Puzzle #1728. Take a small clue first, then open only the answers you want.
Publisher date: (UTC).
One possible completion using nine different default-form species. Other answers can fit; choose each species only once. Types refer to the current default form, while generation means when the species was introduced.
One matching type is not enough here: look for a default form with both Bug and Steel.
Our non-repeating example for this cell was introduced in Generation II.
The chosen species has ten letters and begins with F.
Forretress has both Bug and Steel typing. It was introduced in Generation II, which supports the second clue even though generation is not required by this cell.
Combine Bug typing with the way this species is reached by evolution. This column concerns evolving into the answer, not a later evolution out of it.
The chosen default form has only Bug typing and was introduced in Generation I.
The incoming evolution is level-up at a minimum level of 7; the seven-letter name begins with M.
Metapod has Bug typing and evolves through level-up, from a minimum level of 7. Evolving into the answer is the relationship that matters here; its later evolution is a different step.
Look for a Bug-type species reached through using an evolution item, rather than one that merely holds an item during a trade.
The example here also has Rock typing and was introduced in Generation VIII.
Its seven-letter name begins with K. The incoming evolution trigger is use-item.
Kleavor has Bug and Rock typing and evolves through using an item. This choice avoids the version-dependent trigger of Vikavolt, which has used different evolution methods in different games.
Look for the intersection of the two current types, not simply any Fairy-type or any Steel-type species.
The selected default form was introduced in Generation III.
The six-letter name begins with M; both Fairy and Steel are present in its current default form.
Mawile’s default-form types are Steel and Fairy, satisfying both category labels. The Generation III clue means when the species was introduced, not that Fairy typing existed in that generation.
The level-up category can include an additional condition; it need not mean reaching a fixed numbered level alone.
The chosen species was introduced in Generation I and has Fairy typing in its current default form.
The incoming evolution statement includes a happiness condition. The eight-letter name begins with C.
Clefairy has Fairy typing and evolves through level-up with an additional happiness condition. Level-up therefore fits even though the evolution is not described by one fixed minimum level. Its Generation I introduction predates Fairy typing.
Choose a current Fairy-type species whose incoming evolution uses an item. Keep it distinct from the answer used in the adjacent level-up cell.
This example was introduced in Generation I and has only Fairy typing in its current default form.
Its eight-letter name begins with C and ends with E; its incoming trigger is use-item.
Clefable is Fairy-type and evolves through using an item. Clefairy in the adjacent cell and Clefable here are distinct species, so using both obeys the grid’s no-repeat rule.
Introduction generation and current typing are separate checks: the species must have been introduced in Generation II and have Steel typing.
The second type of this example is Ground.
The chosen seven-letter name begins with S. No evolution-method condition applies to this cell.
Steelix was introduced in Generation II and has Steel and Ground typing, proving both labels. Its trade evolution is not needed here: this column asks for Steel typing, not an evolution method.
Use the species’ introduction generation, then check the incoming evolution trigger. Current type is not a requirement for this intersection.
The chosen example has Grass typing in its default form.
The incoming evolution has a minimum level of 16; the seven-letter name begins with B.
Bayleef was introduced in Generation II and evolves through level-up, from a minimum level of 16. Grass typing helps identify this example but is not an extra grid requirement.
Find a Generation II species reached by using an evolution item, while reserving the other selected species for their own cells.
The example here has only Grass typing in its current default form.
The nine-letter name begins with B and ends with M; its incoming evolution trigger is use-item.
Bellossom was introduced in Generation II and evolves through using an item. Its Grass type helps narrow the clue but is not part of this cell’s category pair.
