A piece that is damaged twice is removed from the board, but lose enough and you can summon a powerful Legendary Pokémon to assist you!

The rules are fundamentally the same as Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version, but the Pokémon pieces have differences that change the gameplay. Most notably, attacking Magikarp causes it to evolve into the powerful Gyarados!
