- drag Pokemon to the correct spots on the playing field
- create lines of three or more of the same Pokémon
- lines can be formed in horizontal and vertical positions
- various tutorials will teach you how to play
- make as many lines as possible, because your end goal is to weaken a Pokémon and capture it
- types of Pokémon play a major factor
- use the right element type against an enemy Pokémon to be super effective
- the first type you create a line with will be the one that will guides the comb
- later in the game you can use Support Pokémon
- use them over and over to make the more friendly towards you
- this makes attacks slightly stronger and they will be more likely to appear at the later parts of a stage
- wild Pokemon get stronger as you get further into the game
- Pokemon will start appearing in groups, where the ability “Scatter Attack” is useful
- starting out with a line that contains five Pokémon or more enables you to attack all enemies in an upcoming combo
- starting with a big pack will also raise the possibility of a Link Chance
- there's also a chance to clear out the playing field entirely
- wild Pokémon will attack you and you will take damage if you are not careful
- if you start a combo with Chansey, you will be able recoup your damage loss
- if Pokemon break the wall on the top of the screen, they will fall into the playing field
- collect Mr. Mimes to create a brand new barrier at the top
