The Focus, ten questions on the Pokémon of the day
The Focus puts one fully evolved Pokémon in the spotlight every day, and the title says so outright: "How well do you know Umbreon?". Ten multiple-choice questions follow, all about that one Pokémon. Everywhere else on Pokequizz you have to guess the Pokémon; here you are handed it, and what is left is proving you really know it.
The only quiz where the subject is given away
Wordle, Silhouette, Cry, Pokédex: all those modes hide a name and ask you to find it. The Focus does the opposite. The Pokémon of the day is written above the grid, its data sheet becomes the playing field, and every question digs out one precise detail of it. Recognizing it on sight is no longer enough.
There is no sudden death. A wrong answer does not cut the run short: you answer all ten questions and the final score is out of 10. So the run is played to the end, even when the first question lands on the stat nobody remembers.
What the ten questions dig out
The battle side first: its base stat total, the value of one specific stat, its best and its worst stat, its typing, its abilities and its hidden ability, a move it learns, a move it does NOT learn, and a move from its most played competitive set. Its cry is in there too, to be picked out from four.
The profile side next: which Pokémon it evolves from, by which method and at which level, how many members its family has, its egg group, the EVs it gives, the generation it debuted in, its name in another language, its height, its weight, the regional Pokédex it appears in, its gender ratio, one of its Pokédex entries, the color of its shiny, its alternate forms, and its Mega Evolution or Gigantamax form when it has one.
Two runs a day, and a bonus grid for a perfect score
You get two runs a day. A perfect score opens a BONUS grid that adds to your total, capped at 20 points for the day. Otherwise the second run serves different questions on the same Pokémon, and only the better of the two runs counts.
The Pokémon of the day is the same for every player, in all four languages of the site. No timer is shown on screen: time is measured quietly and only breaks ties on the leaderboard.
How to play
- Read the title: it gives you the Pokémon of the day, there is nothing to guess.
