Before each battle, you can choose two Pokemon to use, and before each round, you choose which Pokemon you want to aid you for that round.įor the controls, you use the D-pad to move, A for an attack, B to jump, X for your Pokemon’s “weak attack,” Y for its “strong attack,” L to use your Support Pokemon, R to Guard, and the D-pad plus the buttons for other attacks. Snivy traps your opponent in a Leaf Storm-type attack, Lapras rushes at your opponent with Surf (similar to Piplup in Smash), and Emolga and Fennekin use Electric and Fire attacks. Some of the Pokemon that can aid you in battle include Snivy, Lapras, Fennekin, and Emolga. Suicune uses its front or back legs to kick and jumps around using wind and Water-type attacks. Gardevoir can Mega Evolve and it seems to use some sort of black hole type attack as its ultimate move – its “Burst Attack.” Pikachu is Pikachu, running around firing Electric attacks like usual. The stream showed each of them off in battle. In addition to Lucario and Machamp, Pikachu, Suicune, and Gardevoir were confirmed as fighters in the game. Battles are live, fast-paced, and exciting – the game looks like it will be a major addition to the franchise.
