💀 New · Challenge Mode
One life per Pokémon. Are you in?
A Hardcore Kanto run, on a second profile of your account: nothing moves between the run and your normal game. Earn the badges with whatever the grass gives you and climb the season leaderboard.
It's optional. Your normal game stays untouched: you lose no progress on your normal profile, and you can switch between your normal profile and the challenge one anytime, on the same account.
- Fainted means dead. The Pokémon goes to the graveyard for good.
- Random starter: Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.
- Level cap per badge: no leveling up just by waiting.
- All by hand: no Auto Hunt or Auto Capture; every wild Pokémon is a turn-based battle.
- No diamond shop, VIP or market: nobody buys a spot on the leaderboard.
Take the challenge
In game: the Challenge button or the Z key
What awaits you
Catching
Defeated wild monsters go to the catch list for you to catch. Auto Catch follows your rules (shiny, new species) and catches on its own; with VIP it also picks a ball per species and sells the low-IV ones.
Real day and night
A day in the game lasts 24 minutes. Hoothoot only shows up at night, Pidgey prefers the day — every hour changes the tall grass.
Shiny hunting
Every encounter has a 1 in 40,000 chance of being shiny. Golden sparkle, rare sprite, and it follows you around the map.
Play together
See other Trainers walking, battling and catching beside you, challenge them to a duel, watch their battles and talk in the chat.
Truly idle
No repetitive clicking: your monster earns EXP, levels up and collects money while you just pick where to go.
Play on mobile
Same game, same account: start on PC and keep going on the bus.

What's new
Everything already waiting for you in the game.
World Tournament
A season every month at the Battle Frontier, in Singles and Doubles, with queues, rankings and live matches to watch. The top 10 get a title, an aura and the World Ribbon.
Black Zone
Hoenn's routes, caves and seafloor with open PvP. Whoever loses hands over their gold and the TMs in their Bag, and TMs only drop there. Keep yours safe in the PC chest.
Mounts
Bicycle, Mach Bike, Acro Bike and Running Shoes, just like the games. And 18 monsters you can ride when they're the one following you, like Charizard, Lapras and Dragonite.
Day Care and Eggs
Leave two monsters at the Day Care, preview the baby and hatch the Egg. Nature, IVs and Egg Moves are passed down, and a bred shiny is announced to the whole server.
Dex
All 905 species, with the ones you've seen and caught and the details of each one. Go complete yours.
Hoenn Berries
Pick them from the trees along the routes, or plant, water and harvest your own in soft soil. There are Berries to heal, to hold in battle and to lower EVs.
Achievements and dailies
Daily playtime goals, a 30-day login calendar and permanent achievements. You're told the moment you unlock one, and you claim the reward in the panel.
English and Portuguese
The whole game in both languages. Pick one when you sign in, or switch any time in the settings.
Turn-based battles
All 16 Kanto and Hoenn Gym Leaders with their original teams, on the Emerald battle screen, with the game's animations and sounds. Pick a move, a switch or an item each turn and earn the Badge.
Legendaries of the story
Articuno, Mewtwo, Kyogre, Rayquaza and the others wait where they were in the original games. Follow the story, find each one and try to catch it in battle.
Auto Hunt
Turn it on and your Trainer heads to the grass or the water alone, battles, fishes, uses Potions and medicine at the right time and, when they run out, stops by the healing center and goes back to hunting.
Moves and TMs
Unlock any move your monster can learn and pick the 4 it uses, Egg and tutor moves included. TMs teach moves at any level.
Evolution
Evolve from the PC at the original level, with Stones of the monster's types. Stones drop from wild monsters on maps of that element and in Gyms. Branching lines let you choose.
Complete battles
All 284 Abilities working, status conditions, weather, held items and form changes: Aegislash, Mimikyu, Castform and friends.
All of Kanto and Hoenn
Over 900 areas faithful to FireRed and Emerald, with animated water, flowers and waterfalls. Towns, routes, buildings, caves, ledges and doors, plus a World Map to find your way.
Surfing and fishing
With the Badge and a monster that knows Surf, get in the water. Pick a rod from your Bag and cast: when “Oh! A bite!” shows up, you have one second to reel it in.
Field moves
Cut, Fly, Surf, Flash and Dive just like the games: the HM, the Badge and a monster that knows the move. Flash lights up the cave for everyone nearby too.
PC and judge
Filter by type, Nature, Ability and IVs, sell in bulk and see each monster's investment grade: worth training, or time to find another?
Every monster is unique
IVs, EVs, Nature, Ability (with a rare chance of a Hidden Ability), gender and held item, all of which really count in battle.
27 starters
Start with any official starter, from Generation I to VIII. Drag to reorder your team: the first in line battles and follows you on the map.
