| Pokémon Frienda | This section is missing one or more images. Please feel free to add any missing images to this section. Needed images can be uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. In Pokémon Frienda, Quick Balls can be thrown at up to five patches of grass during the "Get it now!" segment of the game. If the player selected the "Get it in battle!" option at the beginning of the game and caught any Pokémon after the battle, the number of grass patches decreases; if one Pokémon was caught after a battle, then four patches of grass are shown, and so on. Each throw costs ¥100 and the patch of grass the Quick Ball is thrown at is determined at random. |
