Gameplay
Battles
In Pokémon Medallion Battle, two players face off with teams consisting of six Pokémon. Up to two of these Pokémon may be the Great Ball and Ultra Ball tier each and no two Pokémon from the same evolutionary family may be used simultaneously.
Players take turns playing Pokémon from their Bench face down; their tier is visible on the back of the medal, putting the player who goes first at a disadvantage. On the first turn, the player with the higher Rating goes first; otherwise, the winner of the previous turn goes first. After both medals are played, they are turned face up and the Pokémon with the higher CP wins the fight, scoring a point. The first player to score 3 points wins the match.
Pokémon
Pokémon are represented in medallion form with these properties:
- One of seven types, based on the original Pokémon TCG types: Colorless, Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Fighting, Psychic
- One of three tiers: Poké Ball < Great Ball < Ultra Ball
- CP, which currently ranges from 150 to 1300
- Rarity, which is rated on a scale of 1 to 3 stars
Powers
There are a variety of powers in Pokémon Medallion Battle, which activate before the Pokémon fight:
- Super Effective: If activated, multiplies the CP of a Pokémon by either 1.5x, 2x, or 2.5x
- May be activated by your opponent's Pokémon's type or tier
- Priority: Allows the Pokémon to fight immediately if its CP is higher
- Affected by Entry Hazards and Support, but not any other abilities
- Protect: Prevents a Pokémon from winning or losing
- Using Protect will cause you to go first in the next turn
- Reveal: Reveals a random Pokémon on your opponent's Bench
- Arena: Increases the CP of Pokémon of a certain type
- Unlike Entry Hazards and Support, Arena takes effect immediately
- Affects both players' Pokémon
- Entry Hazards: Reduces the CP of the next Pokémon played by your opponent
- Support: Increases the CP of the next Pokémon you play
Once a power is activated, it cannot be used again for the remainder of the match.
Evolution
Pokémon may be evolved by spending Candy in the following amounts based on their rarity and the resulting tier:
Rarity | To Poké | To Great | To Ultra |
---|---|---|---|
★ | 50 | 100 | 200 |
★★ | 100 | 200 | 400 |
★★★ | 200 | 400 | 800 |
The evolved forms of Pokémon have higher CP and possibly higher tier as well.
If a Pokémon has a power, it will learn the same type of power after evolving. Otherwise, it has a chance to learn any power.
Pokémon with multiple evolutions will randomly evolve into one. In this case, Pokémon may learn any power, even if they already had a power prior to evolution.
