If Pokedle players need the full list of answers for April 8, 2024, they can be found below:

• Classic: Bellsprout
• Card Art: Chansey
• Pokedex Entry: Nidoran♂
• Silhouette: Dewgong

Figuring out the Classic puzzle might seem daunting at first, but is made immensely easier by narrowing down guesses to the Generation I Pokemon that Pokedle is currently using. In that light, for a green/yellow Pocket Monster that hasn't evolved and is a Grass/Poison-type species, it's hard not to conclude that Bellsprout is the sensible answer.

For the TCG card art puzzle, even though the art is blurred, players can make out the round pink body of a Pokemon along with what appears to be a pouch with a white orb-like object inside of it. Going back to Generation I species, a creature of this description fits in perfectly with Chansey, the kind-hearted Pocket Monster that offers eggs from its pouch to heal others.

The Pokedex puzzle's clue, when working with Gen I Pokemon, makes it clear that the answer has large upright ears and a poisonous sting. This narrows the guesses down to the Nidoran evolutionary family, but when it comes to the largest ears of these options, Nidoran♂ makes the most sense, and it's still plenty poisonous thanks to the barbs on its ears and head.

The silhouette puzzle may be the trickiest for April 8, 2024. Players will see a long and slender body and what appears like a fin to the left of the silhouette. The right side of the silhouette seems to lead up to a point, perhaps a tail. When looking at creatures from the Kanto region, Dewgong makes for a compelling guess as well as an accurate answer.
