Pokémon battle mechanics
Pokémon battles are turn-based encounters where each Pokémon has specific types, moves, and stats that influence the fight. Moves have power levels and may be effective or ineffective depending on the opposing Pokémon's type. Pokémon also have health points (HP); battling reduces this HP, and the goal is to faint the opponent. Factors like type advantages, move accuracy, critical hits, and status effects add strategic depth. Trainers select moves each turn, aiming to outsmart their opponent by exploiting weaknesses and managing their Pokémon's strengths to emerge victorious.
