What Kind of Pokémon Are You?

What Kind of Pokémon Are You? is the name of one song that was in Pikachu's Jukebox and the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master CD. A slightly different version also was in Pokémon Live! and the Pokémon Live! CD. It lists the 15 types that existed in Generation I. A non-lyrical version is featured in the game Pokémon Puzzle League as the theme song for Erika.

Lyrics

Original version

What kind of Pokémon are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside.
What kind of Pokémon are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of Pokémon are you?

Yeah, come on,
Yeah,
Uh huh, yo,

Take a Normal type like Jigglypuff,
Against the Ghostly Gengar a battle's real tough!
Thunderbolt's a great Electric attack,
Till you get Ground down by a Marowak!

What kind of Pokémon are you?
How do you do the things you do?

Don't ya Bug me, with a Caterpie,
For a Flying type the win's easy,
Good luck with Muk and its poison gas,
Make one wrong move and it'll kick your Grass,

What kind of Pokémon are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside, (yeah, what kind, what kind)
What kind of Pokémon are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of Pokémon are you?

Uh, come on, mmhmm, yeah,

Reach higher with Fire - go Flareon!
Think twice about Ice to be number one,
Water's in order if you wanna be slick,
Mewtwo is the best when you get Psychic

What kind of Pokémon are you?
How do you do the things you do?

Hitmonlee's the key for your Fighting mood,
And you can Rock 'n roll with Geodude,
Dratini comes first when you choose Dragon
But evolution's the solution if you're gonna win!

What kind of Pokémon are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside, (deep inside)
What kind of Pokémon are you?
Are you loyal through and through?
And do you have a heart that's true?
What kind of Pokémon are you?

(Yeah, give it up)
Oh,

Keep on training so you're stronger and faster,
Just can't stop till your power I master,
My plan is this: I gotta catch 'em all,
Get 'em in my Poké Ball,

What kind of Pokémon are you?
How do you do the things you do?
Share with me your secrets deep inside, (deep inside)

And do you have a heart that's true?

Oh,
Don't ya bug me with a Caterpie (Yeah that's what I'm sayin')
What kind are you?

What kind of Pokémon are you?
Thunderbolt's a great electric attack,
How do you do the things you do,
But don't get ground down by a Marowak,
What kind of Pokémon are you?
Ghostly Gengar, Watch out for Mewtwo
