Pokémon Rumble Rush

Pokémon Rumble Rush (Japanese:ポケモンスクランブルSPPokémon Scramble SP) was a spin-off Pokémon game foriOS andAndroid. It was the fifth entry in thePokémon Rumble series. It was released in Australia for Android devices on May 15, 2019, in the rest of the world for Android devices on May 22, 2019, and for iOS devices on July 23, 2019.

Prior to release, two alpha tests for the game occurred in Japan under the namePokéland (Japanese:ポケランドPokéland). On Android, the first alpha test for the game was held from May 31 to June 9, 2017, while the second was held from October 17 to 27, 2017. An alpha test for iOS was scheduled to be held in the first half of 2018, but did not occur.

As announced on April 15, 2020, the game ended its one-year online services on July 22, 2020 at 1:59 pm (UTC). Because the game required an internet connection to play, it can no longer be played.

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 involved the player controlling a Pokémon to explore various stages filled with wild Pokémon. To clear the stage, the player had to 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 could swipe the screen to change direction or dodge attacks. The player could tap the screen to initiate an attack. After the Tutorial, the Pokémon would also attack on its own. Holding down before releasing would unleash a Charged Attack, which had a larger hitbox and deals almost three times more damage.

Catching

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

The Pokémon have variousstats: 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 Bonus Level of the Pokémon will increase. The Catch Bonus Level increases by one for every 10 Pokémon caught of that species. Starting from level ★ 10, 100 Pokémon need to be caught to increase the Catch Bonus Level. Every Catch Bonus Level provided a +1 CP boost to all Pokémon caught of that species. Caught Pokémon and the Catch Bonus Level were registered in theDex.

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 search for a stage, the player must use aGuide 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. Since update 1.3.1, if a player runs out of Guide Feathers, they will be able to use 10 Poké Diamonds to search. 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.

Daily Stages were introduced in update 1.3.0, which provide players with access to four set stages at a cost of Poké Diamonds. Unlike stages discovered by an adventurer's balloon, these stages can be accessed as many times. They also usually contain Pokémon that are difficult to find, with stages containing rarer Pokémon requiring a higher Poké Diamond cost. The first of the four set stages can be accessed once a day for free, and requires a cost for entry thereafter.

Ores

Main article:Ore

Ores can be discovered when the player defeats a Boss or Super Boss. They can be refined intogears and coins at the refinery managed by aMagnemite. The refinery can hold up to six ores (three prior to version 1.2.0), and only one ore can be refined at one time.

There are three types of ores according to their rarity (Ore, Unusual Ore, and Rare Ore). A greater number of gears can be obtained by refining rarer ores.

Gears

Main article:Gear (Rumble Rush)

Gears are items that can be equipped to a Pokémon to provide certain useful boosts. There are two types of Gears - Power Gears and Summon Gears. Power Gears provide boosts to the Pokémon's stats, while Summon Gears allow the player to summon an ally Pokémon to unleash a powerful attack.

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.

Adventurer Rank

The Adventurer Rank increases as the player catches more Pokémon. Increasing the Adventurer Rank provides more storage capacity for Pokémon and Gears.

Since update 1.3.1, the player also has the option to spend 100 Poké Diamonds to increase Pokémon or Gear storage capacity by 20.

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 each reward the player 3 Poké Diamonds.

Current daily challenges are:

• Try (Coin) Rush
• Catch 3 Pokémon
• Obtain 1 ore
• Tap another adventurer's balloon

Prior to version 1.2.0, the daily challenges were:

• Catch 3 Pokémon
• Obtain 1 ore
• Refine ore

Plot

The game involves defeating a range of Super Boss Pokémon with each Boss becoming progressively stronger. 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 area rank increases by one each time a Super Boss Pokémon is defeated.

Since update 1.3.1, Super Bosses can be rebattled. The update also introduced Goals which are optional tasks the player can complete while defeating the Super Boss. Clearing each goal rewards the player 3 Poké Diamonds.

Tutorial

Before accessing the main game, a Tutorial must be completed. The tutorial introduces the player to various elements of gameplay. It is also currently the only location where the Move Gear can be found.

The following is a list of Super Bosses encountered in the tutorial.

Events

The main game ran as bi-weekly events, providing a new island to explore and Super Bosses to defeat. Prior to update 1.3.1, Pokémon obtained from previous islands were not able to be used.

From June 10, 2020 until the game's end of service, players could access multiple seas. Charizard Sea was open as default, while the other seas could be unlocked by catching a certain number of Pokémon.

During the event, players are ranked according to the sum of the CP of their three most powerful Pokémon of different species. Players are rewarded Poké Diamonds at the end of the event depending on their rank. The rank is refreshed with each event. The prizes rewarded to the player prior to Rowlet Sea are as follows.

Rank	Prize

2	200
3	150

Differences fromPokémon Rumble World

• In Pokémon Rumble Rush,areas are searched to find new Pokémon. Searching requires feathers, which regenerate by defeatingSuper Bosses. However, the available areas change every two weeks and are themed with a pattern of 4-6 types with 2-3 out of the available types being the focus. This differs from Pokémon Rumble World, which use a balloon system for differentGenerations and a spinner to determine the area the player visits.
• Pokémon Rumble Rush removes facilities where the player can change moves, enter passwords for newToy Pokémon, etc.
• Pokémon Rumble Rush introducedGears, which allow you to further modify your Pokémon's CP Value beyond its determined value.
• In Pokémon Rumble Rush, Miis serve as avatars. In Pokémon Rumble World, they act as the player character.
• Tasks and tournaments in Pokémon Rumble Rush are given to you by the Adventurer's Club, rather than the King of a Kingdom like in Pokémon Rumble World.
• The Super Bosses in Pokémon Rumble World do not use the key cranking animation used in all previous Pokémon Rumble entries to grow in size. Instead, bosses start off big, and turn around when the active Pokémon encounters it.
  • Swapping Pokémon now happens instantaneously, rather than in real time. Swapping Pokémon in a Super Boss battle stops the timer. However, if a Pokémon is swapped in a Tournament Battle once the timer for that round has started, swapping does not pause the timer.
