Pikachu's Rocket Start
Players: 1

Pikachu's Rocket Start is essentially a test of reflexes. In this game, you play as Pikachu and are racing against a Pokémon. The key is to be the first off the mark. As you start, you have to wait for Elekid to raise its hand up and for the race to begin. At this point, you need to make Pikachu move. This is done by pressing any of the D-Pad, A, B, or C buttons, or by shaking the Pokémon mini device. There are three rounds to go through. If you start before Elekid raises its arm, you lose. If you are slower than your opponent, you lose. If you lose, then you need to start again from Round 1.

When you have successfully completed a round, you'll be able to add the score to the rankings to see what the top 3 scores are.

Slowking's Judge
Players: 1

Slowking's Judge is a relatively simple mini-game. In it, you essentially play as Slowking and determine where a ball lands while others play Tennis. Using the A button, you declare it being in and using the B button you declare the ball being out. The game continues until you have made an incorrect call. The balls will come in and different speeds and directions to change things up. If you wait too long to make a call, you also fail.

Bellossom's Dance
Players: 1

Bellossom's Dance is another simple mini-game. In this one, you need to wait for the console to rumble. When it does, the two backup dancing Bellossom will make a move that you have to duplicate. You use the D-Pad to imitate their movements, or you shake the console in order to jump. As you go through, the level increases and the moves have less time for you to react. The game continues until you fail by either selecting the wrong motion or by moving before the other Bellossom.

Level 1: Just has Left & Right motions
Level 2: Adds crouching and looking up

Sneasel's Fake Out
Players: 2

Sneasel's Fake Out is a multiplayer game which requires you make infared communication with another player who has Pokémon Party mini. The goal here is to use the D-Pad to dribble a ball from side to side, or block by pressing up or down. Each player selects if they will play Offence or Defence. With this, the player on Offence has to decide which way to move the ball while the player on Defence needs to try to anticipate the move being played by the other player. If the Offence moves very quickly, it can fake out the Defence player into assuming the wrong move

Celebi's Clock
Players: 1

The final utility is quite simple. It's Celebi's Clock. On the main menu for this entire game, Celebi's Clock will appear and show the current time and date as set on your Pokémon mini device. This is aided by an animation of a Celebi around the time which fades in and out before flying away. If you press the A button to enter the application, you get another variant. This is simply a stop-watch. Here you can just run the stop watch, pause it and reset it. Another Celebi animation happens in this game as well.
