Agamer13: I added a section about how puzzles work

{{incomplete}}
'''Puzzles''' are the main feature of [[Pokémon Friends]]. They are played to get different types of [[yarn]], which you can use in the [[Plush-O-Matic]], to make all kinds of [[Pokémon Plush]].
==Overall gameplay==
When you press the "Untangle" button you get a series of 3 puzzles to complete. Each puzzle has a time limit and a series of challenges.

In the Mobile version you are only aloud to play once per day, but if you get the Basic Pack DLC, or Play the Nintendo Switch Version you get to play as many puzzles as you want.

When you complete a part of the challenge, the bar in the top left corner will light up. Once all parts of the bar is filled, the puzzle is finished and the screen will say "Good Job".

If you are stuck then pressing the [[Koffing (Pokémon)|Koffing]] button will reset that part of the puzzle

When all 3 levels are complete, a screen will show how much [[yarn]] you untangled. If you get a very big amount of untangled yarn, you'll get "Very Nice Yarn"

==Puzzle levels==
Each time a puzzle is completed successfully within the time limit, the puzzle's level will increase. This causes it to become more challenging. Puzzles can range in level from 0 to 9, and the levels are represented by different medals on the High Scores menu:
* Level 1–3: [[File:Friends puzzle level icon 1.png|60px]] Poké Ball
* Level 4–6: [[File:Friends puzzle level icon 2.png|60px]] Great Ball
* Level 7–8: [[File:Friends puzzle level icon 3.png|60px]] Ultra Ball
* Level 9: [[File:Friends puzzle level icon 4.png|60px]] Master Ball

Agamer13: Just merged the tables of yes and nos

[[File:Tangled Yarn.png|thumb|250px|My yarn's a total mess! I'll need to untangle it before I can make any plush...]]
'''Yarn''' is an item in [[Pokémon Friends]]. It can be earned by completing {{OBP|puzzle|Friends}}s and is used to produce [[Pokémon plush]] when given to the [[Plush-O-Matic]]. Two balls of yarn can also be used from the [[catalog]] to make any kind of plush that the player has already made previously, excluding rare plush.

Each type of yarn also comes in a "Pretty Nice" variety, which is visually the same as the normal variety except it has a sparkly filter over it. Using Pretty Nice yarn in the Plush-O-Matic doubles the odds of getting a rare plush and gives the player a 25% chance to get a second plush from the same yarn.

To get a small yarn ball, the total score must be zero. Accumulating five small yarn balls allows to combine them into a random type of regular yarn ball.
