Pokémon Dash (Japanese: ポケモンダッシュ) is a Pokémon racing game for Nintendo DS. It is the first Pokémon game for Nintendo DS and the first game featuring Munchlax. You play as Pikachu, sliding the stylus across the touch screen in order to keep Pikachu moving, and competing against other Pokémon in the various game modes and GPs.

To make the player familiar with the game control, the first thing the player will do is play the practise mode. After completing it, the various game modes and GPs are accessible.

The game has 5 Cups: Green Cup, White Cup, Blue Cup, Yellow Cup and Red Cup, each consisting of 5 courses. The courses may differ in the different GPs and the other game modes. In order to unlock a new GP, the player needs to complete the previous GP first by winning all its five cups.

There is also a mode which allows the player to create his/her own cups with courses made of Pokémon sprites from the GBA Versions Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon Emerald. This mode will be unlocked together with Hard GP, after you have completed the Regular GP. For detailed information on those special courses, see Special Courses.

Single Player

Regular GP and Hard GP

In these two GPs, the player races from checkpoint to checkpoint in a specified order. The player competes with about equally sized Pokémon.

Expert GP

In the Expert GP, the player starts from the hot-air balloon, having a view over the whole course. When the player starts diving to the ground, the race begins. All checkpoints have to be reached, but in no specified order. This gives the player the opportunity to choose where to start the race and allows him/her to play his/her own way and strategy. The reason why it's called Expert GP is that the player has to find out the best way around the course in order to be the first to reach all checkpoints. Additionally, the player will now also compete with larger Pokémon, for example Blaziken or Mightyena, making the races even more difficult.

Time Attack

Multiplayer

Plus, there are three special courses that can be downloadable from the official events that will stars Munchlax, Surfing Pikachu and Flying Pikachu.
