Pokémon Connections (poconnections)

Poconnections puts sixteen Pokémon on a board each day at midnight UTC, numbered and dated (No. 076 on 22 October 2026; No. 001 ran on 8 August 2026). Four groups of four are hidden among them, and every board has exactly one valid solution, with each Pokémon fitting only one group. The groups are colour-coded by difficulty: Easy is a category you can name on sight, such as Poison-types; Medium is a single clear property that is less obvious, such as purple Pokémon; Hard needs real Pokédex knowledge, such as Fairy-types or a generation; and Tricky is built to overlap the other three as much as possible.

You select four Pokémon and press Submit. Unlike Connections, there is no losing: a wrong guess only adds to your attempt count, and the aim is to clear the board in as few attempts as possible. Shuffle and Clear buttons help you look at the board afresh.

Each day has two boards: Classic, where the groups are chosen to overlap and bait you, and No-overlap, a gentler board for the same date. A Hint button helps when you are stuck, and weekly, streak and level leaderboards rank signed-in players on the Classic board. Past boards stay in an answer archive once their day has ended.

Beside the daily there are Unlimited boards, a daily Pokémon Wordle, a Community section and a Create mode for making your own boards. It is free with no sign-up and no ads, and an optional sign-in tracks experience points. The game can be played in English, German, Indonesian and Dutch. It is a fan project, not made by Nintendo or The Pokémon Company.
