About the Game

In this chess-like game for two players, each player uses their Pokémon to try to capture their opponent's Togepi. Each piece has a power rating, and less powerful pieces attempting to damaged more powerful ones must make up the difference from the Plus Power cards or be damaged themselves. A piece that is damaged twice is removed from the board, but lose enough and you can summon a powerful Legendary Pokémon to assist you!

The rules are fundamentally the same as Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version, but the Pokémon pieces have differences that change the gameplay. Most notably, attacking Magikarp causes it to evolve into the powerful Gyarados!
