Pokémon Quest is a light, tap-to-battle Pokémon game set on Tumblecube Island, where every creature from the Red and Blue era is a cube. It costs nothing up front and runs without ads, so expeditions and team building stay uninterrupted.
The Pokémon Company and Tumblecube Island
The game comes from The Pokémon Company, which released it on June 25, 2018. It is filed under Pokémon games and action-adventure games, with a role-playing tag and an Everyone content rating.
The setting is Tumblecube Island, where everything is built from cubes, including the Pokémon. The creatures come from Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, and the goal is to find goodies said to be hidden on the island.
Tap battles, team building and base camp decoration
Battles run on tapping. When wild Pokémon appear, your team fights them without complicated input, and you send the group out on expeditions.
Items collected on those trips can be used to befriend more Pokémon or make existing ones stronger, which shapes the team you take next time. The base camp can be decorated, and decorations can make expeditions more beneficial.
Android 6.0 requirement and connection warnings
The game needs Android 6.0 or later. The developer recommends 2 GB or more of RAM and warns that some devices may still not run the game properly. The current version is 1.0.10, last updated October 14, 2026.
Saved data stays on your device unless you use the in-app backup function, and the developer recommends backing up often. A weak connection during server actions such as shop purchases can corrupt or lose data. The developer also says it cannot help with problems caused by communication errors.
