The player is allowed to choose from a selection of different types of puzzles. Initially, the only options are Shadow Puzzle, Motion Puzzle, and Rescue Mission, but after completing 30 puzzles, a fourth variety, Power On, is unlocked. There are 20 puzzles for each type, divided into five levels, with four puzzles to a level. The higher a puzzle's level, the more difficult the puzzle is. Once a puzzle is solved, the Pokémon involved in the puzzle is added to the game's Pokédex, the Minidex.
