Machoke, Poliwag, and more Pokemon included in the answers for Pokedle 161 (March 21, 2024)

For the full slate of Pokedle answers on March 21, 2024, fans can check down below:

• Classic: Machoke
• Card Art: Ditto
• Pokedex Entry: Poliwag
• Silhouette: Seaking

Determining the Classic answer is tricky because Pokedle only uses Generation I Pokemon at the moment, and the clues claim the answer is a purple Fighting-type that has evolved once, which doesn't necessarily fit any Gen I creature. However, fans of older Pokemon games may recall that Machoke has purple skin in some sprite art. This suddenly makes Machoke as the Classic answer make more sense.

The TCG card art gives its answer away pretty easily by the fact that the creature depicted has a pink and blobby body. Out of all Generation I 'mons, the amorphous Ditto in its non-disguised form fits the bill easily.

Next up is the Pokedex puzzle, which can be a bit confusing based on the clue since most Pokemon know how to walk perfectly fine. However, one might recall that Poliwag is based on a tadpole and has only recently grown legs, so it needs to strengthen its legs and walk often until it evolves into the more sturdy Poliwhirl and Poliwrath or the froglike Politoed.

That just leaves the silhouette puzzle, and the silhouette clue doesn't give Pokemon fans much to work with. However, fans will notice what appears to be fins, a horn, and a set of lips in the lower end of the silhouette. This leaves the Generation I answers as either Goldeen or its evolution Seaking, but the latter wins out due to the sheer size of the horn and fins.
