Answers to the hardest Pokemon quiz you've ever taken

Once you've gotten your results and shared them with your friends, keep on scrolling for explanations and some fun facts. You'll be sure to learn a thing or two along the way. Beware that the section below will contain spoilers for the Pokemon Quiz.

1. Pokemon Let's Go lets us Mega Evolve but limits the Pokemon to only the first 151 original pocket monsters.

2. Zoroark, specifically the Hisuian variant, is both Ghost and Normal, making it immune to Ghost.

3. Ironically, the only Pokemon on the list that can naturally learn the move Surf is Slowpoke.

4. Simipour holds the distinction of being the only non-starting creature that can learn the otherwise starter-exclusive ability Torrent.

5. In Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Pokemon can mega evolve during beauty contests.

6. Stakataka is terribly slow. Its base speed is a mere 13.

7. In Ruby and Sapphire, you can only obtain Snorlax by trading with another game like Fire Red or Leaf Green.

8. Rollout doubles in power every time it is successfully used. Starting at a base of 30, it then doubles each time with a maximum output of 480. This is doubled if you use Defense Curl.

9. Me First is the only non-damaging status move that can be used when holding an Assault Vest.

10. In Ruby and Sapphire, the player is moving from their home in the Johto region. It's also the only game in the series where the player's father is still around.

The Pokemon franchise has enough lore and content to keep you entertained for hours. The main series games are my personal favorites, but the anime, spinoffs, and other media are amazing as well.
