This burst changes the appearance of the Pokémon who uses it often, it's just a small change, but if the Pokémon has a mega-evolution in the main series games, it will take the appearance of said mega-evolution instead. This bar fills up over time and when it is full, players can activate a "Synergy Burst". Players have a Synergy Bar at the corners of the screen. They're also always combo, but you can't change much about the grab attack, so it will often do the same amount of damage once used. Grab Attacks will always change the current phase.
Normal Attacks are the most used attacks and can lead into the largest combo. Normal attacks beat grab attacks, which beat counter attacks, which beat normal attacks, and so on. These three attack types will beat another attack type if both attacks are used at once, but will be inneffective on another attack type. Pokkén Tournament 2 has an "attack triangle" Normal Attacks, Grab Attacks and Counter Attacks. Most of the real fighting takes place here the goal is to deal as much damage as possible, unlike Field Phase which focuses more on getting to this phase.
The phase focuses mainly on using ranged attacks and dashing attacks to approach foes and use a strong attack to knock them into Duel Phase.ĭuel Phase is 2D, unlike the Field Phase, and plays like the traditional fighting game. These two modes make the game different from other fighting games.įield Phase is a 3D phase, meaning you can roam around the arena. Players swap phases whenever a particularily big combo happens, after a strong attack, or after a grab attack. The game is split in two battle phases players swap between during battles the Field Phase and the Duel Phase.
