Eevee silhouette used by the quiz

One-minute visual check

Can you find Eevee without color?

Which silhouette is Eevee?

All four choices use the same black-silhouette treatment. Select one outline; names appear only after the answer is locked.

Human-reviewed clues

Trace these four parts of the outline

Follow the edge once from the topmost feature to the base. Every clue below remains visible when color and interior detail are removed.

  1. 01A small four-legged body stands in a compact, nearly frontal pose.
  2. 02Two exceptionally long tapered ears open into a wide V.
  3. 03A jagged circular ruff creates a starburst edge around the neck and shoulders.
  4. 04One oversized plume-like tail rises beside the body and ends in a broad point.

Decisive comparison

Against Sprigatito, look for Eevee’s taller ears, complete jagged neck ruff, and one broad plume-like tail.

What the alpha channel measures

The figures describe this exact 475 × 475 artwork file after transparent pixels are removed. They describe the presented pose, not the Pokémon’s canonical height or body size.

Percentiles rank this artwork against all 1,025 source images. Higher edge complexity means more boundary changes per unit of filled area; it does not mean the Pokémon is harder for every player.

Algorithmic comparison

Nearby shapes in the 1,025-image index

The index scales and centers each alpha silhouette, checks both left- and right-facing versions, then combines overlap with nine shape measurements.

These are exploratory computer matches, not a claim that players confuse the species. Pose, overlap, and thin appendages can produce surprising neighbors.

Roster context

Use current type and generation to narrow the pool

These counts come from the same 1,025-entry runtime dataset as the quiz. They are elimination clues, not features inferred from the silhouette.

  • 131 of 1,025 Pokémon currently include Normal.
  • 22 Pokémon introduced in Generation 1 currently include Normal.
  • 75 Pokémon share the exact current type combination Normal.
