Gameplay

In Pokémon Rumble Rush, the player is an adventurer helping the Adventurers Club in researching new islands and the Pokémon that live there. Callie from the Adventurers Club assists the player throughout the game.

Gameplay involves the player controlling a Toy Pokémon to explore various stages filled with wild Pokémon. To clear the stage, the player must successfully defeat the Boss Pokémon at the end of the stage. The player's Pokémon will move automatically towards the nearest wild Pokémon, although the player can swipe the screen to change direction or dodge attacks. The player can tap the screen to initiate an attack. After the Tutorial, the Pokémon will also attack on its own. Holding down before releasing will unleash a Charged Attack, which has a larger hitbox and deals almost three times more damage.

Catching

When a wild Pokémon is defeated, there is a chance that the Pokémon will join the player's team. Pokémon with sparkles will always join the team when defeated. In addition, Pokémon that become dazed after being attacked will also be guaranteed to join once defeated. Dazed Pokémon do not move or attack, and are represented by yellow stars on top of them. The rarity of the Pokémon is reflected in the color of the capsule they are caught in. Pokémon caught in red capsules will have a 1 or 2 star move, Pokémon caught in blue capsules will have a 3 star move, and Pokémon caught in gold capsules will know a 4 or 5 star move. Rarer Pokémon are also more likely to have a higher CP.

The Toy Pokémon have various stats: HP, CP, Defense and Critical Rate. Unlike CP from other games, CP represents the Pokémon's Attack stat rather than their overall potential.

As the player collects more of the same species, the Catch Rank of the Pokémon will increase. A higher Catch Rank will provide a CP boost to all Pokémon caught of that species.

To discover stages, the player can tap any location on the map. Reported sightings show what Pokémon other adventurers have found to assist the player in finding the Pokémon they are looking for. To find a stage, the player must use a Guide Feather. Guide Feathers can be dropped by Bosses and Super Bosses, and a maximum of five can be held by the player at one time. Players can also access stages by tapping on other adventurers' balloons on the map. These stages do not use up a Guide Feather and can only be accessed once for 60 minutes. The Buddy Pokémon of the other player will assist in that stage.

Once a stage is discovered, the player has access to the last three stages that were found. One of these stages can be saved so that the stage is not replaced when a new stage is found.

Ores

Ores can be discovered when the player defeats a Boss or Super Boss and can be refined at the refinery managed by a Magnemite. Gears and coins are obtained once an Ore is refined. There are three types of Ores according to their rarity.

Refining Tickets can be used to speed up the process of refining by one hour. They can be obtained as a daily login bonus. A maximum of 10 can be held at one time. Poké Diamonds can also be used to speed up refining time, at a cost of 1 Poké Diamond for 2 minutes.

Gears

Gears are items developed by the Adventurers Club which can be equipped to a Toy Pokémon to provide certain useful boosts. Gears start at Lv. 1, and can be upgraded using the corresponding Upgrade Kit for the respective Gear. Upgrade Kits can be obtained by refining Ores and by sending Gears to the club.

Power Gear

Power Gears are Gears which provide boosts to the Pokémon's stats. Pokémon can have one or two slots to equip Power Gears. Brawny, Charge Boost, Move Gear, and Snappy Gears can be equipped to any Pokémon. The other type-based Power Gears boost the CP of a Pokémon with a move of the corresponding type to the Gear.

Summon Gear

Summon Gears are Gears which allow the player to summon an ally Pokémon to unleash a powerful attack. A Summon Gear can only be used once a gauge is filled up by defeating wild Pokémon. Summon Gears can be upgraded to Lv. 3.

Challenges

Challenges are goals which the player can accomplish to earn Poké Diamonds. Challenges can be daily, limited-time (bi-weekly with events), or permanent Adventurer challenges. All challenges currently reward the player 3 Poké Diamonds each.

Daily Challenges

Daily challenges have so far been the same every day.

• Catch 3 Pokémon
• Obtain 1 ore
• Refine ore

Tournament

Tournament is a feature where players battle multiple Super Bosses in a row within a certain period of time. The next stage will be unlocked if the player defeats all Bosses in the stage.

Shop

Certain items can be purchased with real money at the following rates.

Plot

The game involves defeating a range of Super Boss Pokémon with each Boss becoming progressively stronger. Before accessing the main game, a Tutorial must be completed, which consists of five Super Bosses. Super Bosses are powerful Boss Pokémon that must be defeated within a time limit. In order to battle a Super Boss, certain requirements must be met. Once a Super Boss Pokémon is defeated, more Pokémon will become available to catch in the wild, and the next Super Boss will be unlocked.

The main game currently runs as bi-weekly events, providing a new island to explore and Super Bosses to defeat. Pokémon obtained from previous islands cannot be used.
