The game will feature touchscreen controls, and will allow players to catch Pokémon, which generates “Frienda Pick” cards. Players can then use these cards in future play sessions to add Pokémon to their party. A play session costs 100 yen (about US$0.65), but each generated Frienda Pick card prompts players in support of another 100 yen to print. As players can only see a maximum of five Pokémon per session, the maximum amount players can spend on each session is 600 yen (about US$3.85).
Players can execute battle together their selected Pokémon party, using various attack types unique to each Pokémon in an effort to win.
Marvelous and TAKARA TOMY A.R.T.S released the Pokémon Mezastar arcade game in September 2020. In the game, players use real-life physical tags to battle Pokémon. Users can also scan tags from Pokémon Mezastar in Pokémon Frienda.
