Some people like to brag about their Pokémon knowledge, but it's rare that they can put it to the test. Now with Pokedoku, fans can really how off how much they know about Pokémon. The concept of the game is really simple, but some of these squares are really tough to figure out.
How does Pokedoku work?
Pokedoku basically takes the basic gameplay of Sudoku and uses Pokémon related categories to decide what should be on the squares instead of math. It's played on a 9x9 tile square, just like typical Sudoku. On the left of the square will be three categories (one of each row) and on top of the square will be three more categories (one for each column).
The categories are mostly Pokémon types. For example, if a square has Electric on its side and Flying on top of it, Zapdos would be a good answer. The final category on both sides of the square, though, will be something special. This can be a region (Kanto, Johto, Paldea, etc.) or a certain class of Pokémon (Legendary, Mythical, Ultra Beast, etc.).
The game also lets you know how many other players made your guess. Since a lot of Pokémon share types, sometimes you need to be careful what you place in that square. Cramorant would fit for a Water and Flying square, for example, but may not score as well as Gyarados.
This will really put your knowledge to the test, given some of the crazy combinations that appears in the game. It took me a good 15 minutes before I remembered there actually is a Bug-type Legendary Pokémon (shoutout to Genesect).
