Cozy up with a variety of bite-sized puzzles—and collect virtual Pokémon plush!
Unwind with puzzles in the Pokémon Friends game! Solve sets of three random puzzles to help untangle your mind—then place the yarn you obtain into the Plush-O-Matic: a special machine that creates in-game Pokémon plush! As you try to make them all, you can track your crafted plush in the catalog. You can also mark your calendar with a stamp each day you play, and then go back and practice the puzzles you played on those days.
