The Best Pokemon Medallion Battle Tips and Tricks

The basics of Pokemon Medallion Battle are fun and easy. You choose six Pokemon to form your own team and fight live head-to-head battles against other trainers. 

But when it comes to mastering the game, there are a few things you have to consider. Here are some tips to become a Pokemon Medallion Battle Pro:

1. Pokedex is your friend

  
Use the Pokedex to check the stats, powers and evolution path of a particular pokemon. 

2. Gotta catch them all Pokemon Starters
 Based on raw stats, powers and evolution growth, the Pokemon Starters are considered the strongest pokemon in the game. At the start of the game, you are only able to choose one out of all 21 currently available Pokemon Starters. But you have another chance to get a new Pokemon Starter by opening the free Star Packs you get every 8 hours in the game.

3. Evolve ASAP
 Pokemon may be evolved by spending Candy in increasing amounts depending on their rarity and their resulting tier. 

Rarity	To Pokéball	To Great Ball	To Ultra Ball
★	50	100	200
★★	100	200	400
★★★	200	400	800

Save your hard earned Candies for Pokemon that have the best evolved forms - they have a higher CP and possibly higher tier as well.

4. With great power comes great responsibility
There are a variety of powers in Pokémon Medallion Battle, which activate before they fight. Learn how to use them to win your battles:

• Super Effective: If activated, multiplies the CP of a Pokémon by either 1.5x, 2x, or 2.5x
  • May be activated by your opponent's Pokémon's type or tier
• Priority: Allows the Pokémon to fight immediately if its CP is higher
  • Affected by Entry Hazards and Support, but not any other abilities
• Protect: Prevents a Pokémon from winning or losing
  • Using Protect will cause you to go first in the next turn
• Reveal: Reveals a random Pokémon on your opponent's Bench
• Arena: Increases the CP of Pokémon of a certain type
  • Unlike Entry Hazards and Support, Arena takes effect immediately
  • Affects both players' Pokémon
• Entry Hazards: Reduces the CP of the next Pokémon played by your opponent
• Support: Increases the CP of the next Pokémon you play

Once a power is activated, it cannot be used again for the remainder of a battle.{source: bulbapedia}
