Do you have an affinity for ghastly Ghost-type Pokémon and dreadful Dark-type Pokémon? Think you’ve got what it takes to rival Agatha, Fantina, or Acerola as the queen of Ghost-type Pokémon or challenge Karen, Grimsley, or Marnie as the Dark-type prodigy? Celebrate the gorgeously ghoulish season by trick-or-treating yourself to a quiz that will test your knowledge of spooky Pokémon, places, and Trainers. But be warned: taking the spooky Pokémon quiz alone in your house, while exploring an abandoned building, or walking across a foggy bridge might prove too scary.
