What is Pokkén?

Pokkén Tournament DX is a fighting game for the Nintendo Switch made by the creators of Tekken and Soulcalibur.

In Pokken two players battle against each other using various Pokémon in a multitude of arenas. Pokken combines aspects of 3D arena fighters with traditional 2D fighters to create a fun fresh take on the fighting game genre. With a simple control scheme but without sacrificing depth and complexity, Pokken is a game for both casual and competitive players alike.

What is this subreddit?: This sub is dedicated to the game and as such, covers all the bases from casual play to competitive play. Feel free to hang with us!

Gengar! I'm I remembering wrong?

Recently started playing this again. I used to play on Wii u all the time and in DX it seems Gengar only has one victory screen? Outside of Burst one. Most characters have 2. I swear he used to have one were he was swimming in the floor then disappeared? Now its always the one were he looks at the results and trys to touch and lick them. Am I wrong or does he not have this anymore and why?

people grabbing in disadvantage?

I'm having trouble fighting some of the higher rank people online, and i notice a lot of them grab in disadvantage rather than try and do a burst option.

what's the way to counter this as garchomp?

Pokken 2 roster

Hello everyone! Instead if suggestions, I've made an entire new Smash Bros Ultimate esque roster, meaning a lot of people are here ( I decided to Merge Pikachu Libre and normal Pikachu and replace it Hawlucha for variety) So, what do ya think? I'd love your input!

Thanks to u/LuckyStiff007 and u/Intrepid_Ad8970 for helping me with this! You were really helpful!

Dude. This game is so good.

Alright. Ik im late. I was first introduced to this game in when it first came out, my cousin introduced it to me when he came over for a family trip and i fell in love with the game. At the time i didn’t have a switch so i can only play when he was around and we lived in two different states. I got a switch later down the line in life but around that time i had actually forgot about the game , so many things happened in life i couldn’t remember. Fast foward, im 22 now and i been having to much fun and im LOSING damn there every match i play. Had it two days,win or lose its a fun game , i feel like i wasted nothing. I really hope they make a second one for the switch 2. If anyone ever wants to play let me know!

Even More Ideas for fighters!

Hey! I've come up with some more ideas (sorry if this is getting repetitive)

  1. Not my idea but an idea suggested by u/Theak9000 Snorlax - heavyweight fighter that can deal big damage but easily gets tired and not be able to move whilst it rests.
  2. Skarmory - It can take hits like it's nobody's business
  3. Eternal Flower Floette - I think it could use that flower to launch a beam from far away (based on it's scrapped signature move)
  4. Hisuian Zoroak - Can set a trick room and make itself either faster or slower dpending on the pokemon it faces
  5. Incineroar - haha darkest lariat go BRRRRRRRRR

What do you think?

Just booted up the game for the first time

If I hadn't figured out a way to make Nia shut up I wouldn't even have reached the first fight holy shit this is the first time anything's ever annoyed me so much at an incredibly short amount of time.

More ideas for fighters

I have more ideas everyone!

  1. Nidoking - heavyweight fighter who can deal solid damage

  2. Urshifu - option to choose between single and rapid strike before battle

  3. Magcargo - OK here me out, what if it could pick up speed by rolling around in it's shell (kinda like the spin dash from sonic) to avoid damage and slam into enemies, and shoot flamethrowers from afar?

  4. Noiven - Screeches to send soundwaves from afar that stun the player if they run into them

  5. Tauros Can choose between all 4 of it's forms before battle

Should I play this game

I already own this and have for awhile and I’ve been seeing a lot of TikTok’s on it and was wondering if it was worth getting back into it?

Ideas for fighters

  1. Ogerpon - would be able to use her Cudgel as a weapon of mass destruction and can change between her masks inbetween battles, changing what the cudgel does as well.
  2. Ledian - I know it may sound stupid but I think Ledian could be a lightweight fighter that can deliver quick and consistent punches to its enemies to deal good damage overtime
  3. Iron Bundle - Can lay down ice making it harder for opponents for get to it whilst shooting at opponnts from afar
  4. Greninja - come on he should have been their from the start!
  5. Gliscor - Gets another jump which follows into a hover and this can be used to move away and deal damage from far away.

So, what do you think?

Ogerpon Masks Up For Battle

Hey there, everyone: I just wanted to share some of my ideas for some of the moves Ogerpon could potentially have in Pokken 2 if she were to be added. I also added my thoughts on a potential Support Pokemon* as well as a new stage location. (I plan on releasing these once every other week or so until I run out of ideas, so I hope y'all will like what I have in store :D)

* I know that Support Pokemon aren't locked to a certain fighter, but I figured it would work well to have them also themed around the fighter and/or stage :)

Here are some of the moves I could see her having (likely would not be all the moves)

Felt these two fit the Kitakami vibes the best

Was debating between the stage being here VS in front of the Dreaded Den, but I chose this as I felt it was a stage that be relevant to Ogerpon while not being limited towards being solely about her
