Pokémon Trozei! is a variation of ''[[Tetris]]''-style gameplay. However, it also has gameplay similar to that of ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]''. The blocks are symbols shaped like various [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]]. These blocks fall on to both screens; however, only the blocks on the bottom screen can be moved and matched. The player can move the blocks to the left and right, and the Pokémon that was moved off the edge of the screen returns to the opposite side of the screen. The blocks can also be moved downward, and the blocks on the bottom will fall to the top of the column. The blocks can be moved upwards, but will immediately fall back down if a match is not made. If four of the same Pokémon are in a row, a match is made and those Pokémon will disappear.

The Phobos Battalion is the new enemy of this game. They have stolen countless Pokéballs in order to power up a secret weapon. Unlike most Pokémon villains, there are only generals in the game, no underlings. They have many secret storages and huge storage (that contains many more Pokémon than the secret storages) and six Phobos Mobile that contains a General that the player must defeat in order to move on.

They have a clever maneuver to attempt to confuse the player. In the game, the player has a number of Pokémon to Trozei. Phobos Battalion Generals use a Jammer Flash that only lets the Pokémon's shadows to be seen, add 50 more Pokémon to Trozei'd, and will use Jammer Balls, which look like rocks, to try to block the player's Trozei. The only way to get rid of the jammer balls is to line them up with [[Ditto]].

Pokémon Trozei! (JP) is a Pokémon-themed puzzle video game for the Nintendo DS developed by Genius Sonority and published by The Pokémon Company.

Gameplay

The blocks are shaped like various Pokémon which fall onto both screens; however, only the blocks on the bottom screen can be moved and matched. The blocks can be moved upwards, but will instantly fall back down if a match isn't made. If four of the same Pokémon are in a row, a match is made and those Pokémon will vanish. When a match of four is created, a Trozei Chance (or Link Chance) Icon will appear. When that happens, match-ups of three Pokémon are allowed for about 2 seconds. If a match of three is made during that time, match-ups of two Pokémon are allowed as well for as long as the player continues to make links every two seconds.
