2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise as an international video game and merchandise phenomenon. For the better part of two decades, Game Freak and the Pokémon Company have been entertaining millions of fans around the world with their seemingly endless supply of video games, TV shows, and other spin-offs and merchandise.
At the core of the series are the creatures themselves, the magical creatures known as Pokémon. These creatures come in all shapes and sizes, possessing different types of abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. These range from Pokémon that one could see on a daily basis, like Pidgey and Rattata, to actual legendary Pokémon that control the weather and the forces of nature.
As of this writing, there are over 800 individual Pokémon, each with its own unique look. Some Pokémon become so popular among fans that they transcend into other video games and into popular culture (e.g. Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard). But for every one of these, there are just as many -- if not more -- that don't get much love from fans.
Some people dislike some Pokémon designs so much that they think to themselves, "I can do better than that," and so these fans create new Pokémon themselves. Some of these designs have been so convincing and so realistic (at least, when discussing Pokémon anyway) that some fans fully believe these fan creations to be real Pokémon.
That's where this quiz comes in.
In each of the entries that follow, you'll be presented with an image of a Pokémon along with a description. Some of these will be based on data found in real games, while others will be completely fabricated. In the end, only a real Pokémon fan will be able to distinguish between the real Pokémon and the fake ones.

This Pokémon’s design is so simple and straightforward that it’s hard to tell whether or not it’s real. Introduced in the second generation of games, this Pokémon can't be found in the wild, but you can find its pre-evolution stage in the National Park. It's one of only five Pokémon introduced thus far that require the Sun Stone to evolve. Despite its innocent-looking appearance, this creature actually does boast a fairly impressive Special Attack stat, meaning it could actually do quite a bit of damage.

Rattata and Raticate were among the first Pokémon anyone had ever seen. Appearing early in both the TV shows and in the video games, the purple and tawny-colored rats became one of the most frequently seen Pokémon in the franchise’s early years. But not everyone has been on board with the rats’ designs and believe that they should’ve been created with a more realistic look. That’s why someone put together these alternate designs, with both Pokémon having black fur. Why they chose to give this version of Rattata a mustache remains a mystery.

Like many Pokémon, Arbok was bestowed with an Alolan Form in the newest generation of games. Playing into the theme of regional variation, this version of the classic purple snake is quite different and more menacing. Alolan Arbok has higher Defense than its original counterpart, and it also gets Poison Point as its second ability, making it a great Pokémon to use in the games as a counter to physical attackers. However, finding it is a bit difficult because it only appears at night in both of the newest games, and even then, neither it nor its pre-evolved form, Ekans, can be found that often.

Persian is probably the least ‘outlandish’ of all Pokémon in that its design is so simple and realistic that, with the exception of the jewel on its forehead, it almost looks like an anime drawing of a real animal. However, a different take on the same creature’s design goes in the opposite direction. This ‘version’ of Persian gives it a blackish-blue fur coat with a ridiculous round head. This makes it look less like a slightly modified animal and more like an over-the-top drawing that someone thought looked funny. Ironically, the creator of this image wrote that despite its design, this Persian is supposed to be both highly intelligent and incredibly haughty.

The Pokémon seen here is Weezing’s evolution, Choaking. First introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Choaking is far more dangerous than Weezing ever was. First, it gains a secondary Dark-typing, rendering it immune to Psychic-type attacks. This new combination gives Choaking three immunities (Poison, Psychic, and Ground, the latter coming from its Ability, Levitate). Second, Choaking gets an enormous boost in both HP and Special Defense, while dropping its base Speed. This turns Choaking into one of the most formidable tanks that’s to become available once Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are released.

Of all the drawings and videos of purported Pokémon circulating on the internet these days, this one takes the top prize for most ridiculous, bar none. The idea that a sandcastle, a temporary construction made by human hands, can come alive and develop sentience is beyond absurd (but hey, this is Pokémon, after all). After all, this is the same series that created living beings out of a Poké Ball, a magnet, a pile of sludge, a gear, a bunch of letters of the alphabet with eyes, a bell, a death mask, and a garbage bag, among others. So maybe... MAYBE... a sentient sandcastle isn't that farfetched of an idea.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Mawile is one of the most unfortunate Pokémon ever created. Despite having a unique look and a great typing (back when Steel-types were virtually indestructible and extremely dangerous), Mawile was still forgettable since its stats were so poor. So to try and redeem this poor creature for at least three generations’ worth of underuse and relegation to the PC box, Game Freak gave it both a Mega-Evolution and a secondary Fairy typing. However, neither of these helped it much, as it’s still incredibly weak, especially by Mega-Evolution standards.

Generation IV will be remembered as that generation that introduced a plethora of evolutions to older Pokémon that didn’t have one before. Among those new evolutions is Gallade, a second evolution of Kirlia, a Psychic-type introduced in Generation III. When you look at Gallade, there’s an obvious ‘gladiator’ theme to its appearance and style. But some people have considered Gallade’s design too bland and have thus created a different version of that same Pokémon, which is what you see in this image.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Flygon was a popular Pokémon when it first appeared in Generation III. Yet, even then, it suffered from an inferiority complex due to the existence of a stronger Dragon in Salamence. Although Salamence is still stronger because it has a Mega-Evolution of its own, Flygon still benefits from its own in a big way. Like all other Mega-Evolutions, Mega-Flygon gets an enormous stat boost. But Flygon benefits most because its boosts are all balanced. The most important of these, however, is its boost in both defenses, which goes a long way in lowering the damage it gets from Pokémon that exploit its weaknesses, especially that glaring Ice weakness.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Machamp has always been a popular Fighting-type Pokémon for many people. Unfortunately, its popularity dwindled as time progressed, especially with the addition of stronger and faster Fighting types like Conkeldurr and Lucario. However, Machamp has recently been blessed with a Mega-Evolution of its own that makes it far more dangerous than ever before. It gains the ability Limber, which prevents paralysis and is critical for any attack-oriented Pokémon. It also gains massive boosts to its Attack, Defense, and Special Defense, making it far more difficult to defeat than it is without mega-evolving. Of course, to use this mega-evolution, you need to find the item Machampinite, which you can only obtain after completing the post-game event in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

The most recent news release regarding Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon included data on new Mega-Evolutions. This announcement revealed that at least three of these Pokémon -- Mega-Delcatty, Mega-Xatu, and Mega-Mr. Mime -- were meant to be coded into Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. However, plans changed at the last minute, and they were replaced with Mega-Beedrill, Mega-Pidgeot, and Mega-Steelix, respectively. Now, however, these three (and two additional Megas) are set to make their return in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, with their Mega Stones becoming available only after you’ve obtained the National Pokédex and after you’ve completed the main storyline.

Clawitzer was introduced in Pokémon X and Y as one of the new Pokémon of the Kalos region. It’s a fairly solid Pokémon on its own, boasting impressive Special Attack and passable defenses at the cost of low Speed. However, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon introduced another new Mega Evolution, leading to the creation of Mega-Clawitzer. This new Mega gets major boosts in both of those defenses and an extra 20 to its base Special Attack. When combined, these three things make Mega-Clawitzer an extremely dangerous force.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The Pokémon seen here is the Alolan Form of Ariados, a Bug type introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver. The biggest tell that this is an Alolan Pokémon is the Tiki-mask design on its abdomen, which goes with the Hawaiian theme in these new games. It’s pre-evolution form, Spinarak, can be found all over the Lush Jungle area. But to obtain Ariados, it needs to evolve at the top of Mount Lanakila. Ariados-Alola has the Intimidate Ability, which is always useful against physical attackers. But its most unique feature is that Alolan Ariados has a unique Bug/Ice combination, which is something that no other Pokémon has.
Is this Pokémon real or take?
Looking at this image, it’s hard to tell if this alleged Pokémon is supposed to be a fish or a butterfly. Apparently, it’s a Water type, at least according to the website on which this image was found. It was reportedly introduced in Generation IV, in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum. However, that game didn’t have that much water in it compared to its predecessors, and I don't recall encountering this Pokémon while Surfing along any of the major water routes in any of those games.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
This creature, based on its description by its creator, is the Pokémon equivalent of Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama. It’s a timid arthropod with a permanent look of nervousness on its face and runs away in fear when confronted by sudden movements. The stats this Pokémon is purported to have reflect this as well; all of them are pitifully-low, with only its speed resembling anything close to an acceptable level. Ironically, its purported evolution is its exact opposite: a monstrous, menacing beast with massive claws that make it look badass.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
This is one of the most absurd pieces of Pokémon art ever conceived. The Pokémon drawn here appears to be a mishmash of various animals, much like the chimera of ancient mythology. This creature possesses a fish’s tail, what could be described as a dog’s hind legs and torso, insectoid forelegs, and a strange box-like structure concealing its face. Maybe this is supposed to be the Pokémon equivalent of the platypus, a real-world animal that’s so ridiculous that many people thought of it as a joke when they first saw it, since it had the various elements of multiple animals.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Bisharp is another Pokémon introduced in the fifth generation that's enjoyed success among regular players. It had an interesting Dark/Steel-type combination when it first debuted, but a lot has changed for its Alolan form. Alolan Bisharp swaps the Dark type for the Fighting one and gains two different abilities entirely. Moxie increases its Attack if it knocks out an opponent and Gooey, which lowers an opponent’s Speed stat if they touch Bisharp. Also, we’ve got to admit that Alolan-Bisharp looks much cooler, especially with the whole ‘tribal warrior’ look and feel to it.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Just as Blaziken was given a Mega-Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, Serperior gets an Alolan form in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. This new version of the green snake has a Grass/Fairy Type combination, and its primary ability is Flower Veil, which protects all Grass-types from lowered stats and status conditions. This makes Alolan-Serperior superior to its original form, except when the latter has access to Contrary, which is one of the rarest and most powerful abilities in the game.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Aerodactyl is one of the first ‘fossil Pokémon’ ever introduced. To get the original, you had to resurrect it from a fossil that was found later in the game. That same process continues in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as you can obtain a fossil that will revive the presumably extinct Aerodactyl. But if you do, the one you’ll obtain will be the Alolan form, which is different from the original one. This new one has a Dragon/Flying type combination, as opposed to the original’s Rock/Flying type. So even though it gets a cool-looking new form, it doesn’t lose that massive Ice weakness.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
In the real world, bats take on many different forms and sizes, depending on where they live. Crobat was one of the most popular Pokémon to arrive in the second generation and became a major improvement on its pre-evolutionary form, Golbat. But there’s a major difference between original Crobat and Alolan Crobat. Generation VII brought increased stats to many Pokémon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon do this again. This time, Alolan Crobat gets a boost in its speed (now making it base 140 instead of 130) and also benefits from higher defenses as well.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Now we’re getting into truly ridiculous territory when it comes to ideas for new forms. Diglett and Dugtrio were always among the most uninspiring Pokémon in terms of design. Well, whoever came up with this idea didn’t think that giving Dugtrio a more interesting evolution of its own was a good idea. Instead, the designer took the generic-looking Diglett and Dugtrio and gave both forms hair. According to the creator’s website, this growth in hair stems from volcanic activity in the Alola region of the seventh generation of games. So for all you people out there struggling with hair loss, the creators of this Pokémon have a solution for you: spend all of your time underground in an area laden with volcanic soil, and your hair will grow back… and with fabulous blonde coloring as well, apparently.

You remember the Pokémon Golem, right? The creature with a spherical boulder for a body, tiny arms and legs, and a tortoise-like head? Well someone thought that design was too simple and thought up what Golem should look like instead. This new take on Golem features the Pokémon growing enormous eyebrows and ridiculous facial hair, as well as a protrusion on its back that looks like a Taser. Surely, something so ridiculous and uninspiring couldn’t be the real thing, could it?
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The seventh generation’s games take place in an area that’s based on the Hawaiian Islands, so it makes sense that there’d be some references to Fire-types somewhere. Alolan Magmar is one such new Pokemon, boasting an interesting combination of Fire and Poison typing. This type change actually makes a lot of sense since original Magmar used a lot of smoke-based moves yet wasn’t actually a Poison type. It’s evolution, Magmortar, also gets the secondary Poison typing, and learns a lot of new and powerful Poison-type moves, making it the perfect counter to the now-widespread Fairy types.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The original Mantine was something of a forgettable Pokémon when it was first introduced in Pokémon Gold, Silver, & Crystal. Aside from an enormous Special Defense stat (which wasn’t that special anyway since it suffered from a massive double weakness to Electric-type attacks), it didn’t have much going for it. The same cannot be said of its new Alolan form, however, which has much more use in the context of battling. Alolan Mantine gets higher Defense than its Johto counterpart and also gets the ability Healer, which makes it a fantastic support Pokémon in double, triple, and rotation battles.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
There's something ironic about the design of the Pokémon in this picture. On one hand, design-wise, it’s nothing more than a multi-colored blob with a big mouth, tiny eyes, and vague protrusions that look like hands. One could be forgiven for thinking this was designed by some five-year-old who won a contest that allowed him or her to create a new Pokémon. On the other hand, the creator’s webpage describes this Pokémon and its behavior as being the result of exposure to chemicals and severe pollution. Who’d have ever thought that the things we throw out with wanton disregard for the environment would ever develop sentience and become living things?
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The seventh generation of games introduced several ‘regional variations’ of Pokémon, which plays off the real-world phenomenon of how the same species in different geographic areas will evolve and change over time. Here we have Alolan Seaking, which has noticeable differences from the original. This new Alolan Form has a Water/Poison combination and also gets its own Z Move: Neurotoxic Jab. That move is basically a stronger version of the Poison Jab move but with the added bonus being that if its opponent survives the move, it has a 50% chance of being hit with Toxic instead of regular poison.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The creature seen here is a new stationary legendary Pokémon that can only be encountered once the main storyline in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is completed. If you return to the Wela Volcano Park, a new area will open up for you to explore. To reach this hidden cave, you’ll have to use Tauros Charge to get past several large boulders, and then you’ll need to use Mudsdale Gallop to bypass an area covered in rocky terrain. Once you’ve done this, you’ll enter a large cave, and you’ll find this Legendary Poison/Dragon type awaiting you.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The creature seen here is a new ‘Roaming Legendary’ introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Encountering and capturing this elusive Psychic/Dark type follows a similar process as the one for the roaming legendary bird Pokémon in X and Y. At some point, you'll encounter this Pokémon at random while roaming the wilderness. It will then flee before you can even make a move. Then, you have to chase it across all four of the Alola islands. But unlike in previous generations, there's a bit of a distinct pattern with this one. Instead of moving about randomly after each encounter, this Pokémon will roam about randomly on the island on which you first encountered it. After meeting it twice, it will then go to another island, where you have to find it twice again. Once this is done on all four islands, it can be battled in the Vast Poni Canyon.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Looking at this image, you cannot help but wonder if it was some kind of joke to get someone to say ‘afro buffalo’ or something. This Pokémon couldn’t possibly be real given its simplistic design and obvious signature hairstyle. Everything about it looks amateurish and overly simple. Then again, Generation V was known for introducing more Pokémon than any other before or since, so it wouldn’t be surprising that the company either took a fan’s creation and made it their own or simply ran out of ideas during a time of intense creative drain.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
When Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire were released, the games put a considerable emphasis on weather elements over anything else. Everything from the different parts of the region, to each game’s respective Legendary, to the names and goals of the evil organizations were all centered on weather phenomena. To really hammer that point home, Game Freak created the first Pokémon whose physical appearance changed into different forms. This Pokémon, called Castform, changed its appearance based on which weather phenomenon was in play. Strangely, it doesn’t have a form for when a Sandstorm is in effect.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
This is one of the most ridiculous images of a Pokémon ever seen. For those of you who can remember, the first generation included a Grass/Psychic-type Pokémon named "Exeggutor." It was a pretty strong Pokémon that had good stats (barring Speed) and a solid type combination. But it got stronger once weather and abilities came into play because Exeggutor got the ability Chlorophyll, which doubled its speed in strong sunlight. Oddly, Exeggutor was one of several earlier Pokémon to get an Alolan form, which gives it a significantly longer neck (because it is, after all, basically a palm tree with a face). Oddly still, this new version of Exeggutor is also part Dragon type, which is at least partially useful because it eliminates the original Exeggutor’s crippling weakness to Bug-type moves.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
One of the most popular ‘family’ of Pokémon is that of the ‘Eeveelutions’, i.e. the different Pokémon that Eevee can evolve into based on different circumstances. The sixth generation of games brought that number up to a total of seven, one for each of the following Types: Fire, Water, Electric, Psychic, Dark, Grass, Ice, and Fairy. Now, an eighth Eeveelution will debut: Haizeon, the Flying-type Eeveelution. To obtain Haizeon, you must participate in a Sky Battle (a feature introduced in Generation VI), and Eevee must be in your party when this happens, and it must have high Happiness as well. Once it evolves, Haizeon becomes only the second Pokémon ever to be a pure Flying-type, the other being Tornadus.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The Pokémon seen here is a new addition to the franchise and a powerful foe in the actual games. It's only the second Pokémon to have the combination of Water and Steel types, making it a very versatile Pokémon. But unlike most Steel types, Hammerank is actually very fast, which makes it a formidable sweeper when you include its monstrous Attack stat. It’s clear that this Pokémon is meant to use physical attacks, as seen with its obvious design and base 15 Special Attack stat. Once Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are released, you can be sure the serious competitive players will be looking everywhere to find one of these beasts.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
This Pokémon might not look like much, but in the context of the video games in which it appears, it’s feared far and wide and is even called ‘the demon of the sea.' So how could a Pokémon that measures less than 25 centimeters long be so terrifying? Because of its ability, Schooling. When its HP is >25%, it will school with many more of its species, transforming into an enormous mass of hundreds that form a single, monstrous beast. Not only does this make this single entity more intimidating, but it also makes it significantly more powerful. Even the mighty Gyarados, one of the most terrifying Water-type Pokémon ever, is believed to fear this Pokémon when they school together.

These two Pokémon are among the newest batch to be part of the upcoming games, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. They can only be found in the icy caves of Mount Lanakila and are in most abundance near the Icy Rock, which is the spot that allows you to evolve Eevee into Glaceon. Both Frossil and Glacaurex are considered ‘fossil Pokémon’ and were presumed extinct. However, unlike other Fossil Pokémon, these two have been reported to be living in extreme isolation underneath the highest mountain of Alola for millennia. Frossil evolves into Glacaurex at level 40 and has impressive Attack and Defense stats.
Are these Pokémon real or fake?
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have done something that no ‘second set’ of games in a generation have ever done before: introduced entirely new Pokémon that weren’t in the first games of a generation. Though the sixth generation did something similar by introducing new Mega Evolutions that weren’t present in Pokémon X and Y, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon go one step further and add new ‘base’ Pokémon to the mix. Among the new Pokémon to be added are these three Ghost/Psychic-types, which can only be found in Hau’oli Cemetery after the Ultra Wormhole is opened for the first time.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The fifth generation of Pokémon games introduced more individual Pokémon than any other generation. In Pokémon Black and White, a staggering 159 new Pokémon were introduced, including a pure Grass type named Maractus, which is shaped like a cactus with a face, arms, and flower-covered protrusions for ears. Maractus was never considered a standout choice in the competitive environment, but its new evolution, Collactis, is. Only a male Maractus can evolve into Collactis once it reaches level 38, and when it does, it becomes a very dangerous threat with its enormous Attack and Defense stats.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Game Freak and The Pokémon Company have been criticized many times over the years for being lazy in some of their creature designs (although to be fair, some fan creations have also been lambasted for being lazy). The creature seen here is a prime example of that approach in action, as we have one of the most ridiculous concepts for a Pokémon ever created. It’s basically a mushroom with a Poké Ball design on its head, which really speaks volumes about a lack of creativity on the part of its creator.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
This Pokémon is one of the most unusual-looking creatures released in the seventh generation of games. From its physical description, it looks like a mongoose with a trench coat for fur. The way it walks and stands, especially with its hands behind its back, makes it look almost like a detective looking for clues. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, this Pokémon acts as one of the first ‘Totem Pokémon’ that you challenge, and despite looking like it isn’t menacing, it actually poses quite the challenge in the beginning stages of those games.
Are these Pokémon real or fake?
These two Pokémon are rather forgotten additions from the Third Generation of games, which was already heavy on Water Pokémon, to begin with. Both of them evolve from the same base Pokémon, and to obtain either of them, you need to trade that base Pokémon while it holds an item. To obtain the blue-colored Pokémon with the big mouth, you need an item called "the Deepseatooth," while to obtain the pink one, you need to give it an item called "the Deepseascale."
Is this Pokémon real or take?
This bizarre creature is exactly what it looks like: a living keychain (oddly enough, it isn’t a Ghost-type, which is what one would expect when an inanimate object becomes living). This creature, which must’ve been a poor joke, has a tiny head with a keyhole-shaped mouth, and according to its description by its creator, it jingles the keys on its ring to intimidate threats. In an even more bizarre twist, this supposed Pokémon doesn’t actually have the ability Levitate, even though it appears to be always floating.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
With the exceptions of Mega Evolutions, Arceus is the most powerful Pokémon in the entire game. It boasts a perfect 120 base stat in all six categories, which is higher than any non-mega-evolved Pokémon in the game. However, because several ‘Megas’ now surpass Arceus in terms of raw power once they Mega-evolve, Game Freak realized this flaw and fixed it when the first details surrounding Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were revealed. As a result, Arceus now gains what’s called the ‘Creator’s Forme’ when exposed to an item called "the Azure Flute" (which was also an event item used to summon Arceus in earlier games). Once exposed, Creator’s Forme Arceus becomes even stronger, with all of its stats, barring HP, increased from 120 each to 140 each.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
Gyarados is one of the most popular Pokémon from the original games. The monstrous Water-and-Flying type boasts an impressive Attack stat and well-balanced defenses, making it a formidable threat. But to make it more interesting, Game Freak granted Gyarados a Mega-Evolution in Generation VI. This new form boosts Gyarados’s best stats even further, and also gives it a truly spectacular Ability in Mold Breaker. However, its Speed stat remains the same, and it trades its Flying type for a Dark type, thus losing its valuable Ground immunity.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
This is yet another Mega-evolution of an existing Pokémon, with this one’s base form being introduced in Generation II. That Pokémon, which has an interesting combination of Bug and Fighting type, already had an impressive Attack stat. Now, with the Mega-evolution, this Pokémon’s attack reaches incredible levels. In fact, its Attack stat is so high that it surpasses that of all other Pokémon except for Mega-Mewtwo-X. That makes this Pokémon a truly dangerous force on the competitive battling scene, especially when you also take into account its excellent type coverage.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The Pokémon seen here is Mega-Medicham, a Pokémon whose existence has been called into question by many Pokémon fans. When the concept of Mega-evolutions was first released, the idea was that it would make existing Pokémon much stronger and thus more competitive among diehard fans. However, this one was confusing. Medicham at its base level had below-average stats, with its highest stat being Speed at base 80. Yet it was given a Mega-evolution, But even with that, its stats are disappointingly low, with only two stats reaching 100.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The Pokémon seen here is the Mega-Evolution of a third-generation Pokémon called "Relicanth." Just like its base form, Mega-Relicanth retains its Water-Rock type combination. But unlike its base form, Mega-Relicanth gains access to the Sheer Force ability, which increases the damage of its moves while removing any secondary effects. It also gains a substantial boost to its Attack and Defense, with the latter reaching a base level of 200 after it mega-evolves. However, its Special Attack and Special Defense stats remain the same.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
This Pokémon is actually the Mega-evolution of an existing Pokémon, Slowbro. But instead of having the shell biting on its tail, by mega-evolving, the Shellder on its tail becomes like a suit of armor for it instead. As a result, Slowbro experienced an enormous boost to its already-high Defense stat, making it one of the toughest Pokémon in the game to beat. Add to this the fact that it has access to the move Amnesia, which doubles its Special Defense stat, and you have a Pokémon that virtually cannot be destroyed because of its impressive bulk.
Is this Pokémon real or fake?
The Pokémon you see here is Typhlosion’s Mega-Evolution. Once you expose it to its Typhlosionite mega-stone, it becomes much stronger than the original. It’s Speed and Special Attack stats both get a massive boost, and it also gains more bulk in both its Defense and Special Defense (though not as much). It also gains the White Smoke ability, which prevents its stats from being lowered. However, it still remains a pure Fire type, unlike other Mega-evolutions that get a type change.
Are these Pokémon real or fake?
The three Pokémon seen here represent the evolution line for the new Water-type starters in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Because you’ll be starting on a different island than you did in the original Sun and Moon (which is a nod to two earlier games, Black 2 and White 2), you get different starters. These three Pokémon are all defense oriented, boasting higher HP and defensive stats than their Fire and Grass counterparts. However, the final stage gets a major Special Attack boost as well, making it a formidable opponent in battle even if it's a bit slow.
Are these Pokémon real or fake?
This strange-looking Pokémon was introduced in the fourth generation of games, Diamond and Pearl. It's a Bug-Type that can only be obtained by evolving a female pre-evolution stage at level 20. The reason there are different color schemes in this image is that this Pokémon takes on one of three different forms once it evolves. Each of these forms grants it a second typing, and that form is permanent upon evolution. The green one is a combination of Bug and Grass, the sandy-colored one is Bug and Ground, and the pink one is Bug and Steel.
