Pokémon Quest

The base camp helps the player progress in the game. In the camp you are able to prepare dishes to attract new Pokémon, set up decorations for various effects, and receive new Pokémon that visit the campsite once every 22 hours. There is also a Poké Mart that allow the player to purchase DLC Packs, Decorations and Box Expansions. Players can also claim 50 PM Tickets (game's currency) every 22 hours, where the amount a player receive can increase with the purchase of DLC Packs. PM Tickets are used to purchase Decorations and Box Expansions, as well as instantly completing a dish and recharging the energy for Expeditions.

The player's team needs to clear the island from wild Pokémon. To do this, players need to go through 12 locations, each with 3 to 7 levels. For each level players can bring up to three Pokémon with them. Pokémon can not only attack but also use special attacking or defensive moves. In total, the game has 167 unique movesets distributed in such a way that each Pokémon has from 2 to 11 special moves.[3] After using a special move the Pokémon needs to wait a few seconds (depending on the move used) to restore it. During this time it can only use normal attacks. Each level's completion opens access to the next level in the location.

Players can attract new Pokémon by preparing food. For this, there is a cooking pot in the base camp. Depending on the ingredients, one of the 18 possible dishes will be cooked. Different dishes call on Pokémon of different types. Ingredients are obtained primarily from expeditions, but it can also be obtained from recycling unused Power Stones. Ingredients are classified by their colour, hardness, type and rarity. Rarer Pokémon are attracted to dishes that use rare ingredients. The cooking pot used determines the bonus stats and the level of Pokémon that it attracts, where the better the pot used the more ingredients it has to use to cook.

Pokémon can level up by going on expeditions, or through training. Training a Pokémon uses other Pokémon to gain experience and once the training is done, the support Pokémon will leave. A player can also train their Pokémon to replace the Pokémon's current moveset, using other Pokémon as support Pokémon. If the player uses the same species or the same type of Pokémon as the support Pokémon, the amount of experience gained and the chances of changing a move is increased compared to using random Pokémon as support Pokémon. Although, the experience gained and the chances of changing the moveset decreases after every training done on the Pokémon.

Each Pokémon have their own Power Charms, where special stones called "Power Stones" can be inserted to increase the Pokémon's stats. Mighty Stones increase attack and Sturdy Stones increase the HP. The stones can be put into the Pokémon's Power Stone slots. These stones may also contain special effects that improves various stats such as Movement Speed or Critical Hit Rate. Other than the Mighty Stones and Sturdy Stones, special kinds of rare stones can be put onto the slots next to the move of the Pokémon. These stones can give the moves further advantages towards their use. It is also noted that certain moves can equip certain types of special stones.
