Test Your Knowledge of Pokémon’s Villainous Teams with This Quiz

Prepare for trouble and double down on your knowledge of Pokémon to see if you possess the nefarious knowledge needed to be a baddie.

The world of Pokémon is filled with teams of malevolently memorable villains that need to be stopped before their wicked schemes are realized. Although we would certainly never encourage Trainers to participate in malicious behavior, it could be helpful to get into the mindset of these fiendish foes to understand the way their crooked minds work. This quiz will let you see just how well you know the troublesome troupes that love to interfere with our Pokémon journeys.

Give yourself a point for each question you get correct, then tally up your score to see how well you did at the end of the quiz. Good luck, Trainers!

So, how well did you do? Give yourself one point for each question you got correct, then see where you land on the scale below:


0–6 points: You’re a Roughneck! You’re certainly a rough ’n’ tumble character, but you need a little more practice before you’d be able to join a true team of villains.

7–10 points: You’re a Grunt! You have enough skills to cause a fair bit of trouble, but you still have some work to do before you’d be able to make it to the big time.

11–13 points: You’re an Admin! Heroes would probably get nervous when you walk into the room thanks to your vast knowledge of nastiness.

14–15 points: You’re a Boss! Now, we’re not saying that you’re already secretly part of a villainous team, but we might keep a closer eye on our Pokémon when you’re around...


No matter how well you did, congratulate yourself on a job well done. Remember to keep checking back in to Pokemon.co.uk for more challenging quizzes that will test your Pokémon knowledge!
