Which type is super effective against Fire?
Grass
Dragon
Water
Electric
Water-type moves deal double damage against Fire-type Pokémon, making them super effective according to the type chart. This relationship is fundamental to understanding type matchups in battles. Fire is weak to Water because water extinguishes fire, both thematically and mechanically.
Who is the main playable character in Pokémon Red and Blue?
Red
Blue
Leaf
Ash
Red is the default name of the main protagonist in Pokémon Red and Blue, as established in the original Generation I games. He embarks on a journey to become the Pokémon Champion of Kanto. Blue is his rival, while Ash is the anime protagonist and Leaf appears later in FireRed and LeafGreen.
Which Pokémon evolves into Pidgeot?
Fearow
Spearow
Pidgeotto
Pidgey
Pidgeotto evolves into Pidgeot starting at level 36 in the main series Pokémon games. Pidgey is the unevolved form of Pidgeotto, while Spearow and Fearow are separate species. This evolutionary line is iconic to early Kanto gameplay.
What item is used to catch wild Pokémon?
Potion
Poké Ball
Great Ball
Revive
The standard Poké Ball is the basic item used to catch wild Pokémon in the games. While Great Balls and other variants offer higher catch rates, the standard Poké Ball is most commonly associated with capturing wild Pokémon. Potions restore HP, and Revives bring fainted Pokémon back.
Which type is immune to Electric-type moves?
Rock
Ghost
Ground
Dark
Ground-type Pokémon are completely immune to Electric-type moves, meaning they take no damage from them. This immunity is a key strategic consideration in competitive battles. Rock, Ghost, and Dark types do not share this immunity.
Which of these Pokémon is a Water-type?
Pikachu
Charmander
Squirtle
Bulbasaur
Squirtle is one of the three original starter Pokémon in Generation I and is a pure Water-type. Pikachu is Electric-type, Bulbasaur is Grass/Poison, and Charmander is Fire-type. Recognizing starter types is fundamental in early gameplay.
Who is the Pewter City Gym Leader in the Kanto region?
Erika
Lt. Surge
Misty
Brock
Brock is the Rock-type Gym Leader of Pewter City in the Kanto region, specializing in Rock-type Pokémon. Misty leads Cerulean City, Lt. Surge leads Vermilion City, and Erika leads Celadon City. Defeating Brock earns trainers the Boulder Badge.
How many Gym Badges must a trainer collect to challenge the Elite Four in Kanto?
6
7
8
5
In the Kanto region, trainers must collect all eight Gym Badges to gain entry to the Indigo Plateau and challenge the Elite Four. Each badge represents victory over one of the eight Gym Leaders. Failing to present all eight prevents access to the final battle.
Which Ability prevents a Pokémon from receiving critical hits?
Keen Eye
Sturdy
Shell Armor
Battle Armor
Shell Armor blocks all critical hits against the Pokémon holding it, ensuring that it never takes increased damage from critical strikes. Battle Armor also prevents critical hits but is found on different species. Keen Eye and Sturdy do not offer this protection.
What is the base power of Thunderbolt in the main series games?
120
100
90
80
Thunderbolt has a base power of 90 in the main series, making it a reliable special Electric-type attack. It balances power with accuracy and a chance to paralyze the target. The move was originally 95 in Generation I but was standardized to 90 starting in Generation II.
Which held item boosts the power of Fire-type moves?
Choice Scarf
Metal Coat
Charcoal
Mystic Water
Charcoal increases the power of Fire-type moves by 20%, making it a popular choice for Fire-type attackers. Mystic Water does the same for Water-type moves, and Metal Coat boosts Steel-type moves. Choice Scarf raises Speed but locks the user into one move.
Which move always goes first, ignoring Speed, except against priority moves of equal or higher priority?
Quick Attack
Extreme Speed
Mach Punch
Aqua Jet
Extreme Speed has a priority of +2, allowing it to out-speed all +1 priority moves like Quick Attack and Aqua Jet. It is one of the only moves in the main series with such high priority. This makes it very useful for striking first, even against faster opponents.
Which Ability grants immunity to paralysis?
Synchronize
Vital Spirit
Quick Feet
Limber
Limber prevents the holder from being affected by paralysis, offering full immunity to that status condition. Synchronize passes status conditions to opponents, Vital Spirit prevents sleep, and Quick Feet boosts Speed when the holder is statused but does not prevent paralysis.
In competitive Pokémon, what does 'STAB' stand for?
Single Type Attack Bonus
Same Type Attack Benefits
Strong Type Attack Bonus
Same Type Attack Bonus
STAB means Same Type Attack Bonus, referring to the 1.5× damage modifier applied when a Pokémon uses a move that matches one of its own types. It’s fundamental to move selection and team building in competitive play. Misidentifying STAB can lead to suboptimal damage output.
What metric represents a Pokémon's hidden potential determined by IVs?
Base Stat
Nature
Individual Value
Effort Value
Individual Values (IVs) are hidden stats ranging from 0 to 31 that determine a Pokémon’s innate potential in each stat. Base Stats are species-defined values, Effort Values (EVs) are gained via training, and Nature modifies stats by 10%. IVs cannot be changed once the Pokémon is encountered or hatched.
Which Nature increases Special Attack but decreases Attack?
Adamant
Timid
Bold
Modest
Modest nature boosts Special Attack by 10% while decreasing Attack by 10%, making it ideal for special attackers. Adamant raises Attack at the cost of Special Attack, Bold raises Defense at the cost of Attack, and Timid raises Speed at the cost of Attack. Choosing the correct nature is crucial for maximizing a Pokémon's role.
Which move changes its type based on the Plate held by Arceus?
Judgment
Multi-Attack
Bolt Strike
Techno Blast
Judgment is Arceus’s signature move, whose type matches the Plate that Arceus is holding. Multi-Attack works similarly for Silvally with Memories, Techno Blast for Genesect, and Bolt Strike is exclusive to Zekrom. Understanding these signature mechanics is key for strategic diversity.
What is the effect of the held item Choice Scarf?
Raises Speed by 50% but locks the user into one move
Boosts special moves at cost
Doubles Speed until hit
Increases critical hit ratio
Choice Scarf increases the holder's Speed by 50%, allowing it to outspeed many threats, but locks the Pokémon into using only the first move it selects until it switches out. This trade-off is widely used for revenge-killing in competitive play. Choosing the right opener is essential when using Choice items.
How many Effort Values (EVs) does a Pokémon need to gain one additional stat point at level 100?
8
16
4
1
At level 100, every 4 EVs invested in a stat yields an additional point to that stat. This linear relationship allows trainers to precisely control stat growth through EV training. At lower levels, the EV-to-stat ratio is different, but level 100 is the standard for these calculations.
Which type duo is 4× weak to Stealth Rock entry hazards?
Water/Fairy
Bug/Fire
Flying/Steel
Fire/Rock
Stealth Rock deals damage based on Rock-type weaknesses. A Bug/Fire-type Pokémon is doubly weak to Rock, resulting in 4× damage upon entry. No other standard dual type shares this double Rock weakness. This makes Pokémon like Volcarona particularly vulnerable.
Which move ignores protection moves like Protect and Detect?
Feint
Sucker Punch
Shadow Force
Hyperspace Fury
Feint breaks through moves like Protect and Detect, hitting opponents that attempt to shield themselves. It also hits any Pokémon using King's Shield. Shadow Force and Hyperspace Fury bypass Protect in some cases, but Feint is the signature move designed specifically to defeat protection.
Which held item increases the holder's critical hit ratio?
King’s Rock
Scope Lens
Razor Fang
Expert Belt
Scope Lens raises the holder's critical hit ratio by one stage, increasing the chance that its moves will land critical hits. King's Rock and Razor Fang can cause flinches but do not boost the critical hit ratio directly. Expert Belt boosts damage of super-effective moves.
At level 50, how many Effort Values are required to increase one stat by one point?
8
4
12
16
The formula for stats includes EVs divided by 4, multiplied by Level/100. At level 50, you need 8 EVs to contribute one additional stat point (400/50=8). This differs from level 100, where only 4 EVs are required. Accurate EV investment is crucial in high-level competitive play.
How many possible Hidden Power types can a Pokémon have?
15
14
16
17
Hidden Power can manifest in 16 different types (all except Normal and Fairy), determined by a Pokémon’s IV combination. This mechanic adds depth to breeding and team-building strategies. Fans use IV calculators to predict and manipulate Hidden Power types.
Which move has its base power doubled when the target is affected by a status condition?
Venoshock
Hex
Facade
Smelling Salt
Hex normally has a base power of 65 but doubles to 130 when the target is afflicted with any status condition (burn, freeze, paralysis, poison, sleep). This makes Hex exceptionally effective for punishing statused opponents. Venoshock doubles only when the target is poisoned.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Type Matchups Mastery -

    Recalling the 18×18 type chart is crucial: Fire → Grass, Grass → Water, Water → Fire illustrates the core loop. Use the mnemonic "FGW" and consult the official Pokémon website for the complete matrix. Regular drills on type advantages sharpen your battle predictions and counters.

  2. STAB & Damage Formula -

    Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB) boosts matching-type moves by 1.5× according to the official damage formula. Master the full calculation - [(2 × Level / 5 + 2) × Power × Attack / Defense ÷ 50 + 2] × Modifiers - so you can forecast damage precisely. Remember that critical hits, weather effects, and held items further tweak these results.

  3. EVs & IVs Optimization -

    Individual Values (IVs) range from 0 - 31 and define each Pokémon's natural potential, while Effort Values (EVs) (max 252 per stat) shape growth in specific areas. Official mechanics use the formula ((Base × 2 + IV + EV/4) × Level/100 + 5) × Nature to calculate stats, as detailed on Bulbapedia and Smogon. Use the "4-to-1 rule" - 4 EVs for +1 stat point at level 100 - to simplify your training plan.

  4. Balanced Team Composition -

    Assigning distinct roles - sweepers, walls, support, and pivots - follows official VGC principles and maximizes synergy. Combining offensive threats with defensive anchors and hazard setters enhances flexibility. Analyze top teams on Smogon University to see these roles in action and tailor them to your playstyle.

  5. Field Control & Entry Hazards -

    Entry hazards like Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes chip away at foes upon switching, influencing tempo, as outlined in official battle mechanics. Learn to deploy or remove hazards with moves like Rapid Spin, Defog, or Magic Bounce for strategic advantage. Mastery of hazard stacking and cleanup can tilt tight matches in your favor.
