amiibo (Japanese: アミーボ amiibo) are a line of interactive figures and cards by Nintendo. Each amiibo figure or card contains an NFC chip in its base, which allows it to interact with multiple games on both the Wii U and New Nintendo 3DS consoles using near field communication. Pokémon amiibo are the franchise's second venture into NFC collectibles, following 2013's Pokémon Rumble U NFC Figures.
Several Pokémon characters have been announced or released as part of the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U line. These figures are intended for use with the eponymous game. They also unlock minor content in games such as Super Mario Maker. In a Nintendo Direct on November 12, 2015, a card featuring Shadow Mewtwo, a bonus boss character from Pokkén Tournament, was revealed to be included in first print retail copies of the game.
An NFC reader/writer was released in October 2015 that can scan amiibo, allowing the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS to communicate with amiibo.[1]

Compatibility list
Certain games allow amiibo to write save data to it so it can be retained even when using it with a different game or system. However, a amiibo can only hold save data for one game at a time. So far, the only Pokémon amiibo-compatible games that offers this ability are Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
