Guess that Pokémon

Guess That Pokémon is a free daily Pokémon Wordle. You see a zoomed-in slice of an official Pokémon artwork and have six tries to name it, the image zooms out a little after every wrong guess, so the longer you take, the more obvious it gets.

All 1,025 Pokémon from Generations 1 through 9 are in the pool. A new puzzle drops every day at midnight in your local timezone, and the same image is shared by every player, perfect for daily group chats and streak runs.

You get six guesses. Each wrong answer zooms the image out one step, revealing more of the Pokémon's silhouette, colours, and body shape.

Guesses are checked against the full National Dex spelling; the input has autocomplete so you won't lose a guess to a typo. A correct guess before your sixth attempt banks the win and extends your streak; running out of tries breaks it.

Colour and texture are the first real clue. A single flat colour usually means an early-gen Pokémon; complex gradients, metallic sheen, or fur patterns almost always point at Gen 5 or later. Note the palette before you commit.

Look at what the crop is NOT showing you. If you can only see a smooth curve with no visible limbs, you're probably looking at a snake, fish, or blob Pokémon, entire evolutionary families you can rule out at once.

Save your last two guesses for confirmation, not exploration. Once the third zoom reveals a body shape, pick the family (Fire starter final form, pseudo-legendary, Rotom appliance) and lock in the specific member on guess five.
