Who's that Pokemon? (SUPER SPECIAL SUPER UPDATE 5/8/24)

Opens with something a little different.

Is it in the "Field" egg group? (One such list. Divided the page into "Only in this egg group" and "In this and another egg group". Mentions this in case you do not use Find and skim too fast.)

No, it is not in the Field egg group.

Is it Ice type?

I was tempted to pick one of my icy bois and lasses, but no. It's not an Ice type.
 
Does this Pokemon belong to two egg groups? (May prefer this Bulbapedia list instead. Displays all the Pokemon.)

Yes, it belongs to two egg groups.


It is not in the Field egg group.
It's not an Ice type.
Belongs to two egg groups.
 
Helps quite a bit. Brings it down to 281 Pokemon on that alone (not counting alternate forms). Might as well continue this line of thought.

Is this Pokemon in the Monster egg group, the Dragon egg group, OR both?

Yes, belongs to either the Monster, Dragon or both of these egg groups.

Is it a starter?

No, it's not a starter.


It is not in the Field egg group.

Liked the egg group method well enough. Probably performs as well as types, though. Views types as far more intuitive (or at least well-memorized) than egg groups. Seems best to stick to that, at least in most cases.

Invites someone else to take the reins for the next Pokemon. Already hosted a couple times. Will put up a new Pokemon in 48 hours, if no one else does.
