TRAINER’S HANDBOOK

Every move matters.

Choose your partner and CPU rival from the Kanto Pokédex, then defeat your rival before the timer runs out. One-on-one rounds last two minutes. Trainer Battle lets each side bring 1–6 Pokémon, with two minutes per slot on the larger team. Choose a trainer and edit numbered slots before starting. Use Switch Pokémon below the arena to choose a teammate during battle. Your Pokémon returns to its ball before the replacement is thrown out. HP, energy, conditions, and move cooldowns are retained; switching has a six-second cooldown. Teammates also enter automatically when one faints; defeat the whole team to win. At time expiry, remaining team health decides the result.

W / A / S / DMove around the arena. With Arena effects on, avoid lava, brake on ice, and use trees as cover.
MOUSE / JAim with your cursor. Hold click or J to fire your quick attack. Keyboard-only play automatically aims at your rival.
K / LUnleash your special or ultimate. Watch your energy and cooldowns.
SPACEDodge in your movement direction. You cannot take damage during the dash.
ESC / PPause and catch your breath.

Move sets belong to each species. Physical strikes require close range; rushing attacks move you forward. Healing and defensive moves affect you, and status moves affect your rival. Self-Destruct and Explosion also make the user faint. Ditto starts with Transform and copies the rival’s moves. Magikarp’s Splash has no battle effect.

On touchscreens, use the direction pad and tap the ability buttons. Attacks automatically aim at your rival.

ACTIONPRIMARYALTERNATE

Choose a key to change. Backspace clears an alternate key.

 A CHANGE OF SCENERY

Choose your battlefield.

Six settings. Any matchup. Find your next arena.

Both fighters can change terrain. Changes last for the round; rematches restore it. Water extinguishes burning trees, and fire melts frozen paths. Ground-targeted moves can reach beyond cover.

Standard movement and combat. Surface impact animations stay on.

Your choice is saved for the next battle. Change arenas and rules between rounds. Surface impacts animate with either setting.

 A TEAM EFFORT

Who’s up next?

Battle is paused. Choose a teammate to recall your Pokémon and send out the next one.

HP, energy, conditions, and move cooldowns stay with each Pokémon. Switching is available again after 6 seconds of battle.
