These games range from Chase, Battle, Hide-and-Seek, Quiz, Obstacle Hop, or an exclusive minigame that can differ based on the Pokémon. A few other Pokémon have different requirements based around interactable items in the overworld. The player have several methods of attacking, including a tackle attack, two long-range attacks, and a melee attack that is activated by shaking the Joy-Con. The game's plot is somewhat disconnected from the storyline of the first two PokéPark titles: the game follows a young Pikachu who lives in the Central Isle, the main island in the middle of the archipelago. Rumors of strange monsters coming to the isles begin to spread, and they reach its peak when one of the "monsters" attacks a civilian of the Isle. The people of the island decide to ask upon the island’s elder to decide a hero, and she somehow decides on the Pikachu to travel to the other islands and collected seven "Pure Shards", which can be used to purge the island of its invaders. Along the way, however, the Pikachu stumbles upon a harmless "monster" named Nebby, who comes from the same dimension as the "monsters" and assists him on his journey. The game is set for a Decemrelease for the Nintendo Switch. PokéPark 3: Dreamer's Archipelago plays somewhat similarly to the previous two PokéPark installments. Players control one of six playable Pokémon in an open area, interacting with the environment and the other Pokémon in the area. The main aspect of gameplay is befriending Pokémon native to the PokéPark.

Battle: The player Pokémon fights the rival Pokémon in a battle, in which they use their available overworld attacks to defeat the other Pokémon, by whittling down their health bar before they are defeated.Each Pokémon can “tackle” their opponent, as well as using three different “Special Attacks” against them. Type advantages in the main series apply against the rival Pokémon.

Chase: The player embarks in a game of tag against the other Pokémon: depending on the Pokémon, the player must either chase after the opposing Pokémon and tag them with a tackle, or evade the opposing Pokémon trying to chase them for a set time.Typically, this game is made easier if the player upgrades their Speed stat in the Central Isle (a service run by Ribombee), or if played by Litten, the fastest playable Pokémon.Dash-Off: A new Skill Game introduced in Dreamer's Archipelago, similar to Chase, where the player must race the opposing Pokémon from one point to another.Similar to Chase, this game is made easier by upgrading your speed stat or by using Litten.
