How the daily red battle works
Three things decide your day: the team you are handed, the lead you choose, and the turns you take.
- Step 1
A new six at local midnight
Your team is drawn from the same 30-Pokemon pool for every player, so the challenge is identical worldwide on a given date. Reload as often as you like before you begin — the lineup will not move.
- Step 2
You choose the lead, not the team
Moves, items, abilities and stats are fixed. The only roster decision you make is who walks out first, and that single choice often decides the battle.
- Step 3
One official attempt, saved move by move
Your first recorded battle counts toward your streaks. Close the tab mid-turn and it waits for you. Practice runs are unlimited and never touch your record.

Why Red is hard
Red's team never changes, so every loss is a lesson you can reuse tomorrow.
His lead punishes Ground-less teams
Pikachu holds a Light Ball that doubles its Special Attack, so its Thunderbolt lands like a much heavier Pokemon's.
His team is built to switch
He will pull a Pokemon out of a bad matchup. Plan for the Pokemon that comes in, not only the one in front of you.
You win on knockouts, not on damage
Six knockouts is the win condition. Out-damaging one Pokemon while losing two of yours is still a losing trade.
