Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile

Correct Answer B. Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile
Explanation The first-generation starters are Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. The third-generation starters are Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. No offense to any of you out there, but if you said that Treedy, Grilpas, Kanew, Grassy, Firey, or Watery are Pokémon at all, you have a major mental disorder and must play every game in the first, second, and third generation of Pokémon 5000 times each. Seriously.

The chance of finding a shiny wild Pokémon is a very low, it being 1 in ______.
Correct Answer 8192
Explanation The chance of finding a wild Shiny Pokémon is 1 in 8192. For those who are interested in why this happens, read on. When you encounter a wild Pokémon, there are four numbers randomly picked. One is your Trainer ID. One is your Trainer Secret ID. So only two random numbers are really picked randomly at the beginning of a wild Pokémon encounter. The other two are randomly determined at the beginning of the game and stay static. These random numbers range from 00000 to 65535, resulting in 65536 different number combinations. It was programmed into the game that if one of the randomly-picked numbers (not your ID or secret ID) is less than 8, the Pokémon is shiny. This is because of the bitwise function "exclusive or." Since there are 8 possible numbers in the game which are below 8 (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0) the chance of finding a shiny Pokémon is 8/65536, or 1/8192. Because of the four numbers, Shiny Pokémon are no longer determined by Individual Values, as they had been in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Therefore, it is possible to have a shiny Pokémon with Maximum IVs.

Given that a Diglett and a Raichu have the exact same stats and ability (not going to happen), who will do more damage to identical enemy Pokémon when using Dig?
A. 
Raichu
B. 
Diglett
C. 
Both of them will do the same amount of damage.
D. 
Raichu can't learn dig.
Correct Answer B. Diglett
Explanation Diglett's Dig will be stronger than Raichu's even if they have the same stats and ability. Diglett's Dig is given more power due to STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus). This means that Diglett (ground) will get a damage bonus when using any ground-type move, such as Dig. Raichu is not ground-type, so he does not get this bonus. And, for a fun fact, Raichu can learn Dig by TM. Dig is TM28 in all generations so far.

What does a Pokémon's nature do?
A. 
The nature of a Pokémon increases one stat by 10% and decreases another by 10%.
B. 
It will affect the behaviour of the Pokémon in the game.
C. 
It will have an effect on the Pokémon's happiness.
D. 
Nothing. It is just a cool thing to have.
Correct Answer A. The nature of a Pokémon increases one stat by 10% and decreases another by 10%.
Explanation Natures are very important to Pokémon battling. A Pokémon being raised in a useful stat for that Pokémon in exchange for a loss of a not-so-important stat to that Pokémon is needed to get the upper hand in competitive battling. There are 25 natures, covering all of the possible stat-up and stat-down situations. Five of these natures do not affect the stats of a Pokémon whatsoever because they raise the same stat that they decrease.
