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 [[Linking (Conquest)|link]] (which is this game's analogy to [[experience]] points) between participating Pokémon and their respective Warriors will usually increase.

When a battle is fought, the strength of the [[Linking (Conquest)|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 wild Pokémon locations within kingdoms, 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 reqruitment 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. | ||
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. | Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their link with their Warrior.

This means a Warrior who is picked to buy from a Shop or a travelling merchant cannot be chosen to battle or mine for gold afterwards, as they have used up their action for the month, and the same is said for any other executed action, including [[Ponigiri]] Shops and challenges to neighboring kingdoms. In the case of purchasing from Shops, the action only counts if the player actually buys something, meaning that one can browse without using up the turn. | ||
Players can choose to delegate by picking one of three options: Train (increase link), Search (recruit more allies), or Develop (increase gold and spend on leveling locations up). Various | Players can choose to delegate by picking one of three options: Train (increase link), Search (recruit more allies), or Develop (increase gold and spend on leveling locations up). Various locations are also available per kingdom, such as Shops, in which the player can buy items. Travelling merchants may also visit on occasion. These merchants have higher prices but offer evolution items as well as high quality supplies. There are also Ponigiri Shops. Feeding a Pokémon these will increase its Energy, which affects its performance in battle. Sometimes extra ponigiri will be offered. If the Pokémon eats too much of it, its Energy will decrease. If the Pokémon doesn't eat too much, the Energy level will be maximized. | ||
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 two months after the angry face appears, the Warrior will leave the army. | 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.
