Type Matchups Matter

Learn the type effectiveness chart. A super-effective move deals 2x damage, while not very effective deals 0.5x damage.

Build a Balanced Team

Use the Team Builder tool to analyze your team's weaknesses. A good team covers each other's type disadvantages.

Catch Everything

Try to catch at least one of every Pokemon you encounter. Some are exclusive to certain areas or conditions.

Train Multiple Pokemon

Don't just focus on your starter. Having a diverse team at similar levels helps in tough battles.

Explore Thoroughly

Hidden items and secret areas are scattered throughout the world. Talk to every NPC and check suspicious tiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PokeChill free to play?

Yes! PokeChill is completely free to play in your browser. No downloads, no subscriptions, no hidden fees.

Where is my save data stored?

Your progress is saved in your browser's localStorage. Use the Save Manager tool to export backups - if you clear browser data, your saves will be lost without a backup.

How do I evolve trade-evolution Pokemon?

In PokeChill, trade evolutions have been modified - most can be evolved using special items or at certain levels instead of requiring trades.

Why can't I catch a Pokemon?

Catch rate depends on the Pokemon's HP (lower is better), status conditions (Sleep and Freeze are best), and the ball used. Try weakening it more or using a better ball.

How do I get Mega Evolutions?

Mega Stones are found throughout the world. Once you have a Mega Stone and the Mega Ring, select the Mega Evolution option in battle before attacking.

Can I play on mobile?

Yes! PokeChill works on mobile browsers. For the best experience, play in landscape mode and use the on-screen controls.
