Ore (Japanese: ギア鉱石Gear Ore) is a type of item in Pokémon Rumble Rush that can be refined into gears and coins at the refinery. They can be obtained randomly upon defeating a Boss or Super Boss Pokémon.
Ores are refined at the refinery which is managed by a Magnemite. It can hold up to six ores (three prior to version 1.2.0). Only one ore can be refined at a time unless the player buys additional refining slots from the shop.The player can also use Refining Tickets or Poké Diamonds to speed up the process of refining. Poké Diamonds speed up the refining time at a cost of 1 Poké Diamond for 3.3 minutes*, while a Refining Ticket will speed up the time by one hour each. Refining Tickets can be obtained as a daily login bonus or purchased through the player's My Nintendo account. A maximum of 10 can be held at one time.
Types of ores
There are three main types of ores according to their rarity (Ore, Unusual Ore, and Rare Ore). A greater number of gears can be obtained by refining rarer ores.
Ores have a specific move type associated with it depending on the stage from which it was obtained. Ores are guaranteed to have 1 Move Plus gear of the same type as the ore, while the rest of the power gears obtained will vary. Summon gears may also be obtained from ores. The availability and rarity of power and summon gears differ depending on the current event.
Prior to version 1.2.0, the number of gears obtained depended on the current area rank. The area rank increased by one each time a Super Boss Pokémon was defeated. As the area rank increased, the number of gears obtained also increased. Since version 1.2.0, the number of gears obtained became fixed for each ore.
A special Unusual Ore (named in the game data as a Valentine Ore) was also available in Butterfree Sea. The refining time and number of contents were the same as the regular Unusual Ore, but gave players access to the Fairy Move Plus gear and an increased chance of dropping style power gears.
