Gameplay involves the player controlling a Pokémon to explore various stages filled with wild Pokémon. To clear the stage, the player must successfully defeat the Boss Pokémon at the end of the stage. The player's Pokémon will move automatically towards the nearest wild Pokémon, although the player can swipe the screen to change direction or dodge attacks. The player can tap the screen to initiate an attack. After the Tutorial, the Pokémon will also attack on its own. Holding down before releasing will unleash a Charged Attack, which has a larger hitbox and deals almost three times more damage.

===Catching===
===Catching===
When a wild Pokémon is defeated, there is a chance of catching that Pokémon. Pokémon with sparkles will always be caught when defeated. In addition, Pokémon that become dazed after being attacked will also be guaranteed to join once defeated. Dazed Pokémon do not move or attack, and are represented by yellow stars on top of them. The rarity of the Pokémon is reflected in the color of the capsule they are caught in. Pokémon caught in red capsules will have a 1 or 2 star move, Pokémon caught in blue capsules will have a 3 star move, and Pokémon caught in gold capsules will know a 4 or 5 star move. Rarer Pokémon are also more likely to have a higher CP.

The Pokémon have various [[Statistic|stats]]: HP, CP, Defense and Critical Rate. Unlike CP from other games, CP represents the Pokémon's Attack stat rather than their overall potential.

As the player collects more of the same species, the Catch Bonus Level of the Pokémon will increase. The Catch Bonus Level increases by one for every 10 Pokémon caught of that species. Starting from level ★ 10, 100 Pokémon need to be caught to increase the Catch Bonus Level. Every Catch Bonus Level provides a +1 CP boost to all Pokémon caught of that species. Caught Pokémon and the Catch Bonus Level are registered in the [[Pokédex|Dex]].

To discover stages, the player can tap any location on the map. Reported sightings show what Pokémon other adventurers have found to assist the player in finding the Pokémon they are looking for. To search for a stage, the player must use a '''Guide Feather'''. Guide Feathers can be dropped by Bosses and Super Bosses, and a maximum of five can be held by the player at one time. Since update 1.3.1, if a player runs out of Guide Feathers, they will be able to use 10 Poké Diamonds to search. Players can also access stages by tapping on other adventurers' balloons on the map. These stages do not use up a Guide Feather and can only be accessed once for 60 minutes. The Buddy Pokémon of the other player will assist in that stage.

*Pokémon Rumble Rush changed the mechanic used for [[Pokémon_Rumble_World#Areas|Areas]]. Now different areas are searched to find new Pokémon. Searching requires feathers, which regenerate by beating [[Pokémon_Rumble_Rush#List_of_Super_Bosses|Super Bosses]]. However, the available areas change every two weeks and are themed with a pattern of 4-6 types with 2-3 out of the available types being the focus. This differs from Pokémon Rumble World, which use a balloon system for different [[Generation|Generations]] and a spinner to determine the area you'd visit.
