Lose When No Pokemon Left on Your Field
If there are no Pokemon on your opponent's Bench, and their Active Pokemon is Knocked Out or removed from the Active Spot (e.g., by cards like Aerodactyl), you win. This also applies to you, so make sure to always have at least one Pokemon on your bench.
If Your Time Runs Out, You Lose
Each player has a "Battle Time Limit" and a "Turn Time Limit."
Battle Time Limit
You can check your remaining time by looking at the timer at the bottom. It only ticks during your turn, and if you use up 20 minutes, you will lose the game.
Turn Time Limit
The time available for each turn is displayed at the center of the screen. The time limit per turn is 90 seconds, during which you will choose to Evolve or Attack. If you run out of time, your turn will be forcibly ended.
Selection Time on Opponent's Turn
When your Pokemon is knocked out on your opponent's turn, or when Sabrina is used, a time limit will be running while selecting your Pokemon. If time runs out, a random selection will be made from the available choices.
Continue Even if Deck Runs Out
Even if you have drawn all the cards in your deck and have to draw a card, you will not lose due to running out of cards. The battle continues without any cards being drawn.
Draw Conditions Summary
- Reach 3 Points at the Same Time
- Lose All Pokemon on the Field Simultaneously
- No Winner by the End of 30 or 50 Turns
Reach 3 Points at the Same Time
Some Pokemon attacks can deal damage to either themselves or Pokemon on the Bench. If both your Pokemon and your opponent's Pokemon are knocked out at the same time using that attack, resulting in both players reaching 3 points, the game will end in a draw.

Lose All Pokemon on the Field Simultaneously
In a situation where both players only have Pokemon in the Active Spot, if both players use an attack that deals damage to themselves resulting in their Pokemon being knocked out, it will result in a draw regardless of the points.
No Winner by the End of 30/50 Turns
In a "Versus" battle, after 30 turns have passed for both players, the battle will be forced to a draw. In "Solo" mode, the limit is extended to 50 turns instead of 30.
