Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Glossary

The Poké Assist forms a bubble at the Capture Disc. The bubble grows larger if the Capture Disc is held longer. Slide the Capture Disc, then lift the Styler to flick the bubble in the same direction.
If the bubble hits a Pokémon, points are added to its Friendship Gauge. Also, the Pokémon's status is changed to "Slowed," which makes its movements sluggish for a time. If the bubble is big, more points are added to the hit Pokémon's Friendship Gauge. It also extends the time that the hit Pokémon is "Slowed."
