PokéVenn: the daily Pokémon Venn diagram puzzle

PokéVenn is a free daily Pokémon puzzle. Every day there's a new three-circle Venn diagram, each circle a group of Pokémon: a type, a generation, an egg group, a body shape, legendaries… You get eight Pokémon and have to place each one in the exact region where it belongs, or outside the diagram if it fits none of the three. No sign-up, no download: it plays in the browser, on your phone or computer.

How to play PokéVenn

  1. Every day there's a Venn diagram with three circles. Each circle is a group: a type, a generation, an egg group, a body shape…
  2. You get 8 Pokémon. Each one belongs in exactly one spot: one of the 7 regions of the diagram, or outside it if it's in none of the three groups.
  3. Tap a Pokémon, then tap its spot. You can move them around as much as you like.
  4. With all 8 placed, press Check: the right ones lock in, the wrong ones go back. A check with mistakes costs a life — you have 3.
  5. Three modes, like Pokennection: Normal, Hard and Hard+, each with its own Daily.

💡 Example: with Fire, Flying and Gen 1, Talonflame goes in Fire + Flying (it's Gen 6), and Charizard in the centre.

Three difficulties

Normal
Types, generations and the best-known groups: legendaries, starters, fossils, babies.
Hard
Adds trickier groups: Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax forms, single-type Pokémon, Pokémon that don't evolve.
Hard+
For Pokédex experts: egg groups and body shapes, the same ones Pokennection uses in Hard+.

What the circles can be

All 18 types, the nine generations (Kanto to Paldea), the 15 egg groups, the 14 Pokédex body shapes, and categories like Legendary, Mythical, Sub-Legendary, Pseudo-Legendary, Ultra Beast, Paradox, Starter, Fossil and Baby Pokémon. Every one of the 1025 species can show up.

Frequently asked questions

›Is PokéVenn free?

Yes. It's free and needs no account. An optional account (just your email) saves your progress across devices and puts you in the daily ranking.

›When does the daily puzzle change?

At midnight, in your own time zone. Each difficulty has its own Daily, and you can play past days from the archive with the date picker.

›What happens if I put a Pokémon in the wrong region?

Nothing until you check. When you press Check with all eight placed, the right ones lock in and the wrong ones go back to the tray. A check with mistakes costs one of your three lives.

›What is the region outside the circles?

The spot for the Pokémon that belongs to none of the three groups. It counts like any other region.

›Do regional forms and Mega Evolutions count?

No: the puzzle is about species, so each Pokémon counts with its base form's data (types, generation, egg groups).

›Is there an unlimited mode?

Yes. Unlimited gives you a new random diagram whenever you want, in any of the three difficulties.

›Where does the Pokémon data come from?

From Pokennection's Pokédex groups and PokéAPI. Types and generations are computed from the Pokédex itself.
