Rules & what counts
Name the Mythical Pokémon — Rules & What Counts
Name the Mythical Pokémon — the rarest tier there is, the event-only species that were handed out at cinemas and promotions rather than caught in the wild.
This quiz's Mythical roster holds 22 species spanning every era, from the original event legend of Gen 1 to the modern giveaways.
How to play
- Type Mythical Pokémon names in any order — each correct one reveals and counts.
- Guessing a non-Mythical does nothing; there's no penalty for trying.
- Give up at any time to reveal the ones that slipped your mind.
What counts in this quiz
- The 22 species this dataset flags as Mythical — the event-distribution rarities across all nine generations.
What's not included — and why
- Alternate forms are never separate answers: Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax forms, and regional variants (Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, Paldean) all live under their species' single Pokédex number.
- Form-heavy Pokémon like Rotom, Deoxys, and Vivillon each count exactly once, however many appliances, formes, or wing patterns they come in.
- Japanese names and fan nicknames don't match — the quiz checks English names, with sensible alternates like "Nidoran F" for Nidoran♀.
Good to know
- The Pokédex crossed four digits with #1000 Gholdengo — a surfer built from exactly 1,000 coins, which is no coincidence.
- Only one Pokémon in the entire dex is both Mythical and capable of Mega Evolution: Diancie.
- Every region maps to a real place: Kanto is the actual Kanto region of Japan, Unova is New York City, Kalos is France, Galar is Great Britain, and Paldea is the Iberian Peninsula.
