If you decided to click on this quiz, we'd wager that you call yourself a bit of a Poké fan — at the very least, you probably have a passing interest in all things 'mon — so you're probably well aware of the anime's "Who's that Pokémon?" mid-episode quiz. Admit it, you even read the title in the show's energetic tone, didn't you?
Well, the series turns 30 this week, and with over 1,000 different Pokémon now to its name, we thought it was only right to make sure that you've been paying attention over the past three decades with a good old-fashioned guess the silhouette quiz of our own.
Below, you'll find the outlines of 25 different Pokémon from Generations 1-9, and four different options to put your Pokédex knowledge to the test. Let's get this show on the road!

easiest quiz i ever took. I got all of the monsters memorised, even the newer ones.
24/25 in 1 minute and 7 seconds, currently fourth place. I don't know how I messed up the Voltorb one at the end 😭. Definitely shows that I'm a Pokémon superfan though.
Missed a few simply because a couple were the newer ones...and some of them are just too similar so I had to randomly guess. (legendary lake trio, or Voltorb/Electrode. lol)
I put Browt for every answer, the only one I got wrong was the last one which was Browt as seen from above.
23/25 in 2:46, at the time of writing 7th place! I missed Sawk and Tandemaus(got it mixed up with Maushold) Legendary lake trio almost got me, I guessed the right one by PURE, UNDILUTED LUCK. Fun quiz, more like this plz.
25/25 and rank 14th out of 151, currently 4th in the leaderboard with a 01:33 time (glad it worked unlike last time) - great quiz as usual!
24/25
I'm a fraud.
21/25 I'm annoyed I didn't do better
I was expecting some Jigglypuff as seen from above shenanigans but nah, you guys made it too easy. 25/25 baby
You can see how the designs have been degrading since the 1st gen lol
I don't think I'd have done any better if they weren't shadows
Only got 9 right.😄
21/25, got hit with a couple of the newer gens since I’m not as into the games as I was a few years ago.
Still a pretty easy quiz in comparison to some of the other ones.
My whole experience with Pokémon has been like this: start playing the game --> enjoy it --> focus on capturing and expanding the pokedex --> beat the game --> forget 95% of Pokemon's names. Although I've played a bunch of games, I'm not even gonna try taking this quiz. That'd be humiliating
No problem whatsoever. I’ve seen the official art of all of these Pokémon so many times that I recognized all of them instantly.
4/25 and 2 of those were guessing. Oh well maybe next time
Only clicked to see how well I would do… got 4 of ‘em
Removed - trolling/baiting
I missed 3, 2 of them being from switch era pokemon I have yet to play. And then sawk and throh were always gonna confuse me lol
A pretty easy 25/25 for me, the only ones that I had to think about for a bit were the Tapus and Kangaskhan (it does kinda look like Nidoqueen in silhouette form!). Though I may have struggled to name Dondozo and Naclstack if I didn't have the options to choose from, I'm a bit rusty on some of the newer 'mon.
24/25 within 30 seconds. I wasn’t sure wether the tapu was called lele or fini.
Tapu Lele stumped me for a moment, but I still got a perfect score! And I'm in the top 20, so I did pretty well I think.
24/25, just got the tapus wrong, probably because i kind of swap the names because of all of them having tapu in their name
25 out of 25 Yeah I played pokemon for a while can ya tell?
I don’t normally like to rub it in when someone gets something wrong, but shoutout to the 2% of people who saw the picture of Delibird and answered Raichu.
I got 23/25. Tapu Lele and Voltorb threw me off.
I don't know many of the newer creatures, but I still got most answers right through process of elimination. 23/25. I'm pleased.
16 out of 25 for me. Not too bad for someone who isn't huge into Pokemon I guess. Some of my answers were lucky guesses.
I have the Pokémon type of autism so I naturally got 25/25
23/25 isn't bad given I haven't played since Black/White, and didn't know half of the last two Gens.
I got 7 right. Never was into Pokémon. Still not into Pokémon. I think Pokémon Quest on Wii U was the only Pokémon game I played (briefly) & it was boring.
20 out of 25. Embarrassing to have that many misses.
Fun quiz though! Keep 'em coming plz!
Damn Tapu Lele and Voltorb caught me out, oh well I'm happy with 23/25.
17 from 25 because there were some Pokemon I have never seen before especially from Gen 5 above.
Is that Detective-Pikachu image AI?
@Roger_Brazil Guys, we have a badass amongst us.
LMAO I was good til the end and hit electrode cause I thought it was the Hisuan form 😂
23/25 only god Azalf and Dondozo incorrect
@kevin74 Last I checked, there isn't a Wii U version of Pokémon Quest. Switch, Android, and iOS yes, but Wii U no...
(Myself ended up at 24/25, and the last question tripped me up...Interestingly, I thought that little deviation from the curve on the right side would easily rule out Voltorb...)
16/24
Considering I haven't ever played a Pokemon game, I'm rather impressed with myself.
24/25. Missed Wishiwashi out of all of them. For whatever reason, that one just wasn’t clocking. Got all the tricky ones like Voltorb, though!
6/25 never played a pokemonster in my life. 👑
25/25
Even now I recognize those critters.
A perfect score!
I will admit, the Tapu one kind of tripped me up, since I have trouble associating their names with the Pokémon themselves. I kinda had to choose the one that seemed to make the most sense, lol.
That last on also gave me trouble - I was stumped for longer than I care to admit - so I just "picked a 'mon and prayed" lol!
That last one is clearly Jigglypuff seen from above
25/25 in under a minute..... All this tells me is I need to start making room in my brain for other topics...
@Gatorclops What could possibly be more useful knowledge than identifying Pokemon names?
Well, identifying Pokemon cries, of course!
...Or possibly Pokemon heights and weights.
Got 18 out of 25
And I guessed on a lot of them!
17/25. Not bad for a guy who's never played a Pokemon game past Gen 2.
11 out of 25. Goes to show how behind I am with quite a few of the Pokémon, especially the newer ones.
23/25.
Because of course I know nothing about the Tapus.
I got like two right. Pokemon has never been my jam despite trying to force myself to like it.
@TheXReturns my low point was coming across a youtube video where the thumbnail was a Pokemons stats for a quiz show. And i looked at it for 2 seconds and went "oh those are Wailords stats".
I coulda gone to med school
8/25
Not bad for somebody that’s only player Pokemon Blue 25 years ago haha
I wasn't paying attention to the tails 😕
If you wanted to be really mean you could have thrown Silcoon or Cascoon in.
@PtM snif...snif, I will be calling my mom...let my pokemon in peace
@PtM Nope. https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Detective_Pikachu_artwork_1.png#/media/File:Detective_Pikachu_artwork_1.png
I got 13 right. That is honestly better than I expected since I haven't paid attention to Pokémon in years. A good chunk of those were guesses though.
Full marks!
That's what happens when your autism chooses Pokemon as your special interest!
24 out of 25. Question 24 got me, as for whatever reason, their silhouettes / names get all jumbled up in my head.
I'm a bit of a newcomer and must have no more than about 100 hours clocked in the Pokémon universe so far (majority split across Legends Arceus, Violet and Art Academy, with another 10-20 in Yellow and Y) so a lot of these were completely new to me, but try me again on the 35th Anniversary and I'll hope to at least double my paltry score of 9.
Thank you for the quiz. I do love Pokémon and mourn the lost years I could have had loving the series. I wanna be ...
Very interested to know how much time goes into playing/watching/reading Pokémon to be able score 25 in a minute. And does it mostly come from just playing, or do people just study the dex for the sake of it? I like browsing my dex, but I haven't taken much of it in yet.
@HammerKirby Thank you!
25/25, only one I delayed on was 8. Couldn't remember which was which for a moment!
coming in 16th after a few days was pretty sweet, only sat on that tandemaus one for a little too long
Having over 1500 hours in the series finally paid off!
also thank you for not including any Jigglypuffs seen from above
