🔍 How Clues Work

After each guess, you'll get feedback based on 5 categories:

🍃💧🔥 Type 1 & Type 2
How effective would your guess' types be when attacking the target Pokémon?
If types match exactly, you'll see a checkmark! ✅ Otherwise, you may see different icons depending on how effective the type is!
4x damage: Extremely effective (Ice vs Grass/Flying)
2x damage: Super effective (Fire vs Grass)
1x damage: Normal effectiveness (Normal vs Psychic)
0.5x damage: Not very effective (Water vs Fire)
0.25x damage: Mostly ineffective (Normal vs Rock/Steel)
0x damage: No effect (Normal vs Ghost)
Not Applicable: Your Pokémon is a monotype, and the target is not.
Match: Your guessed Pokémon's type matches the target's. If both Pokémon are monotypes, Type 2 will be a match
📅 Generation
Is the target from the same generation as your guess?
Generations range from 1 (Kanto) to 9 (Paldea)
Newer: Target is from a newer generation than your guess
Older: Target is from an older generation than your guess
Match: You guess belongs to the same generation as your target!
🎨 Color
Do both Pokémon share the same primary color?
Based on official Pokédex color classifications
Match: Your guess shares the same primary color as the target Pokémon
Different: Your guess has a different primary color than the target Pokémon
📏 Height
How effective would your guess' types be against the target Pokémon?
Measured in meters (e.g., Pikachu is 0.4m tall)
Taller: Target is taller than your guess
Shorter: Target is shorter than your guess
Match: Your guess is the same height as the target!
