Connections

Every link in a PokéWired chain is a connection — a rule that the two Pokémon it joins must both satisfy. The daily Pokémon puzzle draws from 66 different connections, from simple ones like sharing a type to tricky ones like evolving with the same stone. This is the complete list, grouped by theme. Tap any connection for a full explanation and real Pokémon examples.

Type connections are the backbone of most chains — they ask about a Pokémon's typing, its weaknesses and resistances, and how one type fares against another in battle.

Stat connections compare raw numbers — Speed, Attack, Defense, HP, base-stat totals and build — so they reward knowing which Pokémon is faster, bulkier or simply stronger.

Evolution connections look at where a Pokémon sits in its family: which stage it is, how long its line is, and how it evolves — by level, by stone or by another method.

Pokédex connections use the descriptive data behind every entry: colour, body shape, category, egg group, habitat, abilities and the Pokédex number itself.

Generation connections group Pokémon by the game they debuted in, from Kanto (Gen 1) all the way to the newest region.

Special-group connections ask whether two Pokémon share a rare label — legendary, mythical, starter, fossil, baby, paradox and more — so they test your deeper Pokédex knowledge.
