Rules & what counts
Gen 8 Pokémon Quiz — Galar & Hisui: Rules & What Counts
This quiz covers the 96 Pokémon of Generation 8: #0810 Grookey through #0905 Enamorus. That's Sword and Shield's Galar dex plus the batch Pokémon Legends: Arceus added from ancient Hisui.
It's really two rosters in one. Galar brings British flavor — a knighted duck, a tea set, a soccer-hooligan raccoon line — while the final seven answers (#0899 onward) are Hisuian newcomers like Wyrdeer, Kleavor, and Ursaluna. Players who skipped Legends: Arceus routinely stall at 89 out of 96, so that tail is where runs are won.
How to play
- Type names to reveal sprites — matching happens live as you finish each word.
- Apostrophes and periods are optional: "sirfetchd" and "mr rime" both count.
- The count-up timer starts with your first input; the run autosaves continuously.
- Who's That Pokémon? mode hides all 96 sprites for a recall-only challenge.
- Give Up ends the run and reveals your misses — check whether the Hisui seven got you.
What counts in this quiz
- All 96 species numbered #0810–#0905, spanning Sword/Shield and Legends: Arceus.
- Brand-new evolutions of old Pokémon count here even though their ancestors don't: Obstagoon, Perrserker, Cursola, Sirfetch'd, Mr. Rime, and Runerigus all hold new Gen 8 numbers.
- The Hisuian additions count: Wyrdeer, Kleavor, Ursaluna, Basculegion, Sneasler, Overqwil, and Enamorus close the range.
- Eternatus, the Crown Tundra legendaries, and Mythical Zarude are all answers.
What's not included — and why
- Galarian and Hisuian forms of older Pokémon (Galarian Ponyta, Hisuian Zoroark, and so on) aren't separate answers — regional variants share their species' original number.
- Gigantamax forms, Urshifu's two fighting styles, Zacian's Crowned Sword form, and Calyrex's rider fusions are all transformations of single answers.
Good to know
- Galar is Great Britain flipped upside down — its route map traces the island with London in the south rendered as Wyndon in the north.
- Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, and Arctovish are deliberately mismatched fossil chimeras — the in-game scientist restores the wrong halves together.
- Eternatus's Eternamax form is about 328 feet tall, the largest Pokémon ever depicted.
