PokeGuessr
A daily Pokemon guessing game where you narrow down that day's Pokemon using feedback on type, generation, dex number, and stats, across three modes: classic, silhouette, and stat.
PokeGuessr is a daily Pokemon guessing game built on the same one-answer-per-day format as Wordle, but the clues are Pokemon facts instead of letters. Each guess is compared against the day's mystery Pokemon, and the game reports type overlap, generation direction, dex number feedback, and stat feedback so you can narrow the field with every attempt. The site offers three modes: a clue-based classic mode, a silhouette mode where you guess from a Pokemon's outline, and a stat mode built around stat comparisons.
What is PokeGuessr?
PokeGuessr selects one Pokemon as the answer each day, with a new daily answer chosen at every UTC day rollover. You submit Pokemon as guesses, and after each one the game returns feedback across several axes at once. In the site's own words, you use type overlap, generation direction, dex number, and stat feedback to narrow the answer. That combination is the core loop. You are not guessing blind; each wrong guess tells you something about the target's typing, era, position in the Pokedex, and stat profile.
Rather than committing to a single clue mechanic, PokeGuessr runs three modes on one site. Classic is the full multi-clue deduction game, silhouette has you identify a Pokemon from its outline, and stat is built around comparing stat profiles. The site also keeps the last 90 days of past daily puzzles playable in an archive, so missing a day or wanting extra practice does not mean a puzzle is gone for good. Once you finish a puzzle, you can copy your result to share it.
The site openly positions itself around the Pokemon Wordle style of play. Its own FAQ asks whether PokeGuessr is a Pokemon Wordle game, and the homepage states that it targets Pokemon guessing game and Pokemon Wordle intent without locking the product to one mode. In practice that means the familiar daily-puzzle rhythm is there, but with several ways to approach the same kind of deduction.
No creator or studio is named on the site, and no launch date is listed, so PokeGuessr's origin cannot be pinned down from the site itself. What the site makes clear is who it is for: the game rewards players who already know the Pokedex well enough to reason from partial information, since useful guessing depends on knowing roughly where Pokemon fall by generation, number, and typing. The overall feel is closer to a quiz for Pokemon veterans than a casual game.
How to play PokeGuessr
- Open PokeGuessr at pokeguessr.io
- Pick a mode: classic, silhouette, or stat
- Enter a Pokemon as your first guess
- Read the feedback, which covers type overlap, generation direction, dex number, and stats in classic mode, the outline in silhouette mode, or stat comparisons in stat mode
- Keep guessing and use each new piece of feedback to rule Pokemon in or out until you land on the correct answer
- Copy your result to share how your day went once you solve it
Tips and strategy
- Use your first guess as a probe rather than a serious attempt. A Pokemon from a middle generation with a mid-range dex number gives you the most information for splitting the remaining field.
- Read the generation direction clue first. It cuts the candidate pool down to an era before you worry about typing.
- Treat type overlap as a filter rather than an answer. Many Pokemon share a type, so combine it with the dex number feedback to close in.
- Keep a mental or written list of where each generation starts and ends in the Pokedex. It speeds up narrowing once you know the target's generation.
- If clue-based deduction is not clicking, try the silhouette or stat mode. Recognizing an outline or a stat spread uses different knowledge than reading clue text.
- Replay recent days from the 90-day archive to practice reading the feedback faster before you try to keep a streak going.

PokeGuessr FAQ
Is PokeGuessr free to play?
Yes. PokeGuessr runs in the browser with no paywall or account requirement mentioned anywhere on the site.

You guess Pokemon one at a time, and the game tells you how each guess compares to the day's answer. In classic mode the feedback covers type overlap, generation direction, dex number, and stats; silhouette mode has you identify an outline; stat mode is based on stat comparisons.
When does PokeGuessr reset, and can I play old puzzles?
A new daily answer is selected every UTC day, and the archive keeps the last 90 days of past puzzles playable if you want to go back.
Is PokeGuessr like Wordle?
It follows the same one-puzzle-a-day format and includes a copy-your-result sharing feature, but the clues are Pokemon-specific: type, generation, dex number, stats, or a silhouette, rather than letter placement. The site's own FAQ addresses the Pokemon Wordle comparison directly.
What modes does PokeGuessr have?
Three: classic, which uses type, generation, dex number, and stat feedback; silhouette, which has you guess from a Pokemon's outline; and stat, which is based on comparing stat profiles.
