Solo Battle Features

Battle Against AI Opponents

Pokemon TCG Pocket's battles against AI is the lone single-player mode, as the game does not have a story mode.

In these battles, you will be matched against computer-controlled opponents with varying skills levels depending on the difficulty.

Same Match Rules Apply

Solo AI battles have the same rules as a regular match against another player, so you'll be able to experience all the aspects of a normal match while testing your deck.

Battle System Explained

Test Decks Against Bots

Solo battle mode is a great feature to use if you want to test out decks without facing another live player in multiplayer, but do note that facing an AI will not guarantee a similar experience when facing an actual person.

A same feature is also available in Pokemon TCG Live, wherein TCG decks can also be tested without going into ranked matches.
