature and ability (hidden abilities tagged)

Dex number, level, gender, and IV total out of 186

Premium Pokedex (pokedex:premium) Unova-style slate with the same radar, plus:

Palette (shinies recolor the name)

Moveset

EVs given if the Pokemon is defeated

Weak to / strong against

Why use an IV scanner Pokedex? Stop guessing IVs in the field. This is a survival-friendly Pixelmon IV checker you carry like a real item. Scan breeding targets, shinies, bosses, or anything standing in front of you. Upgrade to Premium when you need moves, EV yield, and matchups without leaving the world.

FAQ Does it scan IVs? Yes. The radar web is IV ranking; the numbers on the edge are the Pokemon's actual stats.

Does it show nature and ability? Yes, including nature boost/cut arrows and hidden ability.

Does it show size? Yes — Pixelmon growth (Ordinary, Huge, Pygmy, etc.) and scale.

What does Premium add? Palette, moveset, EVs given on KO, and weak-to / strong-against.

Can I scan through walls? No. Solid blocks block the scan. Leaves, plants, and water do not.

Singleplayer and servers? Both. Put the mod on the server and every client.

Does this replace Pixelmon's built-in Pokedex? No. This is a handheld scanner item, not the dex completion menu.
