To ace these quiz questions, you’ll need to be a bona fide Pokemon master.

Pokemon is one of the most cherished gaming franchises globally. It boasts a highly successful video game series, a colossal trading card game that has enthusiasts scrambling for coveted cards, and an anime series that has won millions of hearts. Today (February 27th) marks National Pokemon Day, a day when Pokemon aficionados worldwide unite to celebrate everything they adore about the franchise that revolutionised the gaming world.

It’s also an ideal opportunity to gauge your knowledge of Pokemon. Do you possess the skills to be a Pokemon master, or would you struggle to train your starter Pokemon sufficiently to navigate the tall grass leading out of your hometown? Pokedex Fillers on TikTok have crafted a devilishly challenging quiz designed to distinguish the true experts from the pretenders. You can check out the questions below.

The video explains that you should ideally take just eight seconds to answer each of the ten questions. If you watch the clip, the answer is revealed once the eight seconds elapse, so you do need to respond promptly. However, if you read the questions below and proceed to the answers afterwards, you can afford to take your time slightly.
