What is Pokerating?
Pokerating is a daily Pokémon guessing puzzle inspired by Wordle. Each day, players try to identify a mystery Pokémon using clues about its name, generation, types, base stats, and community rating. The game combines knowledge of Pokémon with the popularity ratings provided by other players.
How to play Pokerating
You have six guesses to figure out the daily Pokémon. After each guess, you'll see whether your guess's starting letter is earlier or later in the alphabet than the mystery Pokémon, and whether its generation is earlier or later. You'll also see if the types match, whether its Base Stat Total is higher or lower, and whether the mystery Pokémon is rated higher or lower than your guess on the site's rating scale.
Tips & strategy
- Start with a Pokémon that has common typing and a mid-range BST to get useful feedback on multiple clues at once.
- Use the alphabet clue to narrow down the name quickly; pay attention to whether your guess's letter comes earlier or later than the target.
- Generation clues can help you focus your search on a specific Pokédex region.
- Remember that single-type Pokémon are treated as having no secondary type, so the type comparison may show 'None' for one slot.
- Track the rating clue against your guess's rating to gauge how popular the target might be among other players.
