About these games
Pokemon Sudoku
A daily 3x3 grid with a clue on every row and every column. Each of the nine squares needs one Pokemon that satisfies both the clue for its row and the clue for its column at the same time, and no Pokemon may be used twice. Clues are drawn from properties in the local dataset — region, evolution stage, whether a Pokemon is legendary, egg group and type — so a square asking for "Kanto" across and "final evolution" down needs a Pokemon that is genuinely both.
The intersections are where it gets hard. Any single clue has dozens of valid answers; the pair usually has a handful, and occasionally the answer is a Pokemon you had forgotten shares that region or stage. Filling all nine is the goal, but each pick also gets a uniqueness score against what other players chose, so there is a second game underneath the first: find an answer that fits and that almost nobody else thought of. A new grid is scheduled daily, so everyone is working the same board.
Guess That Pokemon
A daily deduction puzzle rather than a trivia question. One answer is set for everyone each day, drawn from the full base-species pool across generations 1 through 9, and you narrow it down by guessing. Every attempt is compared against the answer using real Pokedex attributes and colour-coded: green is an exact match, amber means the type you guessed is on the answer but in the other slot, and red rules it out.
That amber state is what makes it a deduction game instead of a guessing game. Learning that a type is present but slotted the other way round eliminates a large slice of the pool in one move, so a deliberate opening guess with two common types tells you far more than a lucky shot at a favourite. The answer sits behind a silhouette that resolves as you close in, and streaks are tracked across days.
Why they are here
Both games are built from the same local Pokemon dataset as the rest of the site, so the sprites, names and dex numbers match what you will find on any Pokedex entry. If a silhouette stumps you, the dex browser is filterable by type and region, and the type chart covers the matchup data behind the team tools.
