Remember Pokémon Comaster, the collectible Pokémon figure fighting game for your mobile device? The mobile game has finally left Japan and moved to the world with a new name, Pokémon Duel.
Pokémon Duel is available now for iOS and Android devices and is free to download.
This new mobile game is being described as mobile strategy game where players will deploy digital Pokémon figures to battle other players. It’s not just a fighting game, however, as Pokémon Duel lets players strategize where to place their figures and how to move them to reach the goal in their opponent's territory.
It’s like a combination of Risk and Pokémon for your mobile device. Here’s just a small list of the things you can do in Pokémon Duel.
- By strategically assembling their team of six Pokémon, each with its own strengths and a set number of steps it can take, players can take different routes to rush toward the goal or block the opponent’s Pokémon from advancing.
- When two Pokémon from opposing teams meet, a battle commences, and the players spin each Pokémon’s Data Disk to see which Attack each Pokémon will use.
- In addition to moving Pokémon and battling, players will also be able to use a plate at the start of their turn. These plates have various effects, including swapping positions of Pokémon in play and giving their Pokémon various battle enhancements for that turn.
- The player who reaches their goal first wins the duel.
There are PVP elements to Pokémon Duel, as players can face each other by tapping League Match on the Home screen. Players will be matched up with other players according to skill.
A variety of items, including Pokémon figures, can be earned through Time Boosters unlocked with every League victory. Winning League matches also increases the player’s rating and provides a chance to get different Pokémon figures as they compete in higher-level leagues.
While Pokémon Duel is a free-to-play game, microtransactions allow playeres to purchase more plates and Boosters to trade for desired Pokémon. Gems, which can be purchased in the in-game shop can also be earned by playing Pokémon Duel daily and clearing missions.
Pokémon Duel is available now to download for iOS and Android.
