Pokémon in this game may be rented or imported from Pokémon Red, Blue, or Yellow. The player's Dragonite faces off against the opponent's Parasect. The game was re-released on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on April 12, 2023.

Gym Leader Castle mode involves battles against the eight Kanto gym leaders and the Elite Four. The game includes four stadium cups, each of which is a series of three-on-three Pokémon battles against an ordered lineup of opponents.
