Pokémon Coffee Personality Quiz: Find Your Starter Match

This started on my counter one summer. I was holding a cold brew, barely awake, when my best friend looked over and said, “You’re definitely a Bulbasaur.” Not even joking. Somehow that one comment turned into a full-blown Pokémon coffee personality quiz.

And honestly? It tracks. Your starter says something about you. So does your coffee order. Mix the two and suddenly it all makes sense.

Let’s see where you land.

Bulbasaur = Herbal Cold Brew

You take your time. You don’t rush the morning, and your coffee shouldn’t either. You’re barefoot in the backyard, journaling, while everyone else is yelling about deadlines.

Drink Match: Lavender Mint Cold Brew
It’s calm. Slightly floral. No espresso chaos here.

How to make it:

• 2 tablespoons coarse coffee
• 1 teaspoon dried lavender
• A few mint leaves
• 2 cups cold water

Toss it all in a jar. Let it sit in the fridge overnight. Strain in the morning, pour over ice, done.

Charmander = Spicy Mocha

You’re bold and probably talking before your coffee’s even kicked in. You don’t sip—you charge ahead.

Drink Match: Mexican Mocha
Cinnamon, cocoa, and a kick of heat. Strong, but fun.

How to make it:

• Brew 1 cup strong coffee
• Stir in:
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A tiny pinch of cayenne
  • Splash of vanilla
• Add milk or oat milk if you want it softer
• Honey if you need sweet

Squirtle = Vanilla Iced Latte

You’re the steady one. Chill under pressure. The calm in every storm.

Drink Match: Iced Vanilla Latte
Simple, smooth, kind of perfect.

How to make it:

• Fill a glass with ice
• Add 1–2 shots espresso or strong brewed coffee
• Pour in oat milk or regular milk
• Stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup

Quick Vanilla Syrup:
Heat 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Cool and keep in the fridge.

Pikachu = Fizzy Yerba Mate with Lemon

You’re the one who’s already working when everyone else hits snooze. Coffee’s fine, but you need more spark.

Drink Match: Electric Yerba Mate
Bright, citrusy, and seriously underrated.

How to make it:

• Steep 1 yerba mate tea bag in 8 oz hot water
• Let it cool
• Squeeze in fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 teaspoons)
• Top with sparkling water
• Honey if you like sweet

Drink it cold and get moving.

Jigglypuff = Honey Lavender Tea Latte

Your mornings are soft. You want warm socks, quiet music, and a drink that feels like a nap in a mug.

Drink Match: Honey Lavender Tea Latte
It’s floral, comforting, and exactly the vibe.

How to make it:

• Steep 2 Earl Grey bags with 1 tsp dried lavender
• Warm 1 cup milk or oat milk
• Add 1 teaspoon honey
• Pour milk over tea
• Optional: froth it if you’re feeling fancy

---

Snorlax = Sweet Cream Cold Brew

You like quiet mornings and coffee that tastes like dessert. You’re not in a rush. You’re here to enjoy the cup.

Drink Match: Cold Brew with Sweet Cream
Reliable. Satisfying. The opposite of chaos.

How to make it:

• Start with a cup of cold brew
• Mix separately:
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • Tiny splash vanilla
• Pour the cream over the cold brew like a gentle cloud

You made it through the Pokémon coffee personality quiz, and now you know which drink gets your vibe. Screenshot it. Make it. Drink it. Or share it with your chaotic Charmander friend who probably needs to switch to decaf.
