About This Test
The hardest choice in gaming is your starter Pokémon. Across nine generations, the fire, water and grass trio has kicked off every adventure, from Charmander and Squirtle to Sprigatito and Fuecoco.
Here is a different question: which starter matches your face? Grass starters tend to look calm, fire starters bold and water starters friendly, and a photo gets you your first partner.
Our AI analyzes your photo to find which of these 12 characters you resemble most. Powered by deep-learning face recognition, you get instant results to share with friends. Your photo is used only for analysis and is never stored.
Featured Characters
These are the characters you can be matched with.
The icon. It refuses the Poké Ball and reserves your shoulder as its assigned seat. One cheek spark powers an entire friendship. Loyal to the end, as long as you deserve it.
The most dependable first pick, the one who isn't chosen first. Patient and constant, it digests conflict with photosynthesis. In the long run it becomes everyone's favorite without a sound.
A little flame dreaming of becoming a big dragon. Touchy about the tail fire and extremely dramatic on rainy days. It's destined to be the coolest thing in the sky someday.
A cool friend who gives off sunglasses energy even without sunglasses. Laid-back under pressure, and naturally the leader of the pack. Water fights and mischief get its full commitment.
A sweet-scented optimist who waves its leaf as if the whole world were its audience. A little spoiled and endlessly affectionate, with a competitive streak tucked away.
A shy one who keeps its flame off until the decisive moment. Gentle eyes, explosive back. Nobody has a bigger gap between everyday mode and battle mode.
The chaos agent who bites first and always celebrates. Infinite energy and no indoor voice, with a dance for every occasion.
The internet's beloved. Unbothered and moist, stronger than it looks. It sits in the mud like a throne, because it is a throne.
A proud penguin that trips and rolls and stands back up with its dignity intact. It refuses help and demands respect, and secretly wants a hug.
The aloof royalty of the starters. It judges the world with arms folded and wins with minimum effort, and it looks elegant doing anything.
An aloof fire cat that pretends not to care and follows you everywhere. Grooming is serious business, and affection is handed out strictly on its own schedule.
A grassy baby cat that photosynthesizes attention. Playful and adorably clingy, and it sulks a little whenever you pet another Pokémon.
