Number mode guide (Pokédex numbers)

Guess a Pokémon's National Pokédex number; the closest guess wins. Rules, scoring and memory tricks for PokeVS Number mode.

How it works

A Pokémon appears together with its region and the range of National Pokédex numbers for that region, for example Johto, 152 to 251. Each player types one number within that range. Numbers outside the range are rejected so you can try again.

When the 20-second timer ends, or everyone has answered, the real number is revealed.

Scoring

Only the closest guess scores, and it is worth 80 points. If two or more players are equally close, all of them get the 80 points. There are 10 rounds in a match.

Tips

• Anchor on the starters. Every region's list begins with its three starter lines, so the first nine or so numbers of each region are easy.
• Evolution lines are consecutive: if you know Charmander is 4, Charizard is 6.
• Legendary and Mythical Pokémon sit at the end of their region's range, so a legendary is almost always close to the region's last number.
• The regions guide lists every range and its starters and legendaries.
