The game keeps the classic top-down Pokémon structure and turn-based battles, while shifting the main objective to Team Rocket missions. Players move through towns, hideouts, and routes, taking part in dialogue-heavy story events, stealthy errands, battles, and Pokémon theft sequences. Progress is driven by completing assigned tasks, unlocking new areas, and advancing within Team Rocket’s ranks.
