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.

Once a day
The closest games are the other Pokemon grids. Pikadoku has the same 3x3 layout but replaces a few lives with an HP bar that drains on wrong answers, and its puzzle resets at midnight in your own time zone. PokeGrid keeps the nine guesses and, like PokeDoku, 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 row and column is a type matchup clue, and no type may be used twice across the grid. Weakdle, from the same maker as Pikadoku and Weakdoku, hides one type or type pair a day for you to find by guessing Pokemon.
If you enjoy recalling Pokemon by their details, the guessing games are next. Pokédle at pokedle.net, from the maker of LoLdle, has four modes: Classic, Card, Description and Silhouette. Pokédle at pokedle.today gives you five puzzles a day, from stat comparisons to a silhouette, a pixel image, the cry and a description. Pokedle on pokedle.com runs a similar set with a blurred trading card, and PokédlePlus adds emoji and a move of the day. Pokédle at pokedle.gg keeps to one daily mode, comparing generation, type and other traits, with arrows for higher or lower values. Squirdle compares generation, types, height and weight across nine guesses, PokéRating's Daily Puzzle compares first letter, generation, types, Base Stat Total and fan rating in six, and Sqordle is plain Wordle with a Pokemon's name. Pokelingo shows a real Pokedex entry in a language you choose and asks you to name the Pokemon. TCGdle reveals a Pokemon card a part at a time, in three daily modes.
For a change of format, Pokennection and the two Pokémon Connections sites, at pokemonconnections.com and poconnections.com, each sort sixteen Pokemon into four hidden groups, Connections style. Pokennection gives you four lives, while the other two let you keep guessing. PokeCryptic gives one cryptic crossword clue a day whose answer is a Pokemon, move, item or other term from the games.
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 on our page of games like Immaculate Grid (/games-like-immaculate-grid). More anime dailies are on our page of daily anime games (/daily-anime-games), and Pokemon dailies that guess one Pokemon from clues are also on our page of daily video game guessing games (/daily-video-game-trivia).
Questions
Is there a harder PokeDoku?
Pikadoku is built as a tougher take on PokeDoku, with an HP bar that drains on wrong guesses. Weakdoku adds a twist of its own: type matchup clues with no type repeated, and nine lives.
Which games score rare Pokemon picks?
PokeDoku and PokeGrid both score each answer by how few other players chose it.
Are there Pokemon games like Wordle?
Yes. Sqordle is Wordle with a Pokemon's name, and Squirdle, the Pokédle sites and Pokedle on pokedle.com each hide one Pokemon a day for you to find from clues.
Is there a Pokemon version of Connections?
Three: Pokennection, Pokémon Connections at pokemonconnections.com and Pokémon Connections at poconnections.com each give you sixteen Pokemon to sort into four groups each day.
Are these games free?
Yes, all of them are free in the browser, some with ads.
