How to Play PokeDoku

PokeDoku is a free daily Pokémon puzzle inspired by the Immaculate Grid format. A 3×3 grid presents six clues - three along the top (columns) and three along the left side (rows). Your mission: place one Pokémon in each of the nine cells so it satisfies both the column clue and the row clue simultaneously.

Clues include Pokémon types (Fire, Water, Psychic…), generations (Gen 1 through Gen 9), Legendary status, or Mega Evolution. Search by name, pick your answer, and watch for the green confirmation - or the red flash if you miss! You have 40 total guesses. A fresh grid resets every day at midnight EST.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PokeDoku?

PokeDoku is a daily browser-based game where you fill a 3×3 grid with Pokémon matching row and column criteria such as type, generation, or special attributes. It requires no download or account.

How many guesses do I have?

You start with 40 guesses. Each incorrect answer deducts one guess regardless of whether you've tried that Pokémon in that cell before.

Can I use the same Pokémon twice?

No. Every Pokémon can only fill one cell. Once placed (or once used as a wrong guess in a different cell), it appears greyed-out in the search results.

Is there a new puzzle every day?

Yes! A brand-new grid is published daily. Your progress is saved locally so you can finish a session later.
