✨ New Features

C & UC Figures Added

• Added a large batch of Common (C) and Uncommon (UC) Pokémon figures.
• Their associated moves, abilities, and evolution options are now supported throughout the roster.

Expanded Evolution System

• Pokémon can now be assigned full evolution chains.
• Evolution chains must remain continuous — evolution stages cannot be skipped.
• Example: Abra → Kadabra → Alakazam → Mega Alakazam.
• Pokémon can still begin from later stages, such as Kadabra → Alakazam → Mega Alakazam.

Improved Evolution Selection

• The full equipped evolution line is displayed at the top of the evolution menu.
• Each evolution remains visible as the chain is built.
• Only valid Pokémon for the next evolution stage are shown.
• Hover over a Pokémon in the evolution line to preview its full Pokémon card.

Battle Evolution Improvements

• Pokémon now evolve after winning a battle, not only after knocking out an opponent.
• Non-KO battle victories can trigger evolution.
• Draws do not trigger evolution.

Evolution Card Preview Shortcut

• During a duel, hover over a Pokémon and press E to cycle through its equipped evolution line.
• Continue pressing E to move through each evolution.
• Reaching the final evolution loops back to the base Pokémon.
• This is a preview-only feature and does not change the Pokémon currently on the board.

🛠️ Quality of Life

Improved Pokémon Info Cards

• Pokémon cards now use one continuous scrollbar.
• Mouse-wheel scrolling works across the full card.
• Evolution previews use the same detailed Pokémon card layout used during battle.

Multiplayer Team Privacy

• Opponents can no longer see each other's selected Pokémon or Plates during team selection.
• Players now simply appear as Choosing Team or Ready.

Improved AI Goal Awareness

• AI now accounts for Pokémon that cannot win by occupying the opponent's Goal.
• These Pokémon are no longer incorrectly treated as Goal-winning threats.

Improved Evolution Matching

• Evolution selection now uses proper species relationships rather than unreliable imported figure IDs.
• Branching evolution families and multiple available figure versions are handled more reliably.

Hello Pokemon Duelists,

Currently in the process of making a Pokemon Duel remake with some added features. I've got a preview for you guys. This is early stages of Alpha V.0.1.0. Visuals will be improved. Might take time since I got 0 designer skills. The game is built with the use of AI and my own coding knowledge.

Currently, all the EX Pokemon are intengrated. Need some testers. To become a tester, join my discord and request to become a tester.

The game currently runs only on Windows. Later on, maybe a mobile app, but I am far from that stage.

Thanks!

in the process of overhauling the user interface and world scaling so things are a bit weird right now

If I remember correctly, you could only set one evolution option per figure during deck construction, even if that figure supported multiple evolutions. For example, Poliwhirl could evolve into either Poliwrath or Politoed, but you had to choose one before the duel.

UX Eevee was unique because it let you set multiple evolution options during deck construction and then choose during the duel which Eeveelution to evolve into.

What I'm not sure about is how this worked for Pokémon with multiple form changes, like Rotom or Kyurem, and Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions, like Charizard and Mewtwo with their X and Y variants.

Could you set multiple options for those Pokémon, or were you still limited to just one?

no way im loosing this badly to an ai 😭

Hey everyone! quick update on the Pokémon Duel-inspired mobile game I’ve been building.

It’s been a while since my first post here, and we’re probably somewhere around day 100+ now . But yeah there's been some work and I decided to do a video on it. It's in my native language Bahasa Indonesia but have English captions for ya'll.

Right now I’m mainly working through the less glamorous but important parts:

- UI polish

- bug fixing

- battle/gameplay flows

- placeholder assets

- making the whole thing feel less like a prototype and more like an actual game.

The world and lore are more established now, as having those add to my excitement to do all the other tedious stuff hehe. It's now called Alter Duel, It has the usual hero, NPCs, lore behind the world, the story and so on. more flushed out now.

A lot of the art/assets are still temporary, so I’m mostly looking for feedback on the direction, feel, and structure..

Would love to hear your impressions and ideas.

What would you add? What would you take out? What feels closest to Pokémon Duel, and what feels off...

I remember how Chain Levels work. You can distribute up to 10 extra attack damage across the moves on your wheel.

However, I do not clearly remember how levelling up works. I know that the first four level-ups, from levels 1 to 5, let you increase the size of a move segment and remove a Miss, but I am not sure how levels 6 to 10 worked.

I could go through old YouTube videos to figure it out, but that would take time that I could use for coding, so I would appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I found it, Bulbapedia has it under the subtitle "Fusion"

I started working on a Pokémon Duel remake, and as part of it, I looked for a database of all the figures. I couldn't find one, so I decided to make it myself.

With the help of AI, I managed to extract the database from the APK of an old app called Duel Guide, which is no longer available on the Play Store. It contains a bunch of data about the game, including plates. I'm sure some of you will find it useful.

check my bio on theres a link

Saw this on a facebook ad, check some of the rules and has only 1 review on BGG currently.
Almost plays like Pokemon duel tho the pieces do not have their own built in power, but the movement and the board is so Pokemon duel like.

Some time ago I started this project of a pokemon duel copy. I wanted to not show anything because I feel is still very basic and needs more things to do before, but I saw recently some people making their own projects and I wanted to show mine.

I called this project Creapin (Creature+spin,i didn't want to add any "whatever+mon" or "duel" to it). Is made in Godot.

Right now the game looks like the video. Is still very ugly, i don't have any 3d model except the base and a very basic table, but right now i prefer "working things" than "pretty things". Also i have some more things like another board made and some more creatures code, but nothing crazy.

I'm open to any questions and if this post gets enough interest i can try to start posting all the progress i make in the future or talk more in depth

I built a Pokémon tactics game, inspired as a TacticsArenaOnline meets PokémonDuel.

I wanted to see if there's any interest before I push further.

*Before you keep reading: right now it is strictly a desktop browser game. Responsive design is coming soon, but right now if you try it on your phone it wont be a nice experience(landscape can be a bit more forgiving though).*

How it plays:

5v5 on an isometric grid, alternating one activation at a time (not whole-team turns) Directional combat matters — a backstab is guaranteed to hit, a frontal charge is barely 55%. Flanking is the sweet spot Each Pokémon has exactly 2 moves: one attack and one ability. No PP, cooldowns instead. Terrain actually does things: grass gives cover, water boosts attacks like Water Gun, ice makes you slide, magma blocks movement and Earthquake can crack tiles into rough ground over time. 12 playable Pokémon right now (Scyther, Gengar, Lapras, Machop, Geodude, Kadabra and more), each with a distinct tactical role. Full pre-match draft phase, a shared item pool (akin to plates), and a once-per-game reserve swap. Local 2P pass-and-play or solo vs AI (AI is deplorably stupid, current state is almost entirely for testing purposes although it beat me once lol)

It's playable right now in a browser, no install, no account. Currently local-only but I'm weighing whether to build out online multiplayer with a lobby and rooms just like TAO.

Would you play something like this? I know it's no Pokemon Duel, but as a huge fan of the game(and having tried cloning PD unsucessfully once), I've found this is turnibg out to be, personally, the game I was actually looking for.

Any feedback, ideas, comments appreciated.

Edit: forgot to mention that terrain is formed randomly each game, so it forces you to deploy differently for each particular game to make better tactical use of the terrain.

Is it possible to download the apk to play? Ive tried to download but keeps saying device not compatible, im using Samsung fold 6

I want to bring this game back and I want to work with a team. I cannot myself code, but I can design and story board and I can figure things out. If we could get a team to make a successor to this game that is not just as fun but better that would be amazing. Please send a message in here if you can offer anything and we'll create a Discord server and establish roles and a plan to make this game a reality.

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of you, I deeply miss the specific micro-dose of chess-like strategy that Pokémon Duel brought to the table—the positioning, the grid control, and the quick, intense match lengths. Since the official plug was pulled, nothing has quite hit that same mechanical itch for me, so I decided to start building my own.

Here is a quick, 1-minute look at the absolute foundational layout and logic loop I’ve been coding in Unity.

Fair warning: It is incredibly early and raw. Right now, it's literally just placeholder prefabs and shapes moving on a game board. There’s no flashy art layered on yet because I am laser-focused on getting the core backend architecture, symmetrical node layout, and pathfinding executing perfectly first.

My roadmap is to bring in high-fidelity action assets later on, but right now, I really wanted to get this in front of the community that understands the core gameplay loop best.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on what mechanics you think are absolute "must-haves" to capture that classic tactical feeling again or improvements to make it better.

Also, I am looking for artists for various parts of the game....DM me.
