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 {{DL|Warrior|Recruitment|recruitment criteria}}. | Pokémon Conquest features a turn-based strategy battle system.

Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their link with their Warrior. A Pokémon's 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 [[List of items (Conquest)|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. | Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their link with their Warrior.

The game makes use of the seventeen Pokémon [[type]]s as of [[Generation V]] 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. | The game makes use of the seventeen Pokémon [[type]]s as of [[Generation V]] and their respective weaknesses, resistances, and immunities.

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. | Random kingdom events will also occur at times.
