What is Trivia Tracker?
Trivia Tracker (TT) is the main game mode in the Trivia Room. In this game, the user who has the BP (short for Baton Pass) gets to ask a question, and whoever gets that question right receives the BP and gets to ask their own question. And so on! Meanwhile, the room’s resident bot, Jeopard-E, adds points and keeps track of whose turn it is at all times. If you are new to TT, please read this brief introduction to the game, or scroll down to the section titled "Helpful Topics for New Users."
When you've done so, you should also go through the Question Rules listed on this page to familiarise yourself with the types of questions which should not be asked (you can also PM Jeopard-E with the command ~rules). Learning to ask suitable questions will enable you to contribute to the positive room environment. Due to the nature of asking and answering questions in a chatroom, Trivia Tracker has a lot of rules that can be confusing at first. Please don’t be discouraged! Everyone makes mistakes, even after they have been in the Trivia Room for a long time. This guide is here to help you, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask staff for help.
A full guide on how Jeopard-E works can be found here (you can also PM the bot with the command ~help).

Basic Trivia Tracker Etiquette
- Please do not use bold text unless it is your turn and you’re either asking a question, giving a hint, or vetoing your own question.
- Please do not rush people to ask questions. Once you have the BP, you have five minutes to ask a question, after which the BP is opened automatically. Jeopard-E will PM you with a reminder if you have not asked after three minutes. If you claimed an open BP (rather than answering a question correctly), you have three and a half minutes to ask your question instead of the usual five.
- Please avoid overasking questions. If a question was recently asked in chat (1-2 hours) it can be vetoed for recency. If a question is asked too often over several days or weeks, it can be vetoed for being overasked.
- If you need an extension, highlight an authorized user (+ or up) and they will close the BP for you. But do not time stall.
- Do not claim BP just to open it again.
- If your question has been vetoed, do not try to use ~yes. Ask a new question or open the BP.
- If you would like to dispute a veto, please take it up with a staff member in PM. Don’t debate about it at-length in the chat, as this drags down the game.
- If you think a question should be vetoed, don’t say “veto.” Highlight an auth by saying "~auth" and they will deal with the problem. You can only veto your own questions.
- Don’t be mean to new users who don’t understand the rules. Direct them to this document and the beginners’ guide.
- Please respect asker’s discretion in choosing an answer, where applicable.
- Room auth have the authority to exercise leniency to new users in the room in regards to some Trivia Tracker rules.
- Questions or answers that set off Pokemon Showdown's or the Trivia room's automatic spoilers are forbidden.
- Sometimes a question will be vetoed if users are spamming answers, even if it's not multiple choice. Questions whose answers are numbers can easily fall under this. Additionally, you may be warned or muted for spamming answers.
- It is heavily discouraged to take questions from other trivia sites and sources; please make an effort to create your own questions.
- Manipulating or attempting to manipulate TTL in any way, including cheating through PMing questions/answers, using alts to farm points, and asking for help in other rooms, is strictly prohibited, and will be punished with a roomban without warning.
Helpful Topics for New Users
HOW DO I ASK A QUESTION?
So it’s your turn to ask a question, but you don’t seem to know how to. The first thing you must remember is to always bold your questions. Otherwise, it is unclear if you have asked a question or not. Also, the room bot (Jeopard-E) won’t be able to detect that you’ve asked a question. The way to bold your question is to surround the text with 2 asterisks. This will ensure any message within the asterisks will be bolded.
One must not put spaces between the asterisks and the question.
But wait! What has happened? The bold didn’t work properly in the image above. This is because the user has left spaces between the asterisks (*) and the question. This will result in the bold not working.
As you can see, in the image above, the user has successfully bolded their question! Now it is valid and the other users can answer!
NOTE: If you don’t bold your question, you have 5 seconds to correct it, or the question will be vetoed. See "What Is A Veto?" for more information on vetoes.
NOTE: If you don’t bold your question, you have 5 seconds to correct it, or the question will be vetoed. See "What Is A Veto?" for more information on vetoes.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN SOMEONE ANSWERS MY QUESTION CORRECTLY?
You’ve asked your question, made sure to bold it properly, but now a new challenge arises. “What do I do when somebody answers my question?” you may ask. When somebody answers your question correctly, you use the ~yes command to announce that they’re the winner! In the above image, the question asker would have to do ~yes Trivia User 2, because they’re the first person to successfully answer the question.
Keep in mind that the ~yes command only works if you spell the user’s name correctly. A good way to ensure that you always get it right is to type the first few letters of their name and press the TAB key to autocomplete!
(Note: If someone gives more answers than asked and all of them are still correct, they still should get the BP. However, should any of those answers be incorrect, then the answerer cannot receive the BP, as the answer then is wrong. See example below.)
(Note: If someone gives more answers than asked and all of them are still correct, they still should get the BP. However, should any of those answers be incorrect, then the answerer cannot receive the BP, as the answer then is wrong. See example below.)
Since Trivia User 22 provided an incorrect answer, they do not get the answer. Trivia User 24 has provided 2 correct answers and thus can get BP. However, if either of them just said "Macron", they'd still have gotten it regardless.
I DON'T WANT TO ASK A QUESTION! HOW DO I PASS MY ASKER'S PRIVILEGE TO SOMEONE ELSE?
Sometimes, you will answer a question correctly, but you will not be able to think of a question, or simply will not want to ask. In this case, you will want to open the bp. BP, short for Baton Pass, denotes whose turn it is to ask a question. If it is your turn, and you no longer wish to ask a question, type the command ~bpopen and voilà! It is no longer your turn! (Alternatively, ~openbp works as well!)
Now that the bp has been opened, another user who wants to ask a question may say “me” or “bp” and take it. It's as simple as that!
IMPORTANT: Do not reopen BP after claiming an Open BP!
I ~YES'D THE WRONG PERSON! WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
Sometimes when asking a question, you may accidentally ~yes the wrong person.
Fear not! Simply alert that user and ask them to type the command ~tf into the chat. This gives the bp back to you. Now, you can ~yes the correct user!
If the person you gave the bp doesn’t respond for any reason, an auth (someone with +, %, @, #, &, or ~ next to their name) can also use ~no to give you the bp back:
HOW DO I WRITE A GOOD QUESTION?
Hopefully, this section will give inspiration, or at least help you understand what makes a good question.
Let's start with an example of a good one:
Let's start with an example of a good one:
(Answer: Member Card)
Look at the first part of the question: "This ... Key Item" tells readers exactly what you're asking for. You want the name of the particular item. This should always be clear, otherwise you'll have a hard time getting people to understand the question. The middle part of the sentence provides context – Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are the games which your question is asking about. The last part describes the answer. There are many Key Items in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, so you have to give enough information for readers to single-out the particular Key Item you're asking for.
Here's another example, this time with the question reorganized:
Here's another example, this time with the question reorganized:
(Answer: Plusle)
Notice how the question still identifies what it's asking for ("this Pokemon") and provides context ("In Pokemon Ranger") and information ("Solana's partner"). All good questions identify these three components.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
- You must provide enough information for people to pick a specific answer. You might think doing this would make a question too easy, but often it just makes things unclear and unfun when you don’t. When in doubt, it's okay to include extra stuff. For instance, if you ask “Which Pokemon is based on a tree?” you will need to provide more information in order to make sure the only answer is, say, Trevenant instead of Phantump, Tropius, etc.
- What you're asking for should be a concrete object. If you ask "Why did Wigglytuff like Perfect Apples?" then answers may have varying degrees of correctness. As a general rule, you should be able to definitively say, "That answer is wrong" or "Correct." If you're able to say "Almost, but you have to be more specific," then it means your question is vague and ambiguous. Try to avoid asking "Why...?" or "How...?" questions, and stick to "What...?" "Where...?" and "Who...?" style questions.
- Know your audience. If the majority of the chat doesn't know anything about cellular microbiology, don't ask about cellular microbiology. This makes everybody sad, since they don't understand the material enough to answer questions. When in doubt, ask something about Pokemon!
- Have fun!

WHAT IS A VETO? (AND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?)
Because Trivia Tracker is a game that tracks points, there are rules for which kinds of questions you’re allowed to ask. If your question breaks one of these rules, it’s likely to be vetoed, which means that you must either ask a new question or open the BP.
Don’t worry--being vetoed is normal, and it can happen to anybody! It is not a punishment; it simply means that something went wrong and a new question is needed. Reviewing the following examples will help you avoid being vetoed by knowing which kinds of questions run the risk of being nullified.
Many questions are vetoed because they are incorrect, misspelled, or otherwise impossible to understand. For these issues, please refer to the guide above titled How Do I Write a Good Question?
Outside of such errors, there are three general reasons for vetoing a question: 1) it is about a banned topic, 2) it is a banned question/answer type, or 3) it breaks one or more special clauses. And sometimes these rules overlap. We will go over each of these in-depth below in the Question Rules section.

And sometimes these rules overlap. We will go over each of these in-depth below in the Question Rules section.
AUTH DISCRETION
It should be noted that the following rules dictate which questions must be vetoed. However, users with voice (+) and higher are at liberty to veto any question they deem problematic on an individual basis. This is to maximize fun and keep the game running smoothly with integrity. In addition, questions that are overasked may be banned by auth on a day-to-day basis. If you disagree with a veto, please notify the appropriate auth and respectfully explain your point of view to them. They may reverse their decision, but are not obligated to. We always strive to make the game fair, and will not veto questions arbitrarily.
If you aren’t sure what topic to ask about, it’s hard to go wrong with asking a Pokémon question! A popular type of Pokémon question is species/category (“This Pokemon is known as the Bright Pokémon”).

Question Rules - Click on individual tabs to find out more about each rule!
1. Banned/Restricted Topics
There are certain topics that cannot be asked about in Trivia for a number of reasons. If you ask about any of the topics below, the question will be vetoed.
RESTRICTED CONTENT
POKEMON SHOWDOWN
FAN-MADE CONTENT / ROM HACKS
Fan-made content, including unauthorised derivative content of original works (e.g. Rom Hacks, fanfiction) and community-created content are not allowed in Trivia, unless it has a large and official presence that supersedes it simply being a derivative work. This doesn't include translations of content with no official translations (e.g. Mother 3).
SPOILERS
Questions with spoilers are only allowed one month after the worldwide release of their respective media. It is up to auth discretion to determine what exactly constitutes a spoiler, but generally this includes plot-sensitive information and any details by which one would reasonably expect to be surprised while consuming the media organically.
NEWS / EVENTS
Questions about recent events, such as breaking news and sporting events, cannot be asked until 12 hours after the news has broken or the event has occurred.
NOT TRIVIA
REWORDED DEX ENTRIES (RDE)
RDEs (reworded dex entries) are questions that ask for a Pokemon based on partially rephrased or reordered information from its dex entry. These questions are allowed as long as they feature a recognizable phrase from the original entry, mention that the content comes from the Pokedex, and are not reworded to the point where they become puzzles or treasure hunts. This will be determined by auth discretion.
Minor changes to the dex entry make this question substantially more difficult, and it is unclear without knowing the answer how many artistic liberties the author has taken with the reword.
This question, however, is legal, as it contains a directly-quoted, recognizable phrase from the entry.
QUESTIONS FROM OTHER SHOWDOWN ROOMS
Do not ask questions which are a current or recent discussion topic in another room on the website. This includes reusing questions which are from an ongoing or recently concluded hunt in the Scavengers room.
INAPPROPRIATE / EXPLICIT CONTENT
This should be self-explanatory and in line with global PS rules. If you have any doubts about it, don’t ask the question.
2. Banned/Restricted Question Types
These types of questions are also banned:
UNVERIFIABLE ANSWERS
This includes subjective questions, fan speculation/unconfirmed rumors, and questions with varying degrees of correctness. There must be an objective, non-negotiable, undebatable answer to your question.
Notice the word “allegedly” in the question. That’s a tip that this question is not verifiable.
GameFreak does not officially define the colors of shinies, and people’s descriptions of colors can vary.
PUZZLE-TYPE QUESTIONS
TRICK QUESTIONS
In Trivia Tracker, asking a question implies that it has a working answer. If the question is asking for a number, an answer of 'zero' is valid and does not necessarily make the question a trick question. Additionally, any answer that requires a question to be interpreted as a trick question is not valid.
This is a trick question, because the answer is “nobody yet.”
MULTIPLE QUESTIONS IN ONE
When you have the BP, you get to ask one question, and one question only. These can easily be fixed by simply picking one of the questions to ask, and saving the other for another time. However, specifications ("include the trainer of a Pokemon", "include the country of a city", etc.) are allowed.
This veto could have been avoided by asking only one of these questions.
MULTIPLE CHOICE
CALCULATIONS AND TRANSLATIONS
TOO BROAD
EXPLANATIONS
/DT, /DS, /MS, /AS, and /IS SEARCHABLE QUESTIONS
Answers that can be found easily using the PS! search commands /dt, /ds, /ms, /as, and /isearch are not allowed; however, in the case of /is and /as searchable questions, they will only be vetoed if they can be found by using exact words or phrases from your question.
Additionally, all answers that can be obtained using the links provided by /dt are also not allowed.
LISTS OF SIX OR MORE
Ideally answers should be relatively short to keep them simple and avoid flooding. This problem is easily avoided by asking for fewer items.
3. Special Clauses
Outside of the standard rules for questions, there are also a few special clauses that can result in a question being vetoed:
THE RULE OF THREE IN FIVE
In an effort to diversify the types of questions asked in Trivia Tracker, we only allow three out of five questions to share the same topic. If a question is the fourth on that topic in five questions and an auth member points it out before the question is asked, it will be vetoed.
NOTE: This does not apply to Pokemon.
NOTE: This does not apply to Pokemon.
This question is normally acceptable, but it was vetoed because it was the fourth geography question out of five.
OBSCURITY CLAUSE
Topics that aren’t Pokemon-related shouldn’t ask for extreme in-depth detail. Askers should keep in mind which topics currently online users are likely to know something about. Do not ask questions that are technically “answerable,” but are based on a topic of which only you have in-depth knowledge. Pokemon Showdown hosts users of all ages, and thus your question, even though quite easy in your eyes, may completely bamboozle others.
Topics that are discouraged due to being prone to obscurity include: YouTube videos, twitch streams.
NOTE: Whether an answer can be Googled has no bearing on whether it is considered obscure.

NOTE: Whether an answer can be Googled has no bearing on whether it is considered obscure.
CHAT-KILLING CAUSE
If a question sharply cuts chat activity for an inordinate period of time because no user can answer it, it is at risk of being vetoed to keep the chat and questions flowing smoothly. The standard limit is 5 minutes without answer, after which it is up to the discretion of auth.
Notice the time stamps; nobody answered for five minutes straight, hence the veto. (Note: Smeargle is not an acceptable answer to this question. You will read why in the next section.)
CONTEXT CLAUSE
BOLDFAIL CLAUSE
A question is only valid if it’s been successfully bolded. If you ask a question, but don’t write it in bold, you have five seconds to correct the bold, or it will be vetoed. Auth may choose not to veto for this if it is the user's first time asking a question in the room.
As you can see from the time stamps, Trivia User failed to fix the bold within 5 seconds.
SMOGON CLAUSE
Smogon questions are allowed to be asked in Trivia Tracker, but there are a few things you should keep in mind when asking them:
Because Smogon questions are allowed, questions about the Create-A-Pokemon (CAP) project are also allowed by extension. However, CAP-exclusive Pokemon, moves, items, and abilities are never considered valid answers to Pokemon questions unless specified otherwise.
- Questions that can be answered by using /tier and /om are vetoable only if the answer can be accessed by viewing Banlist/Ruleset; this does NOT apply to if the question can be answered by viewing any links about Metagame discussion, Viability rankings, etc.
- OMs such as April Fools' Day modes, Weedmons, etc. fall under meme clause and will be vetoed.
- Questions about analyses will be ruled as obscure at an auth's discretion.
Because Smogon questions are allowed, questions about the Create-A-Pokemon (CAP) project are also allowed by extension. However, CAP-exclusive Pokemon, moves, items, and abilities are never considered valid answers to Pokemon questions unless specified otherwise.
Rules/Clauses for Accepting Answers
In addition to the regular rules for asking questions, there are also some clauses that dictate whether or not an answer can be accepted. In some cases, a rule means you must accept a certain answer, or an authorized user may reverse the decision. These can be divided into Pokemon-Related Clauses and Other Question Clauses.
Pokemon-Related Clauses
Unless specifically stated otherwise in the question, these clauses apply to all Pokemon questions.
ILLEGITIMACY CLAUSE
Unless stated otherwise in the question, answers involving the use of glitches/hacks are not valid.
Missingno is technically correct, but it is not an acceptable answer since it is obtained through glitches.
Answers that are unreleased are also counted as illegitimate until they are released in a main series game. The only exceptions to this are Meltan and Melmetal.
SMEARGLE CLAUSE
AMBIGUOUS TYPE CLAUSE
Pokemon and moves that can be multiple types are counted as their default type unless specifically stated otherwise in the question. For example, Arceus and Silvally are considered Normal-type, Revelation Dance and Hidden Power are considered Normal-type, and so on.
Arceus is not counted as a Fairy-type.
MAIN SERIES CLAUSE
All questions about Pokemon games are in the context of the main series games. If the answer to your question comes from a side game and could apply to main series mechanics/characters, you must mention which side game you're referring to in your question. Pokemon Let's Go and Pokemon Legends: Arceus are main series games.
Furthermore, all questions will assume the National Dex, which includes new Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Therefore, Ursaring would be NFE and Eviolite would be treated as if it works on Ursaring. Asking about moves introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus without specifying the context of Pokemon Legends: Arceus would also be allowed. However, all mechanics, such as battle mechanics, item mechanics, move mechanics, etc. would default to the context of the current VGC game, which would currently be Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Furthermore, all questions will assume the National Dex, which includes new Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Therefore, Ursaring would be NFE and Eviolite would be treated as if it works on Ursaring. Asking about moves introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus without specifying the context of Pokemon Legends: Arceus would also be allowed. However, all mechanics, such as battle mechanics, item mechanics, move mechanics, etc. would default to the context of the current VGC game, which would currently be Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Skyridge Machamp has the ability Immunity in the TCG, but Zangoose counts because of Main Series Clause.
RECENCY CLAUSE
ENGLISH ANIME CLAUSE
FAN TERM CLAUSE
Well known fan terms will be acceptable for question askers to use when asking questions and are allowed to use discretion on whether to accept fan term answers or not. This document provides a non-exhaustive list of valid fan terms.
Askers, however, are not allowed to ask questions where only a fan term can be the answer.
NORMAL BATTLE CONDITIONS
Every question concerning Pokemon battles assumes normal battle conditions (NBC), where the special effects of moves, items, field conditions, etc are disregarded. Abilities of Pokemon that are either explicitly mentioned in the question or the subject of the question are included in NBC. Effects of moves and items can be included if they are explicitly mentioned in the question, or are the subject of the question.
For example Eelektross would be a valid answer to the question This monotype Pokemon is immune to Ground-type attacks. This is because Eelektross is the subject of the question so it is assumed to have its ability under normal conditions. Although Thousand Arrows is a Ground-type attack that hits Eelektross, that is a special effect of a move not explicitly mentioned in the question so it is ignored.
Due to its broad nature, Trivia room auth reserves the right to deem anything as normal or not normal battle condition on a case-by-case basis.
For example Eelektross would be a valid answer to the question This monotype Pokemon is immune to Ground-type attacks.

Due to its broad nature, Trivia room auth reserves the right to deem anything as normal or not normal battle condition on a case-by-case basis.
Z-MOVES / MAX MOVES
All Z-Moves, Max Moves, and G-Max Moves as answers are excluded unless specifically included by the question.
Other Question Clauses
SPELLING CLAUSE
When answering questions, there is a typo allowance depending on the length of the answer. If your answer falls within this allowance, it must be accepted by the asker. The allowances are:
- Less than 5 letters: zero typos
- Exactly 5 letters: one typo
- More than 5 letters: two typos
- Adding one character (Chna -> China)
- Removing one character (Chinma -> China)
- Changing one character (Chjna -> China)
- Swapping two adjacent characters (Cihna -> China)
“Wrasaw” is one typo away from Warsaw. Therefore, Trivia User 2 gets BP.
NOTE: There are exceptions--particularly if the answer that’s one/two letters off would constitute a properly-spelt, different answer by itself.
NOTE: There are exceptions--particularly if the answer that’s one/two letters off would constitute a properly-spelt, different answer by itself.
Despite only being one letter off, Woobat is a separate incorrect answer from Swoobat; therefore, Trivia User 2 is correct.
ONE LINE CLAUSE
NAME CLAUSE
If you want the full name of the person you’re asking for in your question you must specify when asking your question otherwise just answering with a last name is acceptable. Questions asking for a full name can be answered with just a first and last name correctly unless the person is known by one or more middle names or initials as well. If an asker is specifically looking for an answer that includes middle names, an alternate name, or prefixes/suffixes, they must specify this in the question ahead of time.
There is one US President with the last name Lincoln; therefore, Trivia Asker must accept “Lincoln.”
NOTE: There are exceptions to this--particularly if someone is known primarily by their first name, or if there are two people with the same last name who are famous for the same thing.
NOTE: There are exceptions to this--particularly if someone is known primarily by their first name, or if there are two people with the same last name who are famous for the same thing.
The asker may use discretion and only accept “FDR” or “Franklin Roosevelt,” because of President Theodore Roosevelt.
