THE FIELD GUIDE
Think differently. Dive deeper.
Pokémon Krillion is a daily trivia game about finding the answers that other trainers might overlook. You get seven prompts and twenty seconds for each one. Every valid Pokémon earns progress toward the bottom of the ocean, but a more unexpected answer can take you much deeper. The goal is a perfect 7,000-meter dive.
How to play Pokémon Krillion
Start the daily dive and read the first prompt carefully. Type a Pokémon name into the answer box and choose a suggestion or submit it directly. If your answer is valid, the round ends and its depth is added to your total. If it does not fit, you can try again while the timer is running. When time runs out, you move on with zero meters for that round. There are seven rounds in total.
Names and accepted alternate spellings come from the local game data. A single-character typo is accepted when it points unambiguously to one Pokémon. Different forms have their own names. A plain species name refers to its default form. Look closely at the prompt for any specific condition. Move questions state their version scope: a Pokémon may learn a move in some games but not others.
How are rarity and depth calculated?
Rarity here is an editorial estimate of how recognizable an answer is, not a measurement of what real players chose. We assign each species an editorial familiarity tier, with a neutral baseline where no specific estimate exists. Within each prompt, we calculate the tied midpoint percentile across valid species, then scale the highest percentile in that prompt to 100. Less familiar answers can score more meters. Each answer is worth up to 1,000 meters, so seven strong choices can reach 7,000 meters.
Pokémon data and eligibility are prepared in advance from PokeAPI data, rather than queried from an external service while you play. If a prompt includes a move, its stated version scope matters. The answer pages reveal the full eligible list and explain the scoring so you can check a round after your dive.
When does the daily challenge reset?
A new daily challenge begins at midnight in New York, using the America/New_York time zone. This automatically follows daylight saving time. Everyone gets the same seven prompts for that date. The 30-day set repeats after its cycle; repeated dives are not new questions. Your daily result, streak, and personal best are saved in this browser on this device. Clearing site data or changing devices may remove them.
Daily dive or practice?
The daily challenge is one shared set per day and is designed to be played once. Practice draws a different set from the available prompt pool and can be repeated whenever you want. Practice is useful for learning the rules, testing your Pokémon knowledge, and finding less obvious answers without affecting your daily streak.
How is this different from the original Krillion?
This is an independent, Pokémon-themed fan interpretation of the rare-answer trivia idea. It adds Pokémon-specific categories, local autocomplete and a timed seven-round daily dive. It is not an official Pokémon or Krillion product, and it is not affiliated with Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, or Krillion.
