  • Befriend many Pokémon — Use items collected throughout expeditions to befriend a wide array of Pokémon.
  • Create your Pokémon dream team — Partner with three of your Pokémon friends to battle through diverse environments.
  • Pokémon unique to you — Use different Power Stones to personalize your Pokémon friends however you want and give them unique stats.
  • Customize your base camp — Decorate your home with cute and fun collectibles that not only look good, but can provide in-game benefits.

“This new Pokémon title, developed by GAME FREAK, lets players explore the island of Tumblecube with their team of cute, cube-shaped characters known as Pokéxel,” said Shigeru Ohmori, director at GAME FREAK. “Players will be able to personalize their Pokémon and develop a strong bond with their Pokémon friends while battling their way through the adventure. With the simple touch-screen controls, Pokémon Quest is a game that Pokémon fans of all ages can pick up and play.”
