Practice runs are unlimited, but only one proper battle is allowed.

PokéDoku: A grid game where you guess the most obscure Pokémon based on categories. Rare Pokémon scores more points, and you can't repeat Pokémon. Categories change daily and are chosen by community content creators.

PokéPalette: Guess the daily Pokémon using only its three most prominent colors. You get four chances per guess, and a leaderboard tracks your score against other players. A multiplayer mode is also available.

PokéMap: Test your knowledge of where to catch wild Pokémon in Kanto or Johto. You must choose the correct location for each Pokémon, with three strikes before the game ends. Unlimited and adventure modes are also available.

PokéCryptic: A cryptic crossword-style puzzle where each answer is a specific Pokémon. You must decipher the wordplay indicators to find the correct Pokémon. An Instagram account provides hints and solutions.

Pokéle: A guessing game where you must determine a daily Pokémon based on categories like type, generation, evolution stage, color, and habitat. Unlimited guesses are allowed, and a TCG mode is also included.
