This page was adapted from a document written by andu on the Pokémon Pinball Discord server, with his permission. The original document can be found here.
This page contains information on every action in Pinball Ruby & Sapphire that can provide points, and the amount of points provided. If you know of anything that gives points that isn't referenced here, feel free to contact andu or myself (and I'll let andu know too).
The slot machine can sometimes award the player with Small bonuses (100, 500, or 900 points) or Big bonuses (1,000,000-9,000,000 points).
The default multiplier is x1, meaning that all events on the board award the player with the exact amount of points shown in the tables below. It is possible to increase this multiplier, with the result that the amount of points the player gains is multiplied by the multiplier. There are three ways to increase the multiplier:
These actions give points regardless of if the player is on the Ruby table or the Sapphire table.
