Making pals in Pokémon Friends is easy – just gift folks in Think Town a handcrafted plush of their favourite Pokémon! Tackle a daily trio of bite-size puzzles – tasks like sliding blocks to help Squirtle water his garden – to score balls of yarn. Feed those into your Plush-O-Matic machine to produce all sorts of adorable plushes, from Slowpokes to Jolteons. Sweet!

What we love: Decorating rooms. Choose a cosy log cabin with a fireplace for Charmander and Flareon, or pick pastoral wallpaper and a flower stool for Bulbasaur. Use as many copies as you like of each piece of furniture – as long as you can make it all fit.

Quick tip: The faster you solve puzzles, the better your chances of earning higher-quality yarn. The good stuff doubles your odds of making a rare Pokémon – and might result in a bonus plush!
