Pokémon Silhouette Quiz — Daily Shadow Guessing Game

Identify today's Pokémon from its silhouette in a free daily quiz spanning all nine generations. Keep guessing until the outline is solved.

READ THE OUTLINE

Ignore color and internal detail. Compare the ears, tail, stance, body proportions, and any shape that breaks the outer edge. One distinctive feature is often enough to narrow the Pokédex.

How to play

Read the outline. Name today's Pokémon.

HOW TODAY'S SHADOW IS MADE

The game converts our self-hosted Pokémon artwork into a pure-black image while preserving its transparent edge. No color or internal markings remain, so the challenge is entirely about shape.

TWO DAILY GUESSING CHALLENGES

Silhouette tests visual recognition; Pokédle compares eight Pokédex traits. Each game saves its own progress and can award trainer XP, while Connections Weekly and Streak rankings keep their existing rules.

FAQ

Does the outline change after a wrong guess?

No. Everyone sees the same complete outline for the whole UTC day; wrong guesses never reveal or remove parts.

Does it cover all nine generations?

Yes. Any of the 1025 base National Pokédex species can be today's answer.

Are alternate forms included?

Not in the first version. Regional, costume, Mega, Gigantamax, and other alternate forms are excluded so every answer maps cleanly to one Pokédex entry.

Can I keep guessing?

Yes. There is no attempt limit and no loss state. Repeating the same Pokémon does not add another guess.

Does Silhouette award XP?

Yes. A server-verified win awards trainer XP; fewer guesses earn more. It affects Level, but not the Connections Weekly or Streak boards.

Why are some outlines so difficult?

Small, rounded, or closely related Pokémon can share a similar outer shape. Use the search freely—difficulty is part of the daily mix, and guesses are unlimited.
