Pokémon Conquest Battle Movement and Attack Ranges
Plan each Pokémon around its one attack, movement range and battlefield objective.
Edition covered
Original 2012 Nintendo DS release. Uses Conquest links, one-move Pokémon and Ransei battle rules; main-series levels and four-move sets do not apply.
Check the move before advancing
Conquest Pokémon have one move rather than a four-move set. Its attack shape can hit several squares or leave adjacent blind spots, so choose the destination from which the attack actually connects.
| Step | Inspect | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Movement | Reachable tiles and obstacles | Choose a legal approach |
| Attack | Highlighted effect squares | Line up the target |
| Matchup | Type and damage preview | Avoid an ineffective finishing blow |
| Warrior Skill | Current benefit | Use when it changes the outcome |
Respect friendly positioning
An attack's affected squares matter to allies as well as enemies. Check the preview before firing through a cluster, and leave access lanes for the next Pokémon that needs to attack or link.
Read the battlefield victory rule
Some kingdoms require defeating the enemy; others revolve around banners or special terrain. A strong army can lose on the turn limit if it ignores the map's actual objective.
| Problem | Useful response | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Enemy behind a choke point | Use a suitable ranged pattern | Avoid blocking every attacker |
| Banner objective | Send a mobile Pokémon | Capturing matters more than damage |
| Turn limit approaching | Commit to the required target | Optional fights cost turns |
| Several allies in attack area | Reposition first | Prevent avoidable friendly damage |
Use the Warrior Skill at a useful moment
Each Warrior contributes a battle skill with limited use. Apply it when its movement, healing or offensive benefit changes the current turn rather than spending it automatically at the start.
