New support Pokemon have also been added from the recently released Pokemon Sun and Moon while aside from characters, the game also features new gameplay modes including Team Battle and Group Match mode. Pokken Tournament DX features the complete roster from the original Wii U release but adds 5 new fighters for the DX version: Decidueye, Croagunk, Scizor, Empoleon, and Darkrai.

This is called phase shift and results in an interesting mix and match of combat styles. Despite the nod to Tekken, the combat featured in Pokken Tournament DX is entirely different and plays in full 3D arena battle style with focus on two different type of camera angles that can be changed in the middle of battle with an attack. The game was a collaboration between Bandai Namco Games and Nintendo and it was developed by the Tekken team hence the name is a spin on Tekken with Pokemon. Pokken Tournament was originally released on the Nintendo Wii U and just like Mario Kart 8, it has received an enhanced release for the Nintendo Switch.
