''Pokémon Duel'' (known as ''Pokémon Comaster'' in Japan) is a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' game for mobile devices developed by HEROZ. It was released in Japan for Android devices on April 12, 2016 and for iOS on April 19, 2016, and was later released in English in North America, Europe, and Australia on January 24, 2017. The game is free-to-start. In order to give the game the world's strongest AI, The Pokémon Company has partnered with HEROZ, whose app Shogi Wars is known for being able to defeat and challenge professional players.

The game is a strategy board game based on the Pokémon Trading Figure Game where players battle with figures and attempt to reach the opposing player's goal. Each figure has its own attacks and abilities; attacks are determined by spinning a wheel.

On July 26th, 2019, it was announced that the game would be shut down on October 31st, 2019.

!!''Pokémon Duel'' contains the following tropes:

* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: Taken UpToEleven with Quests mode, where you must scale all ten hotels to win the PFG Tournament.

* PowerEqualsRarity: Boy does it ever, with a few exceptions. However, that doesn't always save EX Pokémon from [[DiceRollDeath a bad spin,]] and with proper strategy one can defeat even the biggest, baddest OlympusMons by stalling them with a StoneWall or StandardStatusEffects and then surrounding them with your own figures, which is an automatic [=KO=]. That said, you still have a sharply uphill battle if you're stuck with a team of ComMons against a competent player with a team full of [=EX=] Pokémon.

* Railroading: All of the cutscenes always follow the same route, no matter which dialogue options you choose.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: It's your standard mobile Gacha game, with all the trappings like PowerEqualsRarity, Stamina Timers and so on, though slightly averted in that powerful figures still have a small chance to suffer a DiceRollDeath and the Stamina Timers mostly impede you from farming the single player story mode or the Gym Battle events for extra figures. Regular League Battles or organized Room Battles don't cost any energy to play, though League Battles can reward you with figure boxes that open on a timer mechanic (Or you can unlock them quicker [[BribingYourWayToVictory with gems, natch]]).

* DiceRollDeath: It doesn't matter how strong your figures are: get an unlucky spin and they're KO'd.
