Pokémon Rumble Rush was a mobile game developed by Ambrella and published by The Pokémon Company in May 2019 as part of the Pokémon Rumble series. On April 15, 2020, less than a year after it was released, it was announced the game was shutting down on July 22 of the same year.
Gameplay[]
Like other games in the Rumble series, Rumble Rush features toy Pokémon which are controlled by the player through tap controls. The game's progression centers on moving between "islands", which consist of levels where the player's Pokémon fight against other Pokémon, completing the level by defeating a boss for that level. "Super Bosses" can be fought at the end of each island, once the player has completed certain criteria - typically, having sufficiently strong Pokémon or having certain Pokémon in their collection.
The player's Pokémon are measured with "Combat Power" (CP), and are obtained through beating the levels. Aside from Pokémon, players can obtain beneficial items known as "gears" - in form of "power gears" (which boost Pokémon stats) and "summon gears" (which summons additional friendly Pokémon in levels). Additionally, "Ores" can be randomly obtained at the end of every stage and can be refined for the user to obtain random summon gears, and power gears, and coins. There are three types of ores that are currently available: regular, unusual, and rare ores.
This is the first Pokémon mobile app that allows users to connect to their Nintendo Account, allowing various benefits such as cloud saving, My Nintendo rewards, and Mii avatar support.
