Snorlax, Marowak, and more Pokemon highlight Pokedle 140's answers (February 29, 2024)

In the event you need the answers for Pokedle 140's puzzles, the following Pokemon are the solutions:

• Classic: Snorlax
• Card Art: Starmie
• Pokedex Entry: Marowak
• Silhouette: Flareon

When it comes to the classic puzzle, the dead giveaway of Snorlax's identity is that it's an unevolved Pokemon (in Generation I, which Pokedle sticks to) with a whopping weight of 460 kilograms. Starmie's TCG card art can be gleaned due to its purple body color and massive red gem at its center, as its appearance in the Starmie V card from the Astral Radiance expansion is very pronounced.

For the Pokedex entry, two Pokemon are well-known for throwing bones: the Ground-type species Cubone and Marowak. While the line about avenging its mother can be misleading, Marowak is known for its rivalry against Mandibuzz in particular, making it the reasonable choice for the Pokedex puzzle. That leaves the silhouette puzzle, which may be the trickiest for February 29.

However, one of the major clues for the silhouette shown in the Pokedle puzzle is the fuzzy mane displayed in the image. Not too many Pokemon from Generation I sport a wild mane like that. Since its prior evolution Eevee's mane is straighter, Flareon seems like a straightforward pick since it gains a wilder appearance compared to Eevee.
