Like most games, Pokkén Tournament has got a myriad of modes and within these modes you have various features and means to play the game. These range from single player modes to multiplayer modes and even areas you can alter your character. This page is to detail these various modes

The modes are accessed by selecting various areas on the map of the Ferrum Region.

The Ferrum League is the main part of the game. In this, you have to battle through various leagues, defeating trainers to increase your rank. This is the story mode of the game and features a variety of trainers as well as the mysterious story of Shadow Mewtwo.

There are four ranks:
Green League (D Rank)
Blue League (C Rank)
Red League (B Rank)
Chroma League (A Rank)
Iron League (S Rank)

In this mode, you will face up against a number of trainers to get your rank to the Top 8. From there, you can then enter the Top 8 and eventually face the leader of the league.

This mode is simply where you can battle a CPU player. This is just a simple fight against one with nothing overall special. There is no story to it so it's just plain and simple battling.

There's also an Extra Battle mode. In this mode, rather than having Synergy Gauge additions show up in Field Phase, instead there are items that will show up. Blue boosts your Synergy Gauge, Green restores Hit Points but Red will increase Attack, Defense or Speed. There may also be negative effects from them.

The first mode is on one console where one player has to use the Wii U GamePad and the other player uses the TV with any other controller.
