Strategy Tips

After viewing the " Learn to Play" and " Figure Anatomy" demos, you'll have a solid understanding of the basics of Pokémon Trading Figure Game. If you're still not completely sure what to do, try out some of these strategic tips for game play.

  • Block your opponent's Entry Points. This lets you slow down his or her game.
  • Make sure you have some way to defend your Goal.
  • Learn the abilities of your Pokémon. For example, Pokémon with lots of Dodge are better defensive figures that can slow down your opponent's attacks.
  • Surrounding a Pokémon always wins. You can do this a couple of different ways. First, some Pokémon have Purple attacks that allow surrounding a Pokémon as a result of their attack, either by jumping over Pokémon or switching Pokémon around. The other way is to move your Pokémon in ways that can do more than one thing at a time—your opponent  might see one threat; but not see the surround maneuver.
