The daily puzzle
Nine cells, two criteria each, one grid a day.
Every cell crosses its row criterion with its column criterion: find an answer that matches both. The rarer your answer among players, the more points it scores.
All 1025 Pokémon across nine generations

How it works
- 1Fill the nine cellsTap a cell and search for your answer. It must match both its row and its column criteria, and each answer can only be used once.
- 2Three livesA wrong answer costs a life. Out of lives, the game ends, but the cells you found still count.
- 3Come back tomorrowOne game per universe per day. Playing every day grows your streak.
How points work
The rarer your answer among players, the more it scores. An answer nobody thinks of is worth far more than the obvious one. Mistakes cost a few points, and finishing fast earns a small bonus.
See the full rules →Pokédoku applies the Doku mechanic to the 1025 species of the National Pokédex. Nine cells, one criterion per row and per column, and at every intersection a Pokémon that satisfies both. Fire type crossed with Generation 1: Charmander works, Pikachu doesn't.
One grid a day, the same for everyone, with three lives and a rarity score. Free play generates unlimited grids in four levels. The game exists in English and in French, each with its own grid.
