Looks like Professor Oak just gave you access to his Pokemon Box, and you know what that means - it's time to venture into the tall grass one more time, and see what sort of mythical creatures we bump into. Better stop by the Mart first, since we'll need Pokeballs a-plenty. Oak's Box has a lot of storage, and we'll be taking up as much of it as we can today.
In this challenge, don't think that you'll only be running into common Pokemon, like Sentret and Rattata. There will be adorable inclusions, for sure, but the bulk of this quiz will be taken by the very strongest and very best Pokemon there are. Some translate their strength to brute force, others rely on the nuances of their abilities to win.
Depending on the type of Pokemon you go for, we'll be able to determine what sort of trainer you are. If you're curious about that sort of thing, you need only look forward. At the end of this quiz will be a certified assessment of what kind of trainer you are, and you can take that with you back to Oak's lab. Before that, let's build that Pokemon Box of yours.
Machamp or Venusaur?
Your first choice is a hard one, indeed. Both Machamp and Venusaur offer totally different battling styles, each coming in handy during different scenarios. If you need brute strength, Machamp is the pick, whereas Venusaur is a versatile tank. Which will you choose?
Clefairy or Jigglypuff?
After that strenuous decision, it's time to relax for a second with these two puffs from the first generation. They're both un-evolved right now, but when presented with a Moon Stone, each of these creatures will evolve into formidable beasts. Which will you pick?
Arbok or Raichu?
Arbok is coming out of the bushes to see what's up, and Raichu isn't far behind. The former is a key Team Rocket pick, while the latter is the fully evolved form of Ash's best friend. Depending on what type of trainer you are, you'll likely pick one over the other.
Tyranitar or Blissey?
Now, here's a question that will really help us sort out what kind of trainer you are. After all, these two Pokemon's roles couldn't be more different; Tyranitar is a strong brute who simply attacks what's in front of it, while Blissey never attacks, preferring to absorb hits and heal team members instead.
Ludicolo or Manectric?
Ludicolo is springing up, ready to say hi to you. Meanwhile, Manectric is angry for some reason, as it always is. Since they're so cool, it would be awesome if you can pick both these Pokemon, but you know you can't. Choose one, and we'll move on to the next showdown.
Salamence or Metagross?
Salamence is the raging dragon of the skies, watching over the world of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire to ensure that no funny business is afoot. Meanwhile, Metagross crawls through the floor, waiting for the day that Salamence will descend. Which of these guys would you catch?
Blaziken or Typhlosion?
Here are two Fire type starters that took the mantel from dear Charizard. Both Blaziken and Typhlosion have a lot to offer a worthy trainer, though unfortunately you can only pick one here. If you're having trouble, keep in mind Blaziken's Speed Boost ability. You're welcome.
Sandlash or Yanma?
Sandlash looks a little burned up. Maybe it got in the middle of that Blaziken - Typhlosion scuffle. Anyway, it looks happy regardless, and Yanma is opposing it here. Would you rather choose the mammalian beast of the underground, or the supersonic bug of the skies?
Weepinbell or Lickitung?
Here's a battle of two total doofus looking Pokemon: Weepinbell and Lickitung. Sure, they're both unevolved right now, but keep in mind that you can train them to unlock their full potential in no time at all. Or, you can keep them in their current form. Either way, you'll have to choose now.
Mothim or Pidgeotto?
Look above, and you'll see one of the most epic confrontations ever: Mothim versus Pidgeotto. Initially, it seems as though Pidgeotto has the typing advantage, but don't let that fool you. Mothim is one of the most cunning bugs out there, and he means business today.
Darkrai or Jirachi?
Now that that's over, we'd like to be able to give you a little break here, but that won't be possible since we now have a battle between two legendary Pokemon. Darkrai is charging up a powerful Shadow Ball, while Jirachi is offering him an apple, trying to be nice.
Misdreavus or Donphan?
Let's step back for a moment, and revisit the second generation of the Pokemon games. You might fondly remember these two little critters, who served as some of the most famous faces of the games. Between Misdreavus and Donphan, which will you choose?
Milotic or Swellow?
Milotic can take almost any hit thrown at it, but it looks like Swellow either forgot about that, or doesn't care at all. Either way, it looks like these two Pokemon really want to be in your box, so which will it be? Will you choose the aquatic Milotic or the soaring Swellow?
Absol or Klefki?
Absol and Klefki are two vastly different Pokemon who take on different roles in battle. Absol is best suited as a glass cannon while Klefki is more of a tank who can take advantage of its formidable Prankster ability. Both these Pokemon are cool, for sure, but you can only pick one.
Mewtwo or Dragonite?
Mewtwo and Dragonite are two of the more powerful Pokemon from Red and Blue, so we're sure you'll have no trouble remembering either of them. And, you might not have any trouble choosing, if you're anything like us. Let's see if you are - which Pokemon will you pick?
Dusclops or Altaria?
Dusclops and Altaria are two solid Pokemon from the third generation of the games, and each of them wants to be in your Box equally. However, there's only one slot available here, so you'll have to make it count. Will you choose the bulky phantom or the flying fable?
Tyrantrum or Talonflame?
Tyrantrum is a horrifying Pokemon who will utterly thwomp whatever Pokemon is standing in front of it. It's opposing Talonflame here, one of the most powerful Pokemon introduced in X and Y. Since you can only add one 'mon to your box, better go ahead and do that now.
Dhelmise or Magearna?
Dhelmise may very well be your demise if you underestimate it. Sure, this Pokemon might be slow, but its attack stat is enormous, and it has a great typing and movepool to take advantage of. Thing is, it could take 4 Dhelmises to take advantage of one Magearna.
Eevee or Pikachu?
Time to take a trip back to Kanto, where we first met these two lovely Pokemon mascots. On the one hand we have Eevee, who evolves into a whole assortment of Pokemon depending on which Evolution Stone it's presented with. Then there's Pikachu, who is simply the best.
Marshadow or Lugia?
In a battle, these two uber Pokemon might be quite evenly matched, each of them able to dish out super effective attacks that the other one can take on the cheek. However, this isn't a battle - these two are vying for a spot in your Box. Which will you give it to?
Meganium or Slowking?
Meganium is the fully evolved form of your Grass type starter in Pokemon Gold and Silver. All told, it's a worthy choice to make. Up against it we have Slowking, a variation of Slowbro that Slowpoke can potentially evolve into. Which of these 'mons will you choose?
Dodrio or Luxray?
Dodrio is strutting its stuff, ready to jump into your Pokemon box once you catch it. It seems confident; maybe it's not aware of the Luxray in the corner, waiting to tackle it if it manages to succeed. Let's get it going - which of these Pokemon will be seeing your Box?
Clamperl or Shedinja?
Clamperl might be a weak Pokemon upon first viewing, but its special attack stat can actually be doubled when it holds the right item, making it a truly deadly threat. However, even with that, it wouldn't be able to do a thing to Shedinja if it didn't have a super effective move.
Mightyena or Forretress?
Mightyena might be quite strong, but it won't be able to penetrate Forretress' bulk unless it has a Fire type move like Fire Fang. Forretresss is a great, useful tank, though it doesn't have much going for it in terms of offense. Between these two 'mons, which will you choose?
Porygon or Shelgon?
It's a battle of the 'gon 'mons, with Porygon going up against Shelgon. In case Shelgon looks a little unimpressive to you, keep in mind that it evolves into the formidable Salamence. Porygon's evolutions aren't too shabby, either. Which Pokemon will you choose?
Purugly or Teddiursa?
Purugly and Teddiursa have shown up out of the tall grass to see what's up, and you're the first trainer they've encountered. It's a tough choice, that's for sure, but no one can make it except you. Between Purugly and Teddiursa, which Pokemon will you choose?
Sceptile or Ambipom?
Both Sceptile and Ambipom carry themselves entirely differently in battle, and there's no telling which Pokemon fulfills their role better. At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference and battling style. With that in mind, which Pokemon do you pick?
Electivire or Lucario?
Electivire is mad, and it's unleashing all of its electric energy toward Lucario. It better hope it doesn't get Lucario mad in turn, since that won't bode well for anyone. As these two Pokemon duke it out, pay attention to their styles, and decide which you'll be taking home.
Rayquaza or Mew?
Rayquaza might not be quite as famous a Pokemon as Mew, but don't let that fool you. All it takes is one look at this Dragon's stats to see what it's truly capable of. Meanwhile, Mewtwo is the classic, mysterious legendary Pokemon we all know and love. What's your pick?
Venomoth or Vanilluxe?
Here we see two Pokemon from two vastly different regions and generations competing in the wild. Only one of them can get that spot in your box, and everyone knows it. If you like cunning strategy, you might go for Venomoth. Or if you prefer ice cream, you might choose Vanilluxe.
Primeape or Farfetch'd?
We're down to the final 5 Pokemon of this quiz. It's been an incredible journey thus far, but we're not through quite yet. Here's another confrontation between two Pokemon from the first generation, for old time's sake. Primeape is angry, and Farfetch'd is nonchalant - which is your pick?
Sneasel or Skarmory?
From the first generation, we now travel to the second once more. It's a faceoff between Sneasel and Skarmory, and not one of them is letting up. Did you have a favorite between these two back in Pokemon Silver and Gold? Let's see which Pokemon you'll pick.
Exploud or Whimsicott?
Continuing down the generational line, we have Exploud paired with Whimsicott. In battle, Exploud is a nuke who has one insanely strong attack that it can unleash quite blindly. Whimsicott requires a little more finesse in order to use it properly. Which is your pick?
Zekrom or Genesect?
Zekrom is sure to shock you with its Electric type powers, though let's not forget how interesting and versatile Genesect can be. These Pokemon are both in the uber tier, meaning they're both crazy strong. Is strength the only thing that matters? Which Pokemon do you choose?
Yveltal or Xerneas?
We're at the end of this quiz, and it's about time for us to reveal what kind of trainer you are. Before we do that, let's have you answer this last one. Between the Dark aura of Yveltal and the Fairy powers of Xerneas, which Pokemon will you pick? Let's find out.
