Pokémon Idle Battlegrounds

Damage uses physical or special stats, same-type bonus ×1.5, type matchups ×0 / ¼ / ½ / 1 / 2 / 4, critical hits, move accuracy, and a random 85–100% damage roll. Pokémon choose useful equipped moves automatically. Moves have cooldowns instead of PP. Abilities and status effects follow the Generation VII baseline with real-time adaptations.

Each win gives half the defeated Pokémon’s level in coins, rounded up (minimum 1). XP is 8 + 4 × enemy level, split among deployed encounter participants. Team slots unlock permanently at levels 3 and 7. Open the next stage with 5 wins in the previous one and a partner at its minimum level. Level cap: 100. Seventeen stages span seven habitats and wild levels 1–40. Open Stats & moves to see evolution requirements and choose Evolve when ready; evolution is optional and preserves equipped moves. Your first encounter is a level-1 Caterpie. Later wild levels scale up to the strongest deployed partner within the stage's level band.

Every owned partner, including fainted and benched ones, recovers 5% of normal max HP per real minute. Fractional HP accumulates. A full team wipe returns you to camp without losing coins or reducing maximum HP. Pause and 2× only affect combat.

Subdued wild Pokémon remain alive at 1 HP for 60 seconds. Poké Balls use the Generation VII ordinary four-check capture formula with species catch rates and status bonuses. A caught partner keeps its level and joins at 1 HP. Captures may fail. The twelve newest targets stay available while you explore.

Only the chosen starter joins this save. Wild species across seven regions can be caught, with duplicates allowed. Poliwag learns Water Gun at level 1 in this demo to ensure it can attack. Shop prices, XP, cooldowns, recovery, subdued captures and injuries are demo rules. Potions also work at 0 HP, reviving the Pokémon. Potion restores 20 HP;

Evolution follows ordinary forms and Generation VII requirements. Level evolutions become available at their listed level. Friendship rises with level-ups (+5 below 100, +3 below 200, +2 thereafter); Golbat needs 220 friendship and a level-up. Trade evolutions use a local camp trade-and-return service. Evolution items are consumed once. Supported moves from earlier forms stay learned; this demo uses 114 supported moves. Gender and night conditions apply where required. Hold the evolution item before leveling up when requested.

HP and rewards save locally. Reloading returns you to camp; no offline battles or free healing. Everyone recovers while you are away. Export a backup before clearing browser storage.
