Finding a day in this list

Rows are grouped by month and sorted newest first. The # column shows the Europe puzzle number for that date, and the summary column spells out every answer: Classic, Silhouette, Flavor Text and Card, each labeled Europe or America. Click the date and you land on that day's full solution on the month page, with the same answers laid out mode by mode.

Pokedle resets at 06:00 UTC, and every entry in this archive carries a publish time of exactly 06:00 UTC on its date. A new row therefore appears at the reset, not at midnight. If you're in New York and it's late evening, the row for tomorrow's date is not there yet, and that's expected.

Europe, America and the puzzle number

Pokedle serves a Europe puzzle and an America puzzle, and our entries record a puzzle number for each. In this window the two regions showed the same number, with identical answers in all four modes, on 24 of the 40 dates. On the other 16 dates the America puzzle carried the next number up, so America was one puzzle ahead of Europe that day.

We checked every pair: no puzzle number in the archive ever appears with two different sets of answers. That makes the number the most reliable way to look up a past game. If you remember playing #1083, search the page for 1083 and you'll find it, whether it was listed under Europe, America or both. Four numbers (#1063, #1086, #1093 and #1095) show up only on the America side, and #1055 only on the Europe side, because of where the offset days fell.

A worked example shows why. The row for October 5 lists #1089 for both regions: Pidgeot in Classic, Pikachu in Silhouette, Farfetchd in Flavor Text and Poliwrath in Card. The October 6 row repeats #1089 for Europe with the same four answers, while America moves on to #1090 with Snorlax, Ekans, Machop and Slowbro. On October 7, Europe reaches #1090 and America #1091. If you played Snorlax as a Classic answer, you'll find it under October 6 (America) and October 7 (Europe), and both rows agree that it was #1090.

The Europe number sits still on consecutive dates three times in this window (September 30, October 6 and October 11) and skips one number three times (September 10, October 3 and October 10). Those are exactly the days a date-only search goes wrong, which is why we recommend the number.

Forty-one puzzles, counted mode by mode

Each of the 41 puzzle numbers has one answer per mode. The last column counts how many of a mode's answers also turned up, on some other puzzle in the window, as the answer to a different mode.

Did any Pokémon repeat inside a single mode?

No. Within each mode, all 41 answers were different Pokémon. Classic never gave the same Pokémon twice in these 41 puzzles, and neither did Silhouette, Flavor Text or Card. Repeats only happened across modes: of the 105 Pokémon, 63 appeared once, 26 twice, 15 three times and one, Machop, four times, once in each mode.

Machop's run is a good picture of how the reuse works: Card on #1061, Classic on #1067, Silhouette on #1078 and Flavor Text on #1090. Four different formats, spread over 30 puzzles. This is an observation from 41 puzzles, not a rule Pokedle publishes, so don't rule out yesterday's Classic answer on that basis alone.

The modes didn't reuse each other evenly, either. Flavor Text was the most self-contained mode: only 20 of its 41 answers turned up anywhere else, and it shared just 7 Pokémon with Card, the smallest overlap of any pair. Classic was the most connected, with 28 of its answers reappearing in another mode.

Sixteen Pokémon that kept coming back

Every Pokémon that answered three or more times in the window, with the puzzle number and mode of each appearance.

Cross-mode echoes: how close together

Counting every time a Pokémon came back after an earlier appearance gives 59 returns. The median distance was 12 puzzles and the longest was 40. Ten returns came within three puzzles and 20 within seven. The five tightest were one puzzle apart:

• Primeape — Classic on #1062, Flavor Text on #1063.
• Flareon — Silhouette on #1069, Classic on #1070.
• Marowak — Card on #1084, Classic on #1085.
• Seadra — Classic on #1087, Silhouette on #1088.
• Dratini — Silhouette on #1093, Flavor Text on #1094.

Using old answers to sharpen Classic

Classic is the only Pokedle mode where a miss gives you information. Each guess colors seven attributes: type, generation, color, habitat, evolution stage, height and weight. Generation, height and weight come with an arrow pointing toward the answer, and a yellow on type means one of the two types matches but in the other slot. That makes past answers useful as drills. Pick a Classic answer from the table, say Kabutops on #1059, and play it in your head from your usual opener: what would each column show, and which second guess would cut the pool hardest?

Done for a week of archive answers, this shows quickly whether your opener is pulling its weight. If the generation arrow keeps pointing the same way from your first guess, the opener sits at the edge of the range and wastes the column. The Pokedle guide explains the splitting opener this kind of practice is testing.

The other three modes are recognition tests, so the archive works there as a study list instead. Since 42 of the 105 Pokémon in this window appeared in more than one mode, seeing a Pokémon's outline, Pokédex text and card art side by side pays off directly. Silhouette and Card shared 18 Pokémon here, the largest overlap of any two modes.

A simple weekly routine: on Sunday, open the archive, take the last seven Classic answers, and for each write down the color your opener would have produced in every column before checking against what you know of the Pokémon. Then do the same for the second guess you'd normally make. The aim isn't to memorize answers, since none repeated in Classic during these 41 puzzles, but to see whether your first two guesses consistently leave a short list. When they don't, the column that let you down is usually generation or habitat.

What this archive does not contain

Each entry records the answer name for every mode and region, plus the puzzle number and publish time. It doesn't store the Classic attribute row, your guess count or anything about how hard a day was. Names appear in the spelling Pokedle's data uses, which is why you'll see Nidoran-f, Nidoran-m, Mr-mime and Farfetchd in the summaries.

One more number from the same window: of the 84 answer slots in puzzles #1075 to #1095, 41 were Pokémon that had already answered something in #1055 to #1074. Roughly half of the later answers were familiar names in a new mode, which is the strongest argument this page can make for keeping up with the archive. Today's puzzle is on the Pokedle answers today page.
