Games like PokeDoku: daily Pokemon grids and puzzles

PokeDoku asks you to fill a 3x3 grid with Pokemon that fit both a row and a column category. Several other sites run the same kind of daily Pokemon grid with their own twist, and a wider family of Pokemon dailies asks you to find one hidden Pokemon, sort them into groups or solve a clue about them.

The games

The closest games are the other Pokemon grids. Pikadoku has the same 3x3 layout but replaces a guess count with an HP bar that drains on wrong answers, and its puzzle resets at midnight in your own time zone. PokeGrid scores you on how rare your picks are compared with everyone else's, so naming an obscure Pokemon that fits is worth more than the obvious one. Weakdoku turns the grid into a type puzzle: each square is a type matchup, and no type may be used twice.

If you enjoy recalling Pokemon by their details, the guessing games are next. Pokedle gives you five puzzles a day, from stat comparisons to a silhouette, a pixel image, the cry and a Pokedex entry. Pokedle on pokedle.com runs a similar set with a blurred trading card. Squirdle is the Wordle-style original: compare generation, types, height and weight across nine guesses. PokeLingo shows a real Pokedex entry in a language you are learning and asks you to name the Pokemon.

For a change of format, Pokennection sorts sixteen Pokemon into four hidden groups, Connections style, and PokeCryptic gives one cryptic crossword clue a day with a Pokemon answer.

If you like the grid more than the Pokemon, the same 3x3 idea exists for anime on AnimeGrids and for films on Movie Grid, and the trivia grids for sports are listed on our page of games like Immaculate Grid.

Questions

Pikadoku and Weakdoku are often harder: Pikadoku drains HP on wrong guesses, and Weakdoku asks for type matchups with no type repeated.

Which game scores rare Pokemon picks?

PokeGrid scores each answer by how few other players chose it, so rarer Pokemon give a better score.

Are there Pokemon games like Wordle?

Yes. Squirdle, Pokedle and Pokedle on pokedle.com each hide one Pokemon a day for you to find from clues.

Are these games free?

Yes, all of them are free in the browser, some with ads.
