Pokémon Rumble Rush is the latest Pokémon game to hit Android and iOS, and in it, we're rumbling with enemy Pokémon.

Battling is the aim of the game here, and while you will be using Super Effective moves, combat isn't the same as the turn based battles you're used to.

In Pokémon Rumble Rush you'll be using action combat to take down enemies and smash through stages, all while collecting Pokémon of your own. Read through these tips to get the essential information you need on how to beat the strongest CP Pokémon you encounter.

The basics of combat

Pokemon Rumble Rush

Combat in Pokémon Rumble Rush is pretty simple honestly, with just enough nuance to make experienced players feel, well, experienced.

Essentially you can just tap and swipe your way through stages, though against stronger Pokémon you'll have to work a lot harder than that.

You can tap to attack, while swiping will give you a swift dodge roll. Tapping regularly will smash through enemies pretty quickly.

Swiping to dodge doesn't seem that useful at first, but it's essential against stronger bosses, and is actually faster than moving, allowing you to clear through stages at speed.

In addition to that, you can buff up your Pokémon with gears, and summon gears will unleash special attacks to do more damage.

But one of the riskiest, and most worthwhile, attacks is holding down your attack to charge it and unleash a powerful move. These charged attacks hit hard, but you'll have to pick your moment to use them.

These are the basic things you need to know, executing these tools in a heated environment takes skill and time though. Just practice your dodge and the types of attacks Pokémon have to win.

1
Gear buffs and summon attacks

Gears will buff up your Pokémon when equipped to them. Sometimes with a HP boost, usually with a CP boost. Either way, it's a good idea to equip them.

Summon gears will instead summon a special attack onto the field which can do big damage to enemies, especially bosses.

Better yet, all of these gears can be upgraded, making their effects much more powerful. Make sure to upgrade the gears you use most, or if you really need a CP boost.

2
Attack type

The types of attacks each Pokémon will use differ. Even Pokémon of the same type, like two Diglett, will have different attacks.

Attacks have different speeds, strength, types, and areas of effects. Many attacks are up close, but shockwave attacks which spread around Pokémon are useful for clearing out crowds.

The main thing to focus on in the early game is using an attack which is Super Effective against enemies.

3
Stronger strategies

When it comes to stronger boss Pokémon, you need to actually play well in order to win, not just power up. Though that does help, honestly.

You will need to anticipate and dodge enemy attacks. Make sure to watch for their animations and remember what movements they make before attacking.

Charged attacks will do the damage you need, just make sure to time them well and get in between the enemy moves, if you can.
