Poke Connections: the daily Pokémon Connections puzzle

Poke Connections is a Pokémon take on Connections. Sixteen Pokémon share four secret links, from straightforward (all Water types) to tricky (Swords of Justice, Paradox Pokémon, names with “king” in them). Select four, submit, and find every group before you make four mistakes.

How to play

• Select four Pokémon you think belong together and submit.
• “One away” means three of your four are right.
• Groups go from yellow (easiest) to purple (trickiest).

Questions

Can a Pokémon fit two groups?

No. Every board is checked so each Pokémon belongs to exactly one of the four groups.
