PokeVS is a free, real-time multiplayer Pokémon trivia game you play directly in your browser — no download, no account, and nothing to install. Create a room, share the link with friends, and compete live with every Pokémon, from the original 151 to the newest ones. Every round is timed and scored in real time, so it plays more like a live quiz show than a slow back-and-forth.
Create a room and share the link or room code with your friends — anyone can join from their own phone or computer, no sign-up needed. Pick one or more of the game modes below, or chain several together into a longer Marathon match, and the host starts the round whenever everyone's ready. Playing alone or short a few friends? Fill the empty seats with bots set to Easy, Medium, Hard, or Extreme difficulty, so you can still get a full match going.
PokeVS has several distinct ways to test how well you actually know Pokémon, each drawing on a different kind of knowledge — from raw memory to sound recognition to visual recall. See the full breakdown of each mode further down this page.
PokeVS is fully translated and playable in English, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese — Pokémon names, type names, and every prompt adapt to whichever language each player has selected, even mid-match.
PokeVS is an independent, fan-made project built and maintained by a solo developer (hi, I'm Mobu) who wanted an easy way to actually play trivia live with friends instead of just texting each other questions back and forth. It's still actively developed — new modes, languages, and fixes ship regularly, see the changelog for what's new — and it stays free to play, supported by optional donations rather than a paywall. PokeVS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokémon Company; all Pokémon names and data are used for trivia purposes only.
Take turns naming a Pokémon that fits the prompt. Miss or repeat one and you're eliminated for the round.
Two types appear: name a Pokémon with exactly those two, in any order, before anyone else.
Listen to a Pokémon's cry and guess which one it is from 5 similar options.
A random Pokémon shows up: guess its Pokédex number. Closest guess wins.
A pixelated Pokémon clears up over time and everyone guesses at once. The first to name it wins the round — the earlier, the more points.
Listen to a music clip and guess which game it's from, out of 4 options.
Everyone names things in a category's top 10 at once to reveal their rank. Each wrong answer costs a life.
Multiple-choice or true/false questions about the Pokémon world.
Two Pokémon, one hidden stat: pick which one is taller, heavier, faster or stronger.
See a Pokémon for 10 seconds, draw it from memory, then vote for the best drawings one by one. Needs 3+ players, no bots.
