Pokémon Mezastar: Difference between revisions

The types attributed to Pokémon are indicated by symbols to the right of their name on the obverse of tags. A Pokémon may have either one or two types, and determine what types of move it will be weak against or resistant to in battle. The types featured in Pokémon Mezastar are the same as those found in the core series and share their individual strengths and weaknesses. Most Pokémon can use only one move, as opposed to four in the core series, though some also have access to an additional [[Z-Move]] that can be used once per battle. The move name and its type are present on the reverse of tags. The [[damage category]] of the move is also highlighted and linked to the relevant stats.

===Pokémon Grades===

Pokémon in Pokémon Mezastar are divided into Grades, as indicated by the star rating on tags. Grades 2 through 4 are considered standard rarities and include tags with portrait illustrations. These tags also have colored backgrounds on the obverse and colored sections on the reverse based on [[Poké Ball]]s to denote their overall strength: Grade 2 Pokémon feature red sections, referencing standard {{i|Poké Ball}}s; Grade 3 Pokémon feature blue sections, referencing [[Great Ball]]s; and Grade 4 Pokémon feature yellow sections, referencing [[Ultra Ball]]s. Grade 5 Pokémon are called Star Pokémon and have landscape illustrations with a Holofoil treatment. These tags also have a purple-colored section on the reverse, referencing [[Master Ball]]s. Star Pokémon are typically [[Evolution|fully-evolved]] and may also have additional abilities, such as being able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] or have access to a [[Z-Move]]. Grade 6 Pokémon are called Superstar Pokémon, which have Holofoil landscape illustrations and a rainbow color scheme. The tags themselves are black and lamé-treated as opposed to the regular gray of lower Grades. Superstar Pokémon mostly comprise [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]].
