One-minute visual check
Can you find Zoroark without color?
Which silhouette is Zoroark?
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.
- 01The body leans forward in a low bipedal crouch with bent, widely spaced legs.
- 02An enormous jagged mane forms a broad mass behind the head and shoulders.
- 03A long pointed snout and tall forehead tuft sharpen the front of the silhouette.
- 04Large hands and feet finish in clearly separated pointed claws.
Decisive comparison
Against Lucario, prioritize Zoroark’s oversized mane and separated claws instead of the slimmer torso and paired wrist spikes.

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.

- 91% of canvas
- Percentile 79
- Visible height

- Filled bounding box
- 45% filled

- Percentile 70
- Edge complexity
- 12.9
- Percentile 80
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.

Simipour

Porygon
70.9/100 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.
- 69 of 1,025 Pokémon currently include Dark.
- 16 Pokémon introduced in Generation 5 currently include Dark.
- 13 Pokémon share the exact current type combination Dark.
