Daily Red is like Wordle for Pokémon battles — how to play this addictive game for free

TL;DR: Daily Red is a free, daily Pokémon battle game where everyone gets one chance a day to defeat Red on Mt.

Silver.

Red's team stays the same, but your lineup is randomly generated every 24 hours — forcing you to win with whatever random squad you're dealt.

If your morning browser routine already includes Wordle or the Mini Crossword, there is a new fan-made puzzle game making the rounds among Pokémon fans.

Daily Red takes the ultimate end-game boss fight from the top of Mt.

Silver and turns it into a daily tactical challenge.

Instead of spending weeks raising your personal dream team, the game drops you straight into a Level 100 showdown against Red.

The catch? You do not get to pick your party.

Every 24 hours, every player worldwide is handed the exact same randomly generated lineup of six Pokémon .

Your job is to figure out how to pilot whatever unusual, bench-warming team you've been dealt to victory.

Is Daily Red an official Pokémon game? No.

Daily Red is an unofficial, free-to-play fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokémon Company .

It runs entirely in your browser with no microtransactions, ads, or sign-ups required.

How to play Daily Red Getting started takes zero downloads and no account registration.
