How to recognize the Greninja silhouette
Study the exact outer contour used by this quiz, compare its data fingerprint with 1,024 other artwork silhouettes, then find Greninja among four choices.
- Introduced with
- Kalos · Generation 6
- Current type
- Water + Dark
One-minute visual check
Can you find Greninja without color?
Which silhouette is Greninja?
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.
- 01A very low crouch spreads the silhouette much wider than it is tall.
- 02Two narrow points rise from the head while shorter angular fins extend sideways.
- 03One long rounded scarf-like strand arcs far to the left of the body.
- 04All four limbs splay outward and end in broad digits with rounded tips.
Decisive comparison
Greninja stays low and horizontal with a long looping strand; Lucario and Cinderace build much taller upright silhouettes.

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.
- Visible width
- 91% of canvas
- Percentile 79
- Visible height
- 54% of canvas
- Percentile 5
- Filled bounding box
- 30% filled
- Percentile 3
- Left-right symmetry
- 52%
- Percentile 33
- Edge complexity
- 17.2
- Percentile 96
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.

Wimpod

Woobat

Archen
54.7/100 shape score
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.
- 154 of 1,025 Pokémon currently include Water.
- 9 Pokémon introduced in Generation 6 currently include Water.
- 69 of 1,025 Pokémon currently include Dark.
- 5 Pokémon introduced in Generation 6 currently include Dark.
- 4 Pokémon share the exact current type combination Water + Dark.
