Cheat Sheet
- Type Effectiveness and Mnemonic -
The Pokémon type-effectiveness chart defines how attack types interact with defending Pokémon. According to Pokémon.com's Official Type Guide, super-effective attacks deal 2× damage, not very effective attacks deal ½×, and immunities result in 0×. Use the mnemonic "F-W-G" (Fire beats Grass, Water beats Fire, Grass beats Water) to recall the core trio interactions quickly.
- Generational Starter Acronym -
Each Pokémon generation introduces three region-specific starter Pokémon aligned to Grass, Fire, and Water types. Nintendo's Official Pokémon Guide (source: Pokémon.com) suggests using the acronym "BCT-TTM-TCP" to group the first four generation starters: Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, Treecko/Torchic/Mudkip, Turtwig/Chimchar/Piplup. This pattern helps you breeze through questions on regional lineups in trivia contests.
- Battle Damage Formula -
Understanding the damage formula can give you an edge on questions about move power, STAB, and effectiveness. The classic Gen I - V equation (source: Bulbapedia) is Damage = ((((2×Level/5+2)×Power×Attack/Defense)/50)+2)×Modifier, where Modifier includes STAB (1.5 if move matches Pokémon's type), type effectiveness, and a random 0.85 - 1.00 factor. For example, a Level 50 Charizard using Flamethrower (Power 90) against Venusaur (Sp. Def 100) showcases how each component shifts final damage.
- Legendary Trio Groupings -
Legendary Pokémon often appear in thematic trios each generation, as cataloged in the Official Pokédex on Pokémon.com. Use the mnemonic "Old Birds, Roaring Beasts, Massive Titans, Lost Lakes" to remember Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres (Gen 1), Raikou/Entei/Suicune (Gen 2), Regirock/Regice/Registeel (Gen 3), and Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf (Gen 4). This grouping strategy helps you recall key legendary sets under quiz pressure.
- Evolutionary Methods Mnemonic -
Pokémon can evolve through various methods beyond simple leveling, including Evolution Stones, Trading, Friendship, specific Locations, and Move-based triggers. The Official Pokémon Strategy Guide (source: Pokémon.com) outlines these five core mechanisms, summarized by the mnemonic "STFLM": Stone, Trade, Friendship, Location, Move. Knowing examples like Golbat→Crobat (Friendship) or Inkay (inverted hold + level-up) ensures you ace evolution method trivia.
