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 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.
