Gameplay
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.
Players take turns playing Pokémon from their Bench face down; their tier is visible on the back of the card, putting the player who goes first at a disadvantage. On the first turn, the player with the higher Rating goes first. Afterward, this disadvantage goes to the winner of the previous round. The first player to score 3 points wins.
