What is Poke Battle Blitz?
A free browser-based Pokemon tournament game. You compete in a knockout bracket against AI trainers, drafting your team's matchups before each battle and watching them all fight simultaneously. No downloads, no accounts needed.
How is my team chosen?
Each team slot is randomly assigned a type, then a random Pokemon of that type fills it. No duplicates are allowed on the same team. You have no control over this — part of the challenge is working with what you're given.
How does the draft work?
A coin flip decides who picks first. The winner deploys a Pokemon to the first battle slot. The opponent sees only that Pokemon's type and picks a counter. Roles then flip for slot 2. This snake draft continues until all slots are filled. From round 2 of the same match onward, both teams are fully visible.
How does battle work?
All slots fight simultaneously. Speed decides who strikes first each turn. The attacker automatically picks whichever of their types deals the most damage against the defender, factoring in physical vs special stats and type effectiveness. When HP hits zero, that Pokemon is eliminated permanently.
What are the special filters?
Starters Only — final evolutions of all regional starters, guaranteed one fire/water/grass per set of three slots.
Legendaries Only — only legendary and mythical Pokemon.
Ace League — non-starter, non-legendary with base stat total above 500.
Scrub League — base stat total under 301. Pure chaos.
Trainer League — base stat total between 300 and 401.
Eeveelutions — Eevee and all its evolutions only.
What do the settings do?
No Legendaries — excludes legendary and mythical Pokemon from the random pool.
Hide Opponent Round 1 — in the first draft of each match, opponent Pokemon show only their type. From round 2 onward everything is visible.
Heal Between Rounds — when on, winning Pokemon are restored to full HP before the next battle round within the same match. When off, damage carries over, adding attrition pressure.
How do I win?
Defeat every opponent in the bracket without losing all of your Pokemon. When you eliminate the final opponent, you are declared Champion. If all your Pokemon faint in any matchup, the run is over.
