Does this Pokémon have the Water type or the Grass type?
Water and Grass types cross paths in every region, right from a Trainer's very first choices. For each card, say whether the Pokémon has the Water type or the Grass type, whether it is its only type or one of two. Pokémon with both types are left out, so that there is only one right answer. The selection stops at the 6th generation, meaning numbers 1 to 721 in the National Pokédex. Be careful, as some silhouettes are misleading. This is a fan-made quiz. It is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK or The Pokémon Company.
