Like was said already, this could be a good quiz if some questions weren't completely wrong. The number of tiers and the Magnemence question... That didn't help. I don't exactly call Cradily an "OU Threat" either.
 
I got the GyaraZone/MagneMence question wrong when I put No. The answer should be no though, because the combo does not resist ground or poison... there's only immunity, no resist.

... But wait, people put yes and still got it wrong? Uh... ...

How did we both get it wrong?

Though I disagree that it should be no.. I think an immunity is a form of resist.
 
because its true or false not yes and no, i myself got an 80 something don't really remember but i missed three, cradily, gyarazone, and dual screen spinner questions
 
One of the major issues some of you may have noticed, by the way, is that several times the quiz asks you about an Adamant 252 HP Pokemon (note the lack of attack EVs), yet the "correct" answer is calculated as if the Pokemon has 252 attack EVs, which the question says it did not.
 
Limbo is not really a tier, just a place to categorize Pokemon when they are in no tier at the moment. I also thought Ubers was a ban list, not a tier.

This quiz is strange. Good idea, not executed perfectly... or well at all.

EDIT: The quiz asked how many Pokemon types, then it said 'two words'. I typed in 17 types and it was wrong =(

Question 19 asked a Yes or No question, yet it was a True or False answer.

Question 14 says Starmie and Forretress. Uh, Claydol knows Rapid Spin and Dual Screen too!!! The answer is three!!

Question 24 says Belly Drum maxes your attack. According to Smogon it just raises your attack 6 stages.
 
For the tiers question, iirc, it said "list the active tiers in smogon" or somthing similar - and that would be UU, OU, Suspect and Ubers. At least on shoddy anyway, which is what i assumed it ment.
Edit: also BL isn't a tier, it is a ban list from UU.
 
I got an 84% =/ I thought Smogon had only 4 active tiers...
Also, i wrote Cradily for the sandstorm thingy and still got it wrong.
 
did anyone else get stuck on 2 because you kept on justifying why one is the odd one out?
i thought it might be swampert cuz hes the only OU, or gastrodon cuz hes the only one not blue/with multiple forms?

EDIT:
got a 64% btw

Uber and Limbo are metagames IIRC, not Tiers, so I was confused on that as well :(

I got this one wrong because of it the x4 thing instead of maximizing attack.

I got a 92% didn't try the Blissey one.

It was a cool test though.

It said OU only unless the OP changed it. Smeargle would be one though so the answer is 3.
 
Oh, good point. Oh, Smeargle, another good point. Either way I should I have gotten that question correct! But this test may have been made before that jump to OU made by Smeargle.
 
I completed it with a score of 19/25 + 1 pending.

I got Q.4 wrong (forgot BL), Q.14 wrong (I said 3, there are 3. Smeargle/Starmie/Forretress, but it said 2 was the answer!), Q.18 wrong (I didn't know lol), Q.22 wrong (I had no idea), and Q.24.

I fail D:
 
56%. some of the questions I was flat out wrong on, like missing Smeargle on the learnlist one, but some were just BS. "Yes" instead of true. I did my damage calcs without 252 Attack Evs (which makes Zam's maximum amount of hits 5 instead of 4, being just barely under 25%)

Forgot about 'BL' on the tier listing one, though not all of them are tiers I understood what the OP was going for on this one. I didn't know "Cro". The policy review one through me off as well, I was most specific and chose the "suspect test" sub forum. Totally misread the "how many types are there" and said 18 thinking the test said "including". Misread a few others, like the one asking about a ghost/ground with levitate, I missed levitate.

Not a bad quiz, but harsh toward "same answers" and the inability to change an answer is off as well, though it is my fault for not reading. The use of "Hp" over EV (used twice, though it didn't matter on the snorlax one) throws off damage calculations.
 
Sorry I made such a sloppy quiz with tons of mistakes. If anyone would like to help me create a new one, now that the concept has shaped up, please let me know :)
Thanks for attempting though! In the future I'll fix these up:
  • I specifically wrote (number please) at the end of the questions that had numbers as answers, but apparently people didn't adhere to that, so next time I'll accept "seventeen" or "twelve".
  • True-False Questions will accept "True", "False", "Yes", or "No".
  • I'll cross-check answers with some brilliant mathematicians like reachzero if he wants (thanks for catching my errors!)
 
Q18) You can't post in this forum unless you've earned posting rights.

Me:*types in "The Policy Review"
Quiz: Incorrect, the answer is Policy Review.
Me: *headdesks*
