'''Pokémon Friends''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンフレンズ''' ''Pokémon Friends'') is a spin-off Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo Switch]], {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, and {{wp|Android}}. It was released worldwide on July 22, 2025.

The game was announced worldwide on July 22, 2025, at 10 p.m. JST via [[Pokémon Presents#July 22, 2025|Pokémon Presents]].

Mobile versions of the game are {{wp|Freemium|free-to-start}}, but have a limit on the amount of puzzles that can be solved per day. The Nintendo Switch version is paid, but includes the "Basic Pack" DLC (which removes the daily limit) by default.

==Blurb==

■ Fun for the Whole Family

==Gameplay==
In Pokémon Friends, the player assumes the role of an enterprising plush maker who just arrived in [[Think Town]], a place known for its production of [[Pokémon plush]]. In order to make Pokémon plush, they must untangle their [[yarn]] by solving various {{OBP|puzzle|Friends}}s. One ball of yarn is earned after solving a series of three puzzles, and it can then be put into the [[Plush-O-Matic]] to make plush.

In the mobile version, yarn can only be untangled three times per day. New players get an additional 5 untangles on their first day (not including the tutorial untangles), for a total of 8. In the Nintendo Switch version—or in the mobile version after purchasing the Basic Pack DLC—the limit on the number of times yarn can be untangled per day is customizable. It can be limited to anywhere from 1 to 10 times per day, or the limit can be removed entirely. The first time yarn is untangled each day, the player can place a stamp on their calendar to indicate that they solved puzzles that day.

[[Plush room]]s are unlocked after the player makes their first plush. Plush and [[furniture]] can be placed in plush rooms for display. In the mobile version, only one plush room is available by default. In the Nintendo Switch version, three plush rooms are available by default. Additional rooms can be made available in both versions by purchasing DLC.

[[Friend quest]]s are unlocked after the player completes each of the first 10 puzzles once. These quests are offered by residents of Think Town who are looking for plush. If the player can give the resident a plush that meets their requirements, the resident will reward the player with a piece of furniture. This also increases the player's friendship level with the people of Think Town, which rewards the player with new stamps to use on their calendar.

==Trivia==
* Many of the puzzles in Pokémon Friends were directly lifted from ''[https://think.wonderfy.inc/en/ Think!Think!]'', another educational game developed by Wonderfy Inc.
* The {{p|Deerling}} picture on the wall changes form depending on the current month: it appears in summer form during June, July, and August; autumn form during September, October, and November; winter form during December, January, and February; or spring form during March, April, and May.
* During winter, a Christmas wreath and tree are visible behind the Plush-O-Matic.
* During the player's [[birthday]], celebratory strings of flags hang from the ceiling.
* There are a few things on the home screen that can be interacted with besides the buttons; in the Nintendo Switch version, these can only be activated when the system is in handheld mode.
** Tapping the {{p|Baltoy}} toy will cause it to briefly rock from side to side.
** Tapping the plant pot housing a Pokémon toy will cause various actions to occur depending on the season:
*** In summer, the {{p|Sunflora}} toy will rock from side to side.
*** In fall, the {{p|Sudowoodo}} toy will shift its arms.
*** In winter, the {{p|Maractus}} toy will shake from side to side, making maraca sounds.
*** In spring, the Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} toy will rock from side to side, making bell sounds.
** Tapping the {{p|Wingull}} toy, which is unlocked after reaching friendship level 2, will cause it to swing around.
** Tapping the {{p|Dodrio}} toy, which is unlocked after reaching friendship level 3, will cause it to act like a drinking bird.
** Tapping the window three times will cause it to open and a {{p|Cottonee}} (for summer), {{p|Hoppip}} (for fall), {{p|Pikipek}} (for winter), or {{p|Pidove}} (for spring) will float in and land on the windowsill for a moment; the window closes after the Pokémon leaves.
** Occasionally, a {{p|Spinarak}} will appear when the screen is first loaded, hanging from the ceiling by a thread. Tapping Spinarak will cause its thread to break, and it scuttles towards the camera and disappears.

::Speculation. Enough said. Any Pokémon could be retconned to have Refrigerate as their ability. But no. I'm guessing you want them to be unprotected so you can add speculation. Sweet Veil is protected. The XY-debut attacks are protected. Why should Strong Jaw and Refrigerate be different? --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 16:04, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

== STAB? ==

Since Refrigerate is exclusive to an Ice-type Pokemon, do Normal-type moves get STAB, or can we otherwise verify the boost in power?

Ideas for testing this in the wild:
* Marchionesses in the [[Battle Chateau]] have Lv.35 {{p|Audino}}s with {{m|Entrainment}} - verify if there's a change in power before and after the ability change.
* Lv.40 wild {{p|Basculin}} know {{m|Soak}} - verify if there's a change in power before and after the type change.

--''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 18:30, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

: Nevermind, I was able to confirm the above tests myself; nullifying the ability showed a noticeable dip in the power for Normal-type moves, but Soaking Amaura's type did not. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 06:12, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

== Ability change ==

What if you changed a Pokémon's [[Ability]] from this one to another using a [[Move]] such as {{m|Entrainment}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}, or nullified the ability with {{m|Gastro Acid}}? Would they stop being {{t|Ice}}-type moves and turn back into {{t|Normal}}-type moves?[[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 17:43, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
*Nevermind; I just read what [[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] under the "STAB" heading.[[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 17:49, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

== G-Max Lapras ==

G-Max Lapras's Max Strike becomes G-Max Resonance if it has Refrigerate. I'd like to post a link but it's not allowing me. [[User:Traskforge|Traskforge]] ([[User talk:Traskforge|talk]]) 02:55, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

'''Refrigerate''' (Japanese: '''フリーズスキン''' ''Freeze Skin'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onward, it is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Amaura}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation VI====
Refrigerate causes all {{type|Normal}} moves used by the Pokémon to become {{type|Ice}} and receive a 30% [[power]] boost.

{{m|Electrify}} is applied before Refrigerate, so if the Pokémon is affected by Electrify the move becomes Electric-type and does not have its power boosted by Refrigerate. The type-changing effect is applied before {{m|Ion Deluge}}, so if both effects are applying, an originally Normal-type move will end up as a {{type|Ice}} move (as it is no longer Normal-type when Ion Deluge would be applied).

====Generation VII====
Affected moves now receive a 20% power boost.

====Generation VIII====
If {{m|Max Strike}} is selected with Refrigerate, it'll turn into {{m|Max Hailstorm}} when used. If Max Strike is instead used by a [[Gigantamax]] [[Lapras (Pokémon)|Lapras]] with Refrigerate, it will instead become {{m|G-Max Resonance}}.

====Affected moves====
The table below lists the moves affected by Refrigerate, as well as the Pokémon that can have Refrigerate and learn those moves.

Although the following moves are affected by the Ability, they currently cannot be learned by any Pokémon with Refrigerate. They may, however, be called via {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Copycat}}, or {{m|Mimic}}, or be used by a Pokémon that gained Refrigerate by an Ability like {{a|Trace}} or {{a|Receiver}} or a move such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Role Play}}.

Traskforge: /* Rewards */ new section

== Move ==

It seems the satchel in Z-A is functionally the same as the Bag in other games, so perhaps this page should only focus on the specific mechanics of the satchel in PLA. [[Satchel]] can redirect to the Bag page, and we can add a prominent link to this article on the main page. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 11:17, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

== Rewards ==

Returning a satchel can give MP and potentially one of whatever item is listed. How do both of these work? Is MP random or does it depend on something (such as the items in the satchel), and how often does it give you an item?
