1. Divide Team Members Into Each Route
At the start of the battle, each team member should proceed to their specific lanes and defeat the Wild Pokemon that they encounter. Defeat wild Pokemon to gain Aeos Energy Points and EXP.

Once you've leveled up for a bit, head to one of the goals and score with the points you've collected. If an enemy is near the goal, either attempt to KO them or wait for them to leave their designated goals.
| TIP! | While it’s important to score goals to win, you should prioritize other objectives too! Being KO'd is not worth the risk when scoring a goal, so it's often more important to level up, defend goals, and capture Boss Pokemon! |

3. Battle Against Enemy Pokemon
You can also fight the opposing Pokemon to either remove obstacles that keep your team away from scoring a goal or to defend your own goal. If you KO'd the enemy Pokemon, you will get EXP points and you will be able to receive or drop your opponents' Aeos Energy Points. If you're KO'd, you will respawn later in your base.
4. Repeat Steps 1 To 3
Cycle between defeating Wild Pokemon and heading to Goals to score. If an opponent team heads to any of your team scores, defend it to prevent them from scoring.
Use Jump Pads To Get Around Maps Quickly
There are multiple Jump Pads that you can utilize to move around the map quickly. 4 regular Jump Pads can be found around the central area of the map and one Super Jump pad will spawn on your base during the 5-minute mark of the match!

Boss Pokemon Rotom & Drednaw will spawn at the upper and lower areas of every map. They are stronger than other Wild Pokemon but they will provide a buff to the whole team when captured, so try to battle them with two or more players to ensure success.

Prioritizing Drednaw will cause your team to gain the EXP lead that can be used as an advantage against your opponents. Try to immediately group up and capture it after spawning. It's ideal for at least one player from the top lane to rotate the bottom during this time as well.

On your last 2 minutes, the Legendary Boss Pokemon Zapdos will show up in the middle of the map. Capturing it will stop the charging time for scoring goals for a fixed time and it will also deal with damage to your opponents.
