The game uses the classic top-down Pokémon RPG structure. Players travel through towns, routes, caves, and ruins, catching and training Pokémon while building a six-member party for turn-based battles. Progress is driven by gym challenges and story events, with side areas, optional trainers, and new traversal options opening up as the adventure advances. Combat relies on type matchups, move synergy, status effects, and item use.
