Pokémon TCG Live offers several ways to play. Here they are, according to Poképédia.
The tutorial
Professor Juniper welcomes the player, who customizes their avatar, then learns the rules in four quick battles, before a match against a computer-controlled Trainer.
Ranked mode
You face other players in the Standard format, over monthly seasons, to earn rank points. Six leagues, each divided into sections featuring a Pokémon, give out rewards:
- Beginner League
- Quick Ball League
- Poké Ball League
- Great Ball League
- Ultra Ball League
- Master Ball League
Casual mode
- Standard, to play with nothing at stake;
- Expanded (beta), with every card since Sun & Moon;
- Trainer Test, where each card exists in only one copy, apart from basic Energy cards.
With friends
Friends can face each other in friendly matches, but can no longer trade cards.
