DAILY POKÉMON PUZZLE

What is PokeSort?

PokeSort is a free daily Pokémon sorting puzzle. Each board gives you 16 Pokémon and four hidden categories. Your task is to identify the exact four groups before you use all four mistakes. Categories use facts such as each Pokémon’s usual-form types, introduction generation, Pokédex color, evolution stage, and Baby, Legendary, or Mythical status.

The Daily puzzle is shared by every player and changes once per day. Infinite mode is available for practice without affecting your daily result. No account or download is required.
