Notes[]
- This entry has more content compared to the rest of the Pretty Cure Gakken Mooks and includes two extras, probably due to Happiness Charge Pretty Cure! being Pretty Cure's 10th anniversary.
- On the other hand, Ribbon and Glasan only received a small section, which is at odds with the rest of the entries, as the mascots usually have a whole page dedicated to themselves.
- In both villain sections (for the profiles and the special messages), Oresky is placed last.
