Pokémon playing pieces
Doubles power ability
Rolling doubles allows a player to do one of two options. He or she can roll again as normal, or the player can activate a Pokémon power based on the dice. If the power is activated, the player must end the turn after invoking it. The powers cannot be used if the player rolled doubles to get out of jail.
- Double Ones
"Teleport like Mewtwo and go anywhere." If the player passes GO, collect $200. The player may not teleport to Jail.
- Double Twos
"Rest like Clefairy and collect $200 from the Bank."
- Double Threes
"Use Leech Seed like Bulbasaur and collect $50 from each player."
- Double Fours
"Meet Professor Oak." The player gets to draw a Professor Oak card.
- Double Fives
"Fight in a Trainer Battle." The player gets to draw a Trainer Battle card.
- Double Sixes
"Attack to control one of another player’s gym lots." The player selects a Pokémon that an opposing player owns that is not part of a color group. Both players roll the dice. The player who rolls the higher number takes (or keeps) control of the lot. In the event of a tie, both players roll again.
The color groups
Brock’s Gym (Purple)

Lt. Surge’s Gym (Purple)
