Ranking Every Pokémon Mobile Game Worst To Best
1. Pokemon Duel
The best Pokemon game on mobiles is undeniably Pokemon Duel. It takes a nuanced strategy game and adds Pokemon-themed mechanics that transform the experience into a game that's easy to understand yet difficult to master
Based on the short-lived Pokemon Figure Trading Game, a board game that never made it big, the game is a simple strategy match where you have to move your Pokemon around a grid and reach the opponent's goal. When you reach an enemy's Pokemon, you both spin a unique spinner that each Pokemon has, and the Pokemon that spins the lowest number gets knocked out.
But with the addition of interesting abilities Pokemon have which lead to changing gameplay, and evolutions which means your Pokemon gets better if it beats enemies, the game steps above Pokemon mobile games by successfully combining a great game with the Pokemon theme to create something truly unique.
Although the microtransactions included as part of the game can put a dampener on the fun of creating a great team to stomp all over your opponent, Duel is still the best Pokemon experience you can have on a mobile device.
