‘Pokémon Friends’ Puzzle Game With Plushies Available Now

Say “Eureka!” in this new mobile puzzle game announced at the July Pokémon Presents.

At July’s Pokémon Presents, viewers were given a first look at a new mobile title. Pokémon Friends is a single-player-focused puzzle game where players are given three minigames every day. Upon completing each session, you receive a piece of yarn that can be turned into a plush based on one of a wide selection of Pokémon. 

The game was shadowdropped during the event, and players can download it for free on Android and IOS devices. The game is also available for Nintendo Switch systems at the price of $9.99. This purchase grants you one of the DLCs you’ll find in this game, the “Basic Pack,” which includes 30 puzzles, 70 craftable plush, and 11 yarn types (this pack can also be purchased on mobile for the same price). Additionally, purchasing the basic pack will allow you to “untangle as many times as you’d like,” as indicated by a pop-up on the mobile version.
