Depending on your move, you can deal 10 damage, 20 damage, or 40 damage. If your Pokémon's move doesn't do damage you need to rely on surviving. 

Courses[]

This is a list of all the tracks Pokemon can race on. They are all around 2–5 minutes each. Most of them are based on areas in the main Pokemon games.

Poké Ball Cup[]

  • Pallet Town Area- The most basic course in the game. You drive around Pallet Town in a circle three times. No obstacles other than houses you must drive around.
  • Jubilife City- You must race around a huge city three times. There are many different paths so you need to find the right path. No obstacles other than buildings.
  • Miltank Farm- A farm full of Miltank. You must drive around the course three times. You spin out if you hit a Miltank on the road. If you use a move on Miltank it will spin out allowing you to drive more freely. Pokemon Trainer's Poke Ball Toss can also capture Miltank allowing to drive even more freely.
  • Viridian Forest - A mazey course full of wild Pikachu and bug Pokemon. The Pikachu will shock you if you come too close. The course is so long, it is 2 laps.

Karts[]
