The Pokédle game modes
Pokédle tests your Pokémon knowledge across 4 distinct modes, each giving clues in a different way:
| Mode | What you're guessing from |
|---|---|
| Classic | Guess the Pokémon from attribute clues that turn green when they match — Type 1, Type 2, habitat, colour, evolution stage, height and weight. |
| Card | A blurred Pokémon Trading Card Game image is shown; name the Pokémon. |
| Flavor | A real Pokédex flavour-text entry is your only clue — no image — identify the species from its lore. |
| Silhouette | “Who's that Pokémon?” — a blacked-out outline you name from its shape alone. |
Tips for solving Pokédle faster
- For Classic, open with a well-known Pokémon whose type and evolution stage you're sure of — matching type is the fastest way to cut the National Dex down.
- For Card, TCG collectors have the edge; distinctive card art places the generation quickly.
- For Flavor, watch for tell-tale Pokédex phrases about habitat, behaviour or evolution that pin the species.
- For Silhouette, focus on distinctive body shape — tails, wings and ears give away far more than size.
