Pokémon Stadium

Your primary goal in Pokémon Stadium is to win Pokémon battles in various stadium cups. You begin by selecting a team of six Pokémon, either by transferring your own from a Game Boy cartridge using the Transfer Pak or by choosing from a selection of rental Pokémon.

Battles are turn-based; you select an attack for your active Pokémon each turn, aiming to reduce your opponent's Pokémon's HP to zero. Type advantages are critical, so building a balanced team that can exploit weaknesses is a key strategy.

In the early stages, focus on learning the strengths and weaknesses of the rental Pokémon if you aren't using your own. The game also features a series of mini-games which require quick reflexes and can be played with up to four players.

During tense moments in a battle, managing your party's health and making strategic switches can turn the tide.
