Gameplay
Each game in the series features Toy Pokémon, Pokémon wind-up toys. The player begins with a Pokémon of their own, with gameplay mainly consisting of entering a stage and progressing through a number of different areas inside a predefined zone. Once the final area is reached, a boss is normally found, which must be defeated in order to complete the level. During a level, Pokémon may be obtained by the player, either randomly when defeating Pokémon, or by defeating a Pokémon while it is wobbly, guaranteeing obtaining that Pokémon. The player may also encounter a Battle Royale type stage, which involves defeating a number of Pokémon within a predefined time limit. During these stages, clocks may drop from defeated Pokémon, allowing for the timer to be extended. Often these also include "Powerful Rivals," which have more HP and are stronger than regular toy Pokémon. Also, in most versions of the game, the player is unable to switch Pokémon during battle royale.
