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!

Just got this game finally at the end of the year 2024.

Been meaning to get it for years on my list but never have. Finally got it from Santa. It's incredible. I love the roster. With 1000 Pokemon to choose form they managed to get lots of the favourites and also some odd picks too.

The gameplay/controls and phase shifting seem absolutely preposterous at first but me and a friend picked it up in about three hours of play.

What I've noticed looking into it is that there seems to be no set tier list for this game. I've searched around and it always looks like every result can have wildly different placements which is kinda cool. Also I notice this sub is near dead so I assume the community around it is as well.

How are you supposed to counter Braixen?

In the duel phase she can just spam that giant fireball attack and the only thing you can do is just block.

Timing button presses

Preface: I have always loved and sucked at fighting games, so apologies is this has an obvious answer.

I was practicing combos with Gengar and noticed that hitting buttons too quickly doesn't register inputs. The only way I could execute combos was by pressing buttons more rhythmically rather than just mashing.

Is this intentional? Are all Pokemon like this? I was worried that there was something wrong with my switch.

Thanks!

HITMONCHAN GETS THE KNOCKOUT

Greetings everyone! Hitmonchan's moveset is finally done! This is probably the one with the most references in it I've done so far, and it was tricky! But worth it as well! For those who wanted Hitmonchan, enjoy! BTW to the one person who said in the Roster post Hitmonchan should be like Steve Fox, ur wish has been granted :D

How many References can ya spot?

REVAVROOM SHIFTS INTO HIGH GEAR

Hello Everyone! I'm back with another Moveset. Thanks to everyone who took part in the poll I set up! I'm currently working on Hitmonchan's in the background, don't worry I'm doing him too. Also, to the person who wanted neither on the poll, it's still bugging me that I don't know what you wanted so can you PLEASE Tell me what u want from my roster in the comments please?

I wanted Revavroom to be a bit more ambitious than Ledian and Gliscor. What do ya think?

Edit: Alright, the results are in! Revaroom's movest will be made first, followed by Hitmonchan. To the person who said neither, I'd appreciate if I knew which u want from my roster

GLISCOR STALLS OUT THE ENEMY

Blimey, another post so soon you may be asking? Yes. I still had a bit of drive to make movesets after Ledian so decided to make one for Gliscor, which I'm happy with, so this is a Bonus for now. Imma keep going with this, but do so in the background. Not constantly pump 'em out, y'know? What do ya think?

If you can guess why I named this post what I named it, you get an upvote :)

LEDIAN BUZZES IN

Decided to theorycraft a Moveset for Ledian since he's in my roster! What do ya think? Should I do another?

Ledian is a balanced stat fighter that is 30% confident, and 70% regreting its life choices in entering the tournament

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?
