Useful tips for higher scores
- Watch for silhouette cues like ears, tails, wings, and body proportions
- Use type logic (e.g., common dual-types and typical color palettes)
- Remember evolution lines and baby/final-form size differences
- Note regional forms, Mega/alternate forms, and gender differences
- Learn signature features (markings, horns, crests, or unique accessories)
Quick context: why identification can be tricky
With hundreds of Pokémon across many generations, designs often share themes (animals, objects, myths), and some species intentionally echo earlier ones. Add alternate forms and regional variants, and careful observation becomes a real skill rather than pure memorization.
