Rumbling

Rumbling is one of the main features of Pokéheroes. It allows users to find Pokedollars and items, such as berries, honey, Mystery Boxes, keys, star pieces, gems, spray ducks, and weather balloons. It is still in its beta stage, meaning that some features, like battling wild Pokémon are not available yet, but will be available soon.

Sending certain Pokemon to certain areas does not affect the probability of finding certain items.

How to access

The Rumble base can be accessed by hovering over the Town tab located at the top every page, provided you have at least one Explorer bag.

Sending Pokémon in a rumble mission

The six available rumble areas

The number of Pokémon that can be rumbling at the same time is determined by the number of Explorer bags owned by you, up to a maximum of 6 simultaneous Explorer bags.

When sending a Pokémon out for rumbling, three options will be given to choose from:

• The Pokémon you want to send: Click on a Pokémon to select it. It won't disappear from your party or storage boxes, but the Pokémon will be busy.
• The area you want to send them in: There are six possible areas, and the types of items available are different on each area.
• How long the mission will last: Rumble missions can last from 5 minutes or up to 12 hours. The longer the time the Pokémon is out, the better the result.

Getting explorer bags

There are three possibilities to obtain explorer bags:

• From the Item Shop. One Explorer Bag can be bought under the Special Items tab.
• From Rumbling. Sometimes a Pokémon may find an additional explorer bag while rumbling.
• Completing your badge sets. Completing the first and second badge sets would give you an additional rumbling bag each as a reward.

Rumble Areas levels

Rumble areas will gain EXP every time they are explored (expressed by a percentage). If an area is fully explored, a new level of it will be unlocked.

As the level of an area increases, the rumbling results in that area will be better.

Obtainable Items

Variety of different items can be found by Pokemon through Rumble Missions.

• Berries [Common] Any berries can be found; they are used to feed Pokemon.

Rumble Overview

Watching the Rumble overview

The Rumble Overview allows you to see the progress of the current rumble missions, and also allows you to retrieve a Pokémon when the mission is finished.

Information

This page displays all the Pokémon that are currently in a Rumble mission. On each Pokémon, the following is displayed:

• The area it is exploring.
• The time needed for the Pokémon to return, along with a progress bar.
• The amount of Pokédollar found by the Pokémon so far.
• A list of the items found, by clicking over the number of items found.

Retrieving Pokémon

Retrieving a Pokémon

When the Pokémon is back, there will be an option of retrieving it. You cannot retrieve Pokemon while they are exploring an area.

Doing so will place all the items in your Item bag and add the Pokédollars to your account.

Special Evolution

Eevee can only be evolved by sending it out to explore three special areas. To obtain Leafeon you need to send Eevee to the Mossy Forest, for Glaceon to the Snowy Mountains and for Sylveon the Playground. Nosepass, Magneton and Charjabug can only be evolved by sending it out to explore the Lightstone Cave. Crabrawler can only be evolved by sending it out to explore the Snowy Mountains.

Once you send the Eevee out to explore one of the areas, it will take 20-80 minutes to evolve, and then 20-50 minutes to return. It will return evolved.

The other rumble missions only take 5-10 minutes to evolve (you can choose if you want to evolve it or not) and 10 minutes to return from the area.

To unlock these missions/areas, you need to reach an Exploration Level above 5 in the following Areas:

→ Silent Forest (Mossy Forest)

Legendary Rumble Missions

Special rumble missions can be unlocked upon owning a specific map. These special rumble mission maps can be found rarely in Mystery Boxes and each map will unlock a special area.

Dual type Pokemon also work. For example...
You can send a Flying/Normal Pokemon to explore the Sky Pillar - You can send a Fire/Electric type Pokemon to explore the Terra cave, and so on.

Consider getting your Pokémon to a very high level before sending them on such a mission - they may be challenged by very strong Boss-Pokémon.

The Yellow Forest

Yellow Forest

During the Retro Pikachu Event, users were able to complete a task which would result in them unlocking a special Rumble Area called the Yellow Forest. The Yellow Forest can only be explored by Pichu, Satichu, Pikachu, Satochu, Raichu, Raitoshi, and Retro Pikachu.

When sending out a Pokemon to the Yellow Forest, it will have the opportunity to find a Retro Egg, which will hatch out to be a Retro Pikachu. The Pokemon may also find Tiny Mushrooms, and berries. Pikachu and Pichu can also be recruited while your Pokemon is out on the mission. There is a higher chance to find a Shiny Pichu/Pikachu via rumbling in the Yellow Forest.

The Yellow Forest is currently no longer unlockable due to the Retro Pikachu Event ending, but users who have unlocked the rumble area from the event can still send out their Pokemon. Retro Pikachu is still obtainable, but at a lower chance. Spiky-eared Pichu can also be obtained here.

Route 102

During the ORAS Event, after completing three other tasks the user unlocked Route 102 and had to have a Pokemon explore it and return with a Lava Cookie as the last task.

Pokémon could also recruit common first-stage Hoenn Pokemon such as Wurmple and Taillow, but they could also very rarely find a Retro Poochyena, Retro Taillow or Retro Zigzagoon egg.

During the Hoenn Berry Battle from 16/09/17 to 06/10/17, it was possible to unlock Route 102 again, along with an update that made it possible for Pokémon to find a Retro Celebi.

Route 102 is currently no longer unlockable due to the Hoenn Berry Battle ending, but users who have unlocked the rumble area from the event can still send out their Pokemon.

Space

Once you accept the quest, he will ask you to find a Brown Sack from a specific Rumble Area. When you find the Brown Sack, you will have unlocked a new special Rumble Area which is "Space".
