WHY IT'S ADDICTIVE
A two-second quiz with a decade of rosters
Silhouette recognition is the fastest way to test real Pokédex knowledge: no moves, no stats, just shapes you have seen a thousand times in the anime's eyecatch. Because the pool spans Generations 1–9, casual fans can stay in Gen 1 while completionists test all 1,025 species at once.
Missed one? Every reveal links straight to that Pokémon's page with stats, evolutions, and Shiny artwork, so the game doubles as a study tool.
