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 beta stage, meaning that some features, like battling wild Pokémon are not available yet, but will be soon.
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 will last the mission: 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.
There is another method, but it is kept unknown, so it won't be shared here and it should not be shared if it is known.
Rumble Areas levels
Rumble areas will gain EXP every time they are explored (expreesed by %). 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.

Rumble Overview
The Rumble Overview allows you to see the progress of the current rumble missions, and also allows 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
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.
Evolving Eevee
Sylveon, Glaceon and Leafeon are only obtainable by sending an Eevee out on a rumble mission to a special area. The Mossy Forest, the Snowy Mountains and the Playground. They can only be explored by an Eevee.
To unlock these missions/areas, you need to reach an Exploration Level above 5 in the following Areas:
→ Silent Forest (Mossy Forest)
→ Rocky Cave (Snowy Mountains)
→ Windy Prairie (Playground)
Once you send the Eevee out to explore one of the areas, it will take 5-10 minutes to evolve, and then 5-10 minutes to return. It will return evolved.
Eevee evolves into Glaceon after exploring the Snowy Mountains.
Eevee evolves into Leafeon after exploring the Mossy Forest.
Eevee evolves into Sylveon after exploring the Playground.
Lightstone Cave - Evolving Nosepass & Magneton
Nosepass and Magneton can only be evolved by sending it out to explore the Lightstone Cave. The Lightstone cave is unlocked once you reach Level 5+ for the Fiery Furnace. The Lightstone cave can only be explored by the two Pokemon, and is similar to evolving Eevee's. (See above for information on how to evolve Eevee's)
Once you send your Nosepass/Magneton to explore this area, it will 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.
Legendary Rumble Missions
Three special rumble missions can be unlocked upon owning a specific map. These special rumble mission maps can be found rarely in Mystery Boxes. Each map will unlock a special area.
→ Marine Cave (Marine Map)
→ Terra Cave (Terra Map)
→ Sky Pillar (Sky Map)
You can send your Pokemon out to explore these special areas; and it may take them days. However, each area also has special requirements; for example...
- The Sky Pillar can only be explored by a Flying type Pokémon.
- The Terra Cave can only be explored by Ground or Fire type Pokemon
- The Marine Cave can only be explored by Water type Pokemon.
Double 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 to get your Pokémon on a very high level before sending them on such a mission - they may be challenged by very strong Boss-Pokémon.
Your Pokemon will fight Rayquaza in the Sky Pillar. If your Pokemon wins, it will return from the mission with an Emerald which you can use to summon Rayquaza in the Ancient Cave
Your Pokemon will fight Groudon in the Terra CAve. If your Pokemon wins, it will return from the mission with a Ruby which you can use to summon Rayquaza in the Ancient Cave
Your Pokemon will fight Kyogre in the Marine Cave. If your Pokemon wins, it will return from the mission with a Sapphire which you can use to summon Rayquaza in the Ancient Cave
If your Pokemon looses the battle, it will return from the mission with nothing, and your map will disappear.
