Two players only. Each player has the same cards. The player that players the highest value card wins the cards on the table. This game can only be played with two players via infrared connection.

===Four Kings===
Single player only. Four Kings is a variation of {{wp|Solitaire}}, only the card piles must be in a certain order and topped off with the King card (which is {{p|Magikarp}} in this game).

==Trivia==
* Whenever {{an|Brock}} mentions [[Nurse Joy]], it is incorrectly displayed as ''Ms Joy'', and [[Ritchie]] is misspelled as ''Ricky''.
* Snorlax's theme in Special Seven is used as the title music for Snorlax's Lunch Time in {{g|Channel}}.
