How to find all 151 Pokémon in Google Search’s subgame

A new Pokémon game has appeared! Well, kind of. It involves Google Search, so it's not quite a sequel or Pokémon Legends: Z-A yet, but it's still kind of fun. Exclusive to mobile, the Pokémon Google Search game is all about searching about your favorite Pokémon from the original collection of 151 pocket monsters to add them to your digital Pokédex in a very cute way to amp up search traffic for the long-running monster-catching franchise, as if it wasn't already hugely popular! https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1908234188676862276 For the full list of the first 151 Pokémon, visit the Pokémon website to check out the official website's Pokédex, and then get ready to catch 'em all on your way to becoming a Pokémon-googling Master. How to catch Pokémon on Google Search Image by Destructoid This Pokémon game on Google Search is only available on mobile, so grab your iOS or Android device and get to Googling. But first, make sure you're signed in to a Google account so it can track your progress. If you're not signed in, the Pokémon you catch won't be tracked. Next, all you need to do is type in names of the first 151 Pokémon. I started with Pikachu, as you can see below. Over the top of your Google search in your phone's web browser, a Pokéball icon appears on the bottom right. Tap it, and the Pokémon you searched will appear, and then the Pokéball will be thrown at them to catch them like in Pokémon GO. This will begin your Pokémon-catching journey. It all begins with a starter Pokémon, even on Google. Screenshot by Destructoid Screenshot by Destructoid As you catch more and more Pokémon, you will earn Master Balls, with one earned at different intervals of number of Pokémon caught. You will earn a Master Ball at five, 20, 50, 100 and 150 Pokémon caught, and these Master Balls can be used to catch the five Legendary Pokémon from the original 151. These legendaries need to be caught in order, so this is when to use your Master Balls and which Pokémon to use them on: Five Pokémon: Articuno 20 Pokémon: Zapdos 50 Pokémon: Moltres 100 Pokémon: Mewtwo 150 Pokémon: Mew Once you catch all 151 Pokémon, who knows what could happen? Maybe your Google account will forever be tied to Pokémon Mastery? Stay tuned to see what happens next in this latest episode of Pokémon on Google, but be prepared to catch 'em all.
