Name Them All: Every Pokémon of a Type Combo
A type combination appears, like Electric / Poison or pure Steel, and everyone races to name every Pokémon that has it. Each one goes to whoever names it first, so it is a name-all-the-Pokémon quiz you play against your friends.

How to play Name Them All
Create a lobby and send your friends the invite link or the 6-character code. The lobby creator, the master, picks the settings and presses Start.
Each round shows a type combination and how many Pokémon have it. Type a name and press Enter, then go again with the next one. Every correct find fills a slot with the Pokémon and who found it, so everyone can see how many are left.
A round ends when every Pokémon is found, when the clock runs out, or when everyone has passed or run out of wrong guesses. The answers are then revealed one by one, showing who found each Pokémon and which were missed, and the master presses Continue.
Which type combinations come up
Every combination has between 2 and 12 Pokémon in the generations you picked, so no round asks for a list of fifty. With all nine generations on there are over a hundred possible combos, almost all of them dual types. Big groups like pure Water are then too large to appear, but with fewer generations some pure types become small enough to show up.
- Type order does not matter: Electric / Poison and Poison / Electric are the same.
- A pure type means no second type, and a dual combo needs exactly those two types.
- Types follow the current games, so Clefairy counts as Fairy even in a Gen 1 game.
- Only standard forms count, not regional forms or Mega Evolutions.
- The game avoids repeating a combination within the same game.
Settings the master can change
Everything is set in the lobby before the game starts.
- Generations: any mix of Gen 1 to Gen 9. Only Pokémon from those generations count, and naming one from outside them does not cost a wrong guess.
- Rounds: 5, 10, 15 or 20. The default is 10.
- Time per round: unlimited by default, or 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds.
- Wrong guesses per round: unlimited by default, or 1, 3 or 5. Naming a Pokémon that does not have the combination, or one already found, counts as wrong. Use up your last one and you sit out the rest of that round.
Scoring, passing and the end screen
Each Pokémon is worth 1 point to the first player who names it. Most points after the last round wins, and a tie shares the win.
Pass is a vote to end the round, not a surrender. After passing you can still name Pokémon, and passing only ends the round once everyone has passed or is out of wrong guesses.
The end screen shows the ranking, awards such as Walking Pokédex for the top scorer if they named five or more, a log of every combination and who found what, and the lobby scoreboard. The master can then take everyone back to the lobby to play again or switch to another game, without anyone rejoining.
Tips for naming more Pokémon
A few habits help once the race heats up.
- Do not slow down for spelling. One small typo is forgiven on names of five letters or more, and suggestions appear after three letters.
- Check the found list before you type. Repeating a Pokémon someone already found counts as a wrong guess.
- Think in evolution families. When one member fits a combination, its relatives often do too.
- For an easier night, start with Gen 1 only and add generations as the group gets braver.
Frequently asked questions
Is Name Them All free to play?
Yes. It is free and runs in the browser on desktop and phones. There is nothing to download and no account or sign-up.
How many people can play?
From 1 to 10 players per lobby. Share the invite link or the 6-character code. Anyone who joins mid-game watches and plays in the next game.

Yes. A lobby works with a single player, which makes it a handy way to practise your type knowledge before game night.
Do regional forms or Mega Evolutions count?
No. Each Pokémon counts in its standard form only, so Vulpix is a Fire type here, not an Ice type from its Alolan form.
