Pokemon Dream World Minigames
In order to befriend Pokemon you must play a minigame. Completing a minigame gets you 30 Dream World points, and the number of points you get while playing decides whether or not your Pokemon has a Special Move when you transferred.
There are 5 minigames in total.
- Search for Pokemon
In this minigame, the objective is to search for a certain Pokemon. You will have to search in a particular area. There is a button at the bottom right that allows you to listen for the Pokemon's cry. You will encounter other Pokemon along the way, but you must find the specific Pokemon in the given time limit. The less the time you take to find it, the higher your score will be. The Pokemon is guaranteed to be in two spaces distance from the berry
- Play with Wailord
In this minigame, the objective is to shoot various Pokemon—Piplup, Pikachu, Buizel and Meowth—using the water from Wailord's spout, and make them hit the balls floating in the air. You need to hit the orange balls with Buizel, yellow balls with Pikachu, brown balls with Meowth, and blue balls with Piplup. The objective is to hit 15 correct balls—the more you hit, the higher the score will be.
- Sky race
The objective of this minigame is to travel, by flying a Pelipper with your mouse, 1000 m in 2 minutes. You must collect the blue water capsules to increase your speed, which gives you 300 points every time you collect 1, and 1000 when you collect 3 in a row. The lightning capsule slows you down and reduces your score by 100 points. Clouds also slow you down, but do not cause point reductions.
- Drink Serving
This is a Pokemon Cafe Forest only game, currently available only to Japanese Dream World. It allows players to act as a Foongus with the job of a waiter. You have to deliver drinks to the customers. Serving correct drinks fetches you 2,450 points, while spilled drinks fetch 750 points. Incorrect drinks fetch an even lower 120. However, the Special Jug Drink always fetches 4,300.
- Ice Cream Scoop
The time limit here is one and a half minutes. Here, you have to stack Ice Cream Scoops on top of one another. You have to use a berry from your treasure chest for this. The type of berry used determines the flavor. A minimum of 20 inches is required. Height, size of scoops, and type of berry used are the factors that determine the score.
Areas
The Dream World is divided into four areas as of now.
New Pokemon are unlocked in all areas at 7,500 and 10,000 points.
The areas are :
- Pleasant Forest: Available at the start.
- Windswept Sky: Available once the player has 2,500 points.
- Sparkling Sea: Available once the player has 5,000 points.
- Pokémon Café Forest: A Japanese event only area. It was available from May 25th 2011 and will be available until August 2011. Burmy, Eevee, Poliwhirl, and Smeargle are available there.
Significant Abilities
Some of the Dream World announced abilities can change the way people battle this generation.
- Moody: This ability led to the excessive use of Pokemon like Birbarel and Smeargle. It was ssubsequently categorized to fall under Evasion Clause, and was thus banned in a couple of weeks. The Pokemon that received this ability are Octillery, Smeargle, Glalie and Birbarel.
- Speed Boost Blaziken: Speed Boost increases Blaziken's already good Speed one stage at the end of each turn. It was banned from the OU tier as well in a couple of weeks.
- Technician Breloom: Breloom, an already OU Pokemon, received a game-changing ability that allows it to boost the power of moves such as Mach Punch and Bullet Seed. What else can be said? However, it is not yet released
- Drizzle Politoed: It allowed permanent rain in the OU tier for the first time. This contributed greatly to the prominence of permanent weather in the metagame, as well as the Aldaron Proposal, which banned the combination of Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team.
- Drought Vulpix: This brought permanent sun to both the OU and RU tiers. This also helped bring permanent weather to the metagame.
- Magic Bounce Espeon: The amount of moves that this ability reflects is staggering. It works like an automatic Magic Coat.
Significant Moves
Just like the abilities, some moves also change the game.
- Magikarp—Bounce
- Nidoran-F—Sucker Punch/Super Fang
- Nidoran-M—Super Fang
- Poliwag—Sleep Talk
- Tentacool—Giga Drain

Notes
- Only female Dream World Pokemon can pass Dream World abilities.
- You can only tuck in a Pokemon every 24 hours.
- Changing the data will ban you from the Dream World for 24 hours. Thus, if you RNG after tucking in the Pokemon, you must attempt to do Game Sync. It will not let you on, but after this point, you can access the Dream World after 24 hours.
- However, If you RNG before tucking in the Pokemon, you won't be able to access the Dream World.
