This game is a puzzle game akin to Pokémon Battle Trozei and has you have to shuffle tiles and level up characters in order to capture Pokémon. In each battle, you have 4 Pokémon to choose from, and you need to think of your type advantages. There is no time limit, so you can take as long as you like to study the board. To clear each stage, you'll have to reduce the HP of the wild Pokémon you face to zero within a set number of moves. It also features Mega Evolutions which are used to clear the board quicker.
You have a 10 minute wait between battles if you lose, but you can get in there earlier by paying or using items that have been accrued through gameplay. You can also pay for various items to aid in your gameplay. It is due for release in February 2015 and is free to play but with payments included.

Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the third generation. Metagross has four brains in total. Combined, the four brains can breeze through difficult calculations faster than a supercomputer. This Pokémon can float in the air by tucking in its four legs. Metagross is the result of two Metang achieving fusion. When hunting, this Pokémon pins the prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using the large mouth on its stomach. So here it is, the sixty-third entry, Metagross.
