1 STEP ONE

Connect your wallet — login only

Click Connect Wallet — login only at the top right. Your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare or Backpack) asks you to sign a short message. That proves the wallet is yours. It is not a payment and it does not move any funds.

Signed in, the button shows your wallet, trainer rank and gameplay points. Click it again to sign out. Switching wallets needs a fresh login.

Example of the message your wallet shows.

2 STEP TWO

Pick 3 Practice Pokémon

Open Coin Clash. The team picker lists the Practice Pokémon: free training Pokémon with real battle stats and 4 moves each. Tap 3 to fill your team; tap again to remove one.

The first Pokémon you pick leads the battle. Mix types so you always have an answer to the foe. On Explore you can inspect each Pokémon's stats and moves first.

3 STEP THREE

Choose a ladder stage

Below the team picker are 10 ladder stages against the AI. Stages appear once you are logged in. Start with stage 1; every win unlocks the next stage, and foes get tougher as you climb.

Pick a stage, check the Ready check on the right (login, 3 Pokémon, a stage) and press START BATTLE. Ladder progress resets every day at 00:00 UTC.

4 STEP FOUR

Battle: moves, switching, winning

  • Moves: each turn pick one of 4 moves (keys 1–4 work too). Each move has a type and limited PP.
  • Switch: swap in a healthy team member. Switching uses your turn, so the foe still attacks.
  • Fainting: when a Pokémon reaches 0 HP, your next one comes in automatically.
  • Win: knock out all 3 foe Pokémon. The battle log under the moves explains every turn.
  • Forfeit ends the battle as a loss.

5 STEP FIVE

Type matchups: hit where it hurts

Every move has a type. Against the right type it is super effective (2× damage); against a resisting type it is not very effective (½×); some hits have no effect (0×). Dual types multiply: 2 × 2 = 4×. During a battle the Type tip panel suggests your best move.

6 STEP SIX

Daily check-in & quests

On Explore, the Daily quests panel shows today's goals and the gameplay points each one gives. Press DAILY CHECK-IN once a day. Weekly quests run longer.

Battle wins also give points, up to a daily cap shown under the quests. Points are an in-game score: no cash value, not a token.

Example. Real quests and rewards appear on Explore after login.

7 STEP SEVEN

Open game packs, build your collection

On Packs, the Starter Pack is free once a day. Bigger packs cost gameplay points; the odds for each pack are shown on the page and some packs have a weekly stock limit.

Everything you pull is saved in My Cards: search, flip cards, open details, and fill your Pokédex. Game cards are in-game collectibles, not real cards or NFTs.

8 STEP EIGHT

Trainer rank

Your rank (Rookie, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Legend) shows on Rank and next to your wallet. In the practice beta everyone plays as a Rookie: rank gates and paid perks are switched off, so you never need to buy anything to play.
