The Pokemon-focused answers for Pokedle on April 1, 2024, have been revealed. This daily quiz game (flipped upside-down for April Fool's Day) sees players test their Pocket Monsters knowledge by determining various creatures' identities across four puzzles, including a Wordle-styled "Classic" puzzle, one based on TCG card art, as well as puzzles centered on Pokedex entries and silhouettes.

Kakuna, Rhydon, and other Pokemon included in the answers for Pokedle 172 (April 1, 2024)

If Pokedle players are stuck on any puzzles, they can find the full list of Pokemon Pokedle answers for April 1 below:

• Classic: Kakuna
• Card Art: Persian
• Pokedex Entry: Rhydon
• Silhouette: Magnemite

Determining the answer for the Classic puzzle should be straightforward once fans narrow down their guesses to the realm of Generation I Pokemon that Pokedle currently uses. In the Kanto region, a species that has evolved once has a yellow body and is a Bug/Poison-type suggests the answer is Kakuna, the intermediary evolution between Weedle and Beedrill.

The TCG card art puzzle should also be a simple conclusion. Even with the blurred card art, players will notice a slender, tan-like feline body, which in Generation I immediately conjures the visage of Persian. The cat Pokemon and evolution of Meowth is hard to mistake, thanks to its slender figure and quadrupedal feline appearance.

The Pokedex entry puzzle is tricky, especially because it claims the answer is "still forgetful." However, fans of Pokemon Crystal will remember that the creature Rhyhorn's Pokedex entry states that it often forgets what it's doing once it begins charging its prey. This means that its evolution Rhydon would be more intelligent, albeit still forgetful, making it the Pokedex puzzle answer.

That leaves the silhouette puzzle, and players will immediately recognize a U-shaped figure on the side of the Pokemon silhouette's body. With Generation I still being the framework for answers, the most reasonable guess would be Magnemite, given its small circular body and the U-shaped magnets that flank both sides of its body.
