Battling

Battling (Player versus Player) was officially released on July 1st, 2014.
Every user needs the Key Item VS. Seeker (which you can purchase in the Item Shop > Key Items) in order to be able to battle

Setting up a Battle

You can set up a new battle with your VS. Seeker. This item can be accessed from the Home-Tab in the navigation.
A VS. Seeker symbol appears in your Userbar when you receive a new Battle Request, or when your partner accepted your request.

Moves

Attack

Your Pokémon attacks the opponent and makes a damage, dependent on your Pokémon's Attack stat and the opponent's Defense stat.

Special Attack

Your Pokémon attacks the opponent and makes a damage, dependent on your Pokémon's Special Attack stat and the opponent's Special Defense stat.

Block

Your Pokémon tries to block the opponent's attack. The success rate is very high, though it can also fail sometimes.

Charge

Your Pokémon charges its power for one round.
The following (special) attack makes much more damage!
Charging also activates Super Heal.
Charging multiple times in a row does not increase your power.
The "Charged"-mode is only activated for one round.

Heal

Your Pokémon tries to heal itself. The amount of HP healed is lower than with a super-heal. Also, the chance of failing the health is also quiet high. You can only use three healings for each Pokémon in one battle.

Super Heal

The super heal requires the "Charged"-mode. The Pokémon fills its HP nearly completely. The chance of failing the health is rather low. You can only use three super healings for each Pokémon in one battle.

Battle Items

You can buy different Battle Items from the Battle Shop. These can be useful to increase your Pokémon's stats or to weaken the opponent.

Rewards

You receive a few Battle Points and some Pokédollar after finishing a battle.
The amount of these rewards is based on your strategy skills. This means that the system is rating your skills during the battle and is then evaluating a proper amount.
Losing the battle lowers your reward amount strongly.

Auto Intelligence Mode

When a user disconnects from a battle, the AI Mode is activated. The moves of the disconnected user are then automatically selected by the system.
This system tries to chose the moves intelligently, but you should not rely on it.
The Auto Intelligence Mode can be disabled before starting a battle.
