What is Daily Red?
Daily Red is a free daily Pokémon battle puzzle you play in your browser. Every day at midnight in your time zone, every player in the world gets the same six level 100 Pokémon from the first three generations, and one official battle against Red at the top of Mt. Silver.
The battle works like a Game Boy Advance Pokémon game: each turn you pick one of four moves or switch. Red always uses the same six Pokémon in the same order and always leads with Pikachu, so the challenge is reading type matchups and planning your switches. A battle takes about two minutes.
Like Wordle, you get one attempt a day, a streak to protect and a spoiler-free grid of squares to share. Practice battles are unlimited and do not touch your record. It is an unofficial fan game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Daily Red free?
Yes. Daily Red is free to play in your browser with no signup.
Is Daily Red like Wordle?
It shares Wordle's daily ritual: one puzzle for everyone, a streak and a shareable grid. But there is no guessing. It is a real Pokémon battle where you read type matchups and decide when to switch.
How do you beat Red in Daily Red?
Red always leads with Pikachu, so a Ground-type lead takes no damage from its Electric moves. Rock moves hit Charizard four times as hard, physical attacks break Snorlax faster, and Dark, Ghost or Bug moves are strong against Espeon.
Can I play Daily Red more than once a day?
You get one official battle a day for your record and streak, but practice battles are unlimited.
