2026
Stack blocks. Catch Pokémon. Conquer the Gym Challenge. A fan-made love letter to the 2002 Pokémon Mini classic - rebuilt from the ground up for PC with 13 gym leaders, an Elite Four, and Champion Blue.
Pokémon Tetris 2026 isn't just another Tetris clone. Every system has been crafted with care - from unlockable bonus modes to a full Gym Challenge gauntlet with unique per-leader mechanics.
Face all 13 Gym Leaders, each with a unique gimmick mechanic, before taking on the Elite Four and Champion Blue's full six-Pokémon team.
From Rookie through to Master - plus four unlockable bonus modes known as The Ruins of Alph, Global Gardens and Sweet Dreams Cafe.
Catch Pokémon as you clear lines, including all forms and shinies. Build your living Pokédex in real time, with a holographic viewer, full search and filter, and species data.
Unlock tracks as you progress - badges earned and Pokémon caught gate an ever-growing soundtrack, managed from a dedicated Jukebox screen.
Over 30 lifetime metrics tracked in full - play time, lines cleared, gym high scores, Pokémon caught - persisted across every session.
Fully rebindable keyboard and gamepad controls. Your configuration is always saved and never silently overwritten.
Show off your current gym battle or Pokédex count right in your Discord status. Toggleable on or off in the Options menu.
Shiny Pokemon have been added to the game. Hit ten 4 or 5 line clears for a shiny spawn. Can you complete your Shinydex?
Claim your trainer name and compete globally across 23 leaderboards - every mode, every gym leader, the Elite Four, Champion Blue, plus lifetime Total Pokémon Caught and Total Shinies boards. You choose after every game whether to submit.
All 48 Mega Evolutions from Pokémon Legends: Z-A are now catchable - Mega Dragonite, Mega Baxcalibur, both Mega Raichu forms, the Z-Megas and more, each with shiny variants.
Darkrai, Shaymin (both formes) and Arceus can now be encountered in Master mode via the +1 mechanic. The Pokédex can finally be completed to 100%.
The original Pokémon Tetris - known in Japan as Pokémon Shock Tetris - launched on Nintendo's tiny Pokémon Mini handheld in 2002. Released only in Japan and Europe, it introduced a brilliant idea: clear lines, catch Pokémon, fill your Pokédex. It even received an ESRB rating under the name "Pokémon Mini Shock Tetris" - hinting at a planned US release that was sadly never realised.
Pokémon Tetris 2026 takes that same core idea and rebuilds it for PC at full 1080p, adding a Gym Challenge, deep progression systems, and a wealth of content the original could only dream of - while staying true to the spirit that made the Pokémon Mini version special.
Every leader brings a hand-crafted gimmick to the board. Click any entry to see their Pokémon, typing, HP, and move. Clear the full gauntlet to unlock quick-play rows for every boss.

The perfect starting point. Relaxed pace, standard Tetrominos, basic selection of Pokemon to catch
Ramp up the challenge. From Level 8, Pentominos are introduced. More Pokemon are available in this mode.
You know what you're doing. Time to prove it under real pressure. More Pentominos spawn in, and rarer Pokemon spawn in.
Okay, you're getting very good. Time to ramp it up. This mode is unlocked at 150 unique Pokedex entries. More Pentominos, even more rare Pokemon. Good luck.
You're at the top of your game. Let's get rid of all the traditional Tetrominos, now it's all Pentos! Expect some super rare Pokemon in this mode. Only the strong survive.
Pieces take the form of Unown letters. Bizarre shapes demand entirely new strategies.
Visit the Global Gardens and catch every form of Vivillon!
Feeling snacky or want a drink? Come visit the Sweet Dreams Cafe and you'll be able to catch every form of Alcremie!
A polish patch: the catch celebration is reborn as a Poke Ball catch animation that plays right in the Pokemon box - no more pausing - plus a batch of fixes.
Everything from earlier releases is still here - the 23 Online Highscore Boards, all 48 Legends: Z-A Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax forms, and catchable Mythicals. Already installed? Just download and run the installer above - it updates your existing copy and keeps your Pokedex, badges and high scores.
...and one more thing. Not everything in this update made the patch notes. Some islands aren't on any map - some aren't even in the Pokémon universe. Rumour has it there's another creature-collecting franchise doing something rather similar these days... try typing its name on the main menu. 🌴
Pokémon Tetris 2026 is free to download and play. Run the installer and you're clearing lines in under a minute - Start Menu and desktop shortcuts included, no admin rights needed.
⬇ DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWSNew in 1.1.3: the catch celebration is now an in-box Poke Ball catch animation that doesn't pause play, plus popup, stats and audio fixes. (Still with all 23 Online Highscore Boards, Legends: Z-A Megas, Gigantamax forms & catchable Mythicals.)
