TapIn Pokémon

PvP battles

Challenge any trainer who is online.

Sending a challenge

Press Challenge on a trainer's profile, or open the menu next to their name in a member list, the live audience or the chat. Both of you need to be online, free (not already in a battle or a running tournament) and have at least one healthy Pokémon.

The other trainer gets a toast with Accept and Decline. A challenge lasts 30 seconds; after that it expires. You can have one challenge waiting at a time.

During a live, a PvP battle opens in the side panel so you can keep watching the stage.

Winning

The winner earns ₽500 + ₽50 × the loser's highest level and 50 points. The loser pays nothing: PvP never causes a blackout.
