When it comes to Pokémon Cards, in addition to competitive matches played with collected decks, many people enjoy them as a hobby due to the high-quality artwork.
The cards appearing in this title are scheduled to range from nostalgic past illustrations to completely new cards exclusive to this app .
While physical Pokémon cards focus on paper quality, color, and printing processes, this title is said to challenge expressions unique to digital media, such as vivid coloring and glitter effects.

In the battle mode, new rules have been adopted based on the original design so that you can play casually during short breaks or free moments.
In the traditional Pokémon Trading Card Game, you win by taking all of your Prize cards before your opponent, but in this title, the first to reach 3 points wins.
Additionally, while weaknesses traditionally doubled damage, in this title they add 20 damage. The Pokémon ex rule is also updated, with the opponent taking 2 points when a Pokémon ex is Knocked Out.
The rules differ from the conventional trading card game, allowing for quick matches with friends using the cards you have collected!
