==Gameplay==
Each game in the series features [[Toy Pokémon]], Pokémon wind-up toys. The player begins with a Pokémon of their own, with gameplay mainly consisting of entering a stage and progressing through a number of different areas inside a predefined zone. Once the final area is reached, a boss is normally found, which must be defeated in order to complete the level. During a level, Pokémon may be obtained by the player, either randomly when defeating Pokémon, or by defeating a Pokémon while it is wobbly, guaranteeing obtaining that Pokémon. The player may also encounter a [[Battle Royale]] type stage, which involves defeating a number of Pokémon within a predefined time limit. During these stages, clocks may drop from defeated Pokémon, allowing for the timer to be extended. Often these also include "Powerful Rivals," which have more HP and are stronger than regular toy Pokémon. Also, in most versions of the game, the player is unable to switch Pokémon during battle royale.

Each game also has additional stages that differ from the normal stages in some way. In these stages, no Pokémon or Ⓟ will drop when defeated, and there is usually a time limit. If there is a time limit, defeated Pokémon may instead drop clocks, which extend the timer slightly. The most common of these throughout the series are [[Battle Royale]] stages, which involve defeating several waves of Pokémon within a predefined time limit. These stages also include "Powerful Rivals", which appear as part of specific waves and are similar to bosses in the standard stages in that they appear with a brief introductory cutscene and are much larger and stronger than regular toy Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Rumble]], all of these additional stages are Battle Royales, with one found at each rank. Clearing the Battle Royale will enable the player to move onto the next rank. In [[Pokémon Rumble World]], these stages are given as {{DL|Pokémon Rumble World|Challenges}} by the King, and include a mixture of Battle Royales and other stages that progress through several areas like normal stages, but have preset Pokémon and obstacle layouts.
