How to approach it
Treat this as a breadth test rather than a recall test. The scoring bands tell you that the middle of the dex is where the value sits, so resist the first three or four names that surface and instead work through the roster generation by generation, listing species you have never used on a team. A useful filter is familiarity: if a creature appears on lunchboxes or in a cartoon opening, it is probably crowded. If you only know it from a dex screen, a trade evolution or a post-game route, it is likely to sit in a thinner band. Commit to one name rather than hedging, and pick the one you can spell and classify confidently, because a misspelled or misremembered entry may not register at all.
Get a hint
Start from the sheer size of the roster: more than a thousand creatures have been catalogued across the generations, so the obvious household names are only a thin layer at the top.
A little more
Move past the starters, the box legends and the mascots that appear on merchandise, and think about the species that only show up in one generation's regional dex or in a late-game area.
One step further
Aim for something you recognise from a dex listing rather than from a cartoon episode — a single-stage oddity or an awkward middle evolution whose name you have read far more often than you have heard it spoken.

Why these answers count
The reveal covered 1025 recorded answers, and the shape of the scoreboard is unusually flat at the top: 919 entries cleared 60 points, with 527 of those landing on 85 and just one reaching 100. That single perfect pick, Shedinja, is a species most players know only as a strange, shell-like evolution with a one-hit-point gimmick, so naming it looks like a genuine act of recall rather than reflex. The 85 band is packed with the dex's quiet middle — Abomasnow, Accelgor, Alomomola, Amoonguss, Anorith, Applin — creatures that are real and memorable to anyone who has played through a given generation but rarely the first name on anyone's lips. The 60-point tier, by contrast, is where the crowded picks live: starters, box legendaries and cartoon mascots that hundreds of players submit at once. Rarity is the whole mechanic here, so the further a name sits from the franchise's marketing surface, the more it is worth.
