How to Make Plushies in Pokemon Friends

To make Pokemon plushies inPokemon Friends, players will first need to participate in and complete their daily puzzle challenges. Each puzzle challenge grants a different kind of yarn reward, which can then be utilized to make a plush of the player’s choice, so long as they have enough yarn stocked up to supply the design. To start solving puzzles, players can simply hit the ‘Untangle’ button from the main gameplay interface, and then select their mini game level from the following screen.

By solving puzzles, players can earn up to one ball of yarn a day. However, players who have purchased various DLC add-ons, or in the event that there are special events or circumstances (such as the first day double bonus), may also be able to earn additional balls of yarn per day.

Once players can collect some yarn, they can visit the giant Poke Ball-shaped machine, known in-game as the Plush-O-Matic. After tapping on this, players will have the option to make a new plush by choosing which type of yarn to put into the machine. Depending on which yarn is inserted, players will have a chance of receivingone of several different Pokemon plushies, much like a little gacha system. Furthermore, if players utilize the more rare variant of a yarn known as the ‘Pretty Nice’ yarns, then they can potentially roll with a 25% bonus chance of gaining an additional plush, making it a potential two-for-one combo deal!

In addition to this, players can also use the Plush-O-Matic menu to view a complete catalog of all Pokemon plushies they have unlocked and created thus far. Players can browse their catalog by yarn type, and even have the option to make additional copies of an exact plush type, if they wish to. However, this may require extra yarn in comparison to the more general gacha-style rolls.
