Player stats: which Pokémon quiz is the hardest?

Which Pokémon quiz is truly the hardest? Rather than argue about it, Pokequizz measures it. This page aggregates the games actually played on the site and turns them into numbers nobody else can give you: each quiz's win rate, the average number of tries, and above all the Pokémon that trip up the most players.

The tables below are recomputed regularly from our game database. You might spot the Pokémon that cost you your streak, and find out whether you were the only one to fall for it.

Where these numbers come from

Every classic game played by a signed-in player (Common or Replay mode) is recorded with its outcome: win or loss, number of tries used and the day's mystery Pokémon. The tables on this page are aggregates computed over all of these games, across all players.

No individual data is published: there is no way to know who missed what. We count, we average, and that is all. The numbers are refreshed every Sunday; the date of the last computation is shown under the table heading.

How to read the quiz ranking

Two columns tell two different stories:

  • The win rate measures raw difficulty: the share of games that end in a win. The lower it is, the more unforgiving the quiz.
  • The average tries measure resistance: a quiz can be won often but only at the last gasp, on the fifth or sixth try. That is typical of deduction quizzes, where every guess yields clues.

A quiz with a high win rate and many average tries is therefore not easy: it is generous with clues. Conversely, a quiz with a low win rate and few average tries is one where you quickly know you will not find it.

Why some Pokémon trip everyone up

The most missed Pokémon table is the most instructive on the page. A Pokémon rarely lands there by accident:

  • Misleading profile: stats or types that do not match its appearance. Players head in the wrong direction and stay there.
  • Low fame: a mid-Pokédex species with no memorable role in the games or the anime, which even connoisseurs misplace.
  • Lookalikes: a Pokémon whose silhouette, cry or description immediately evokes another, more famous one. The first instinct burns a try, sometimes two.

The best guessed table tells the opposite story: famous mascots, unique shapes, unambiguous clues.

Using these stats to improve

These numbers are not just a curiosity: they show where to focus your training.

  • Start with the quiz with the best win rate to build your streak, and keep the most punishing ones for when you master the format.
  • Study the most missed Pokémon in the table: they are exactly the ones that can break a streak. Having seen them here once is often enough to never get caught again.
  • Every quiz has its method: the Pokequizz guides explain how to approach the silhouette, the Wordle, the odd one out and the other formats.

And if you want to measure your own level against the community, the Daily Challenge and the leaderboard are made for that.

Frequently asked questions

Where does this data come from?
From classic games (Common and Replay modes) played by signed-in players on Pokequizz. Each game records the mystery Pokémon, the outcome and the number of tries.
Are the numbers anonymous?
Yes. This page only publishes totals and averages computed across all players. No individual result is visible.
How often are they updated?
Every Sunday. The date of the last computation is shown at the top of the tables.
Why a minimum number of games per Pokémon?
To keep the ranking honest. A Pokémon missed once in a single game would show a 0% win rate without it meaning anything. The threshold removes those cases.
Do guest games count?
No. Only games from signed-in players are recorded in the database and included in the computations.
A quiz is missing from the Pokémon tables, why?
The most missed and best guessed tables only cover quizzes whose answer is a Pokémon. Quizzes whose answer is an item, a move or an ability only appear in the per-quiz ranking.
