Game Modes

Like most Pokémon games, there are numerous game modes in which you can play the game. These modes provide a myriad of opportunities to play with friends or alone

Practice

Players: 1

In the Pokémon screen, where you can check the various Pokémon in the game, you have the ability to have a practice match using any of the Pokémon, including ones you don't have, versus Pokémon you have controlled by the CPU. This allows for you to test out various Pokémon, their moves and mechanics even before you purchase or obtain their Unite License.
