Pokémon Conquest features a turn-based strategy battle system. Up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on each side are positioned on the battlefield, one for each participating [[Warrior]], and both sides take turns moving and attacking with their Pokémon. A battle is won or lost when the engaging army manages or fails to achieve the victory conditions, which vary by location, within a numbered amount of turns, which also vary by location. When a battle is fought, the strength of the [[link]] (which is this game's analogy to [[experience]] points) between participating Pokémon and their respective Warriors will usually increase. Battles can be fought in {{DL|Kingdom location|wild Pokémon kingdom locations}}, or against other kingdoms, which are conquered upon victory. Free Warriors (including [[Warlord]]s) can be recruited to the player's army if they are defeated in a way that meets one of several recruitment criteria. Players may save their progress at any point in time during single-player, even during a battle. There is also a multiplayer local wireless mode in which two players may battle each other. In this, the host can decide to place no limit on the Pokémon's link (in which case, the highest registered value in the Gallery is chosen), or can choose to restrict the maximum link between 10-100, in multiples of 10. The host also chooses the battlefield, and allocates whether the player will attack or defend (the host can also choose "random", in which case, the player is randomly assigned to attack or defend.)
Pokémon Conquest features a turn-based strategy battle system. Up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on each side are positioned on the battlefield, one for each participating [[Warrior]], and both sides take turns moving and attacking with their Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a single move. A battle is won or lost when the engaging army manages or fails to achieve the victory conditions, which vary by location, within a numbered amount of turns, which also vary by location. When a battle is fought, the strength of the [[link]] (which is this game's analogy to [[experience]] points) between participating Pokémon and their respective Warriors will usually increase. Battles can be fought in {{DL|Kingdom location|wild Pokémon kingdom locations}}, or against other kingdoms, which are conquered upon victory. Free Warriors (including [[Warlord]]s) can be recruited to the player's army if they are defeated in a way that meets one of several recruitment criteria.  


Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their link with their Warrior. A Pokémon's single move will strengthen as the link increases, signified by +1 (20% link), +2 (40% link), +3 (60% link), +4 (80% link), or +S (100% link), being added to the move's name. Depending on how well matched a pair is, the maximum value of the link between the two varies, with most Warriors only able to achieve a 100% or Perfect Link with a single species of Pokémon. Aside from growing more powerful, Pokémon may evolve when their link reaches a high enough percentage, though there are also Pokémon which evolve through other conditions such as the use of specific items. Warriors can also establish links with Pokémon other than the one they started with, though only one can be used by each Warrior in a given battle at a time. Certain Warriors will have a more difficult time finding their Perfect Link than others, as some Pokémon only appear on special, random occasions. However, through the use of a password these Pokémon can be found much more easily. In the case of legendary Pokémon, which certain Warlords share Perfect Links with, they each have their specific criteria required for appearing.

The game makes use of the seventeen Pokémon [[type]]s and their respective weaknesses, resistances, and immunities. Pokémon also have various [[Ability|Abilities]], many the same as in the main series games, and many unique new additions. Warriors also have [[Warrior Skill]]s that can be used once per battle, which have various effects such as powering up or healing Pokémon. Warriors can also equip items, which can provide additional effects such as stat increases or in-battle effects.

Warriors can only take one action per month. This means a Warrior who is picked to buy from a {{DL|Kingdom location|Shop}} cannot be chosen to battle or [[Kingdom location|mine for gold afterwards]], as they have used up their action for the month, and the same is said for any other executed action. In the case of purchasing from Shops, the action only counts if the player actually buys or sells something, meaning that one can browse without using up the turn.  
Aside from battling, Warriors can perform other actions within their kingdom, such as buying items at the {{DL|Kingdom location|Shop}} and [[Kingdom location|mining for gold]].

In the case of purchasing from Shops, the action only counts if the player actually buys or sells something, meaning that one can browse without using up the turn.  
Besides Shops and mines, various other [[kingdom location|location]]s are available per kingdom, such as [[Ponigiri]] Shops. Feeding a Pokémon these will increase its {{DL|Statistic|Energy}}. Warriors can also battle at wild Pokémon kingdom locations or neighboring enemy kingdoms.

Warriors can also battle at wild Pokémon kingdom locations or neighboring enemy kingdoms. A maximum of 6 Warriors can be present in one kingdom, and Warriors can be transported between the player's kingdoms.


Also, instead of using up every Warrior's turn, the player can choose to delegate a kingdom by picking one of three options: Train (increase link), Search (recruit more allies), or Develop (increase gold and spend on leveling kingdom locations up). All Warriors who have not used up their action during the month by the player will automatically Train, Search, or Develop at the end of the month. All kingdoms the player controls, besides the player's main kingdom, can be delegated.

When the player does not use a recruited Warrior in a kingdom for a certain number of months, the Warrior will become dissatisfied and an angry face will appear on their profile page. Once they are used in the kingdom, the angry face disappears during the next month. If the recruited Warrior isn't used for a few months after the angry face appears, the Warrior will leave the army.  
Random kingdom events will also occur at times. Some events may occur depending on the player's current funds or an item in the inventory. Sometimes bandits will steal an item or a Warrior's Pokémon, or a traveling merchant may arrive selling rare items. [[Weather]] is another occurrence that may raise the Energy of Pokémon depending on their type; for example, a heat wave raises the Energy of {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Kingdom events which occur at the start of a month, such as buying items from a traveling merchant, do not use up a Warrior's action for the month.
 
Players may save their progress at any point in time during single-player mode, even during a battle.

===Muliplayer mode===
There is also a multiplayer local wireless mode in which two players may battle each other. In this, the host can decide to place no limit on the Pokémon's link (in which case, the highest registered value in the Gallery is chosen), or can choose to restrict the maximum link between 10-100, in multiples of 10. The host also chooses the battlefield, and allocates whether the player will attack or defend (the host can also choose "random", in which case, the player is randomly assigned to attack or defend.)

A Warrior who has not been used or been delegated for a while may become dissatisfied. An unhappy face will appear over the Warrior and will leave the army in several months unless the Warrior is used.
