Four names, one impostor — Pokédex edition. Rounds ask which of these is NOT a Gen 1 Pokémon, NOT a Water-type, NOT a Legendary, NOT a starter, NOT a real Eeveelution — and, hardest of all, which of these is NOT a real Pokémon at all.
The fakes are built to sting: made-up names that follow real naming logic, pseudo-legendaries that everyone assumes are Legendary, and the Light-type that fans have been wrongly expecting since 1996. Each round ends with the one-line truth.
How to play
Read the category, then tap the Pokémon (or name, or type) that does NOT belong.
One pick per round; the odd one out lights up when the round resolves, right or wrong.
Every round closes with a short explanation — which generation, which type, or why the name is fake.
The timer counts up from your first pick and only matters for your own best.
"Review rounds" on the results screen replays all questions with answers and explanations.
What counts in this quiz
10 rounds per run drawn from a wider pool of categories, reshuffled each play.
Facts follow the mainline games: generation of debut, current type chart (18 types), official starter trios, and the official Legendary roster.
One point per impostor caught; a perfect run is 10/10.
What's not included — and why
No ambiguous picks — Pikachu and Eevee never appear in the starter round precisely because Yellow and Let's Go make them arguable.
Mythical-vs-Legendary edge cases (like Mew) are left out of the Legendary round entirely.
Good to know
The 'pseudo-legendary' label is fan shorthand for ordinary Pokémon whose base stats total exactly 600 — Dragonite was the first.
Fairy is the newest type, added in Generation 6 (2013) largely to rein in Dragon-types.
Sylveon was revealed months before its type was announced — the Fairy type itself was still a secret.
