Your birthday Pokémon

Porygon

No.137 · Virtual Pokémon

Normal

It has no discernible heartbeat and does not seem to draw breath, and yet it appears to function without issue. I cannot even begin to explain this utterly bizarre anomaly.

Also this date

Samurott

No.503 · Formidable Pokémon

Water

Hard of heart and deft of blade, this rare form of Samurott is a product of the Pokémon's evolution in the region of Hisui. Its turbulent blows crash into foes like ceaseless pounding waves.

Alcremie

No.869 · Cream Pokémon

Fairy

When Alcremie is content, the cream it secretes from its hands becomes sweeter and richer.

Why this Pokémon

May 16 is day 137 of the year on a leap-year calendar. Divided by 366 that leaves a remainder of 137, and every Pokédex number leaving the same remainder belongs to this date. The lowest of them, No.137, is the one this page leads with.

The straightforward reading — 27 July becomes No. 727 — breaks down in November, where the numbers run past 1025 and leave those birthdays empty. Cycling through 366 keeps every date filled.
