5 Best Pokémon Games on Android

Besides Doraemon, Dragon Ball, and Naruto, Pokémon also has a huge number of loyal fans. Since the 90s, this anime has been very popular among kids. Because of this, many Android game developers have created Pokémon-themed games.

If you love the cute Pokémon characters, why not try some of these games? All of them are free to play on your phone. Here are the reviews.

1. Pokémon UNITE

This game mixes the Pokémon world with MOBA-style gameplay. You will play as a Pokémon in a 5 vs 5 team, trying to collect Aeos Energy points and score them in the enemy’s zone within 10 minutes.

The team with the most points wins. Each Pokémon has a role like Attacker, Defender, or Speedster, and each has its own ultimate skill.

You can choose from dozens of Pokémon from different generations, such as Pikachu, Charizard, and even Cramorant. The game modes are complete, with ranked, casual, custom battles, and quick battles available.

The skill system is not too hard to learn, so even beginners can enjoy it quickly. But if you want to play better, you still need to understand team roles and strategy. Pokémon UNITE also holds regular tournaments and events with special item rewards, which keeps the game fun.

What I like about Pokémon UNITE:

• Fun mix of Pokémon and MOBA gameplay
• 5 vs 5 battles that last only 10 minutes
• Many modes and competitive events
• Easy skill system for beginners

One thing to note:

• A balanced strategy and team roles are important to win

2. Pokémon Quest

Pokémon Quest has a different style with Minecraft-like cube characters called Pokéxels. In this game, you lead a team of Pokémon to explore Tumblecube Island and build your own base camp.

Your Pokémon will move and attack automatically, and you only need to tap their special skills at the right time. You can also decorate your base camp with items that look nice and give benefits, such as more materials or bigger storage for Pokémon.

The gameplay is light and relaxing, perfect if you like cosy games. The auto-battle system also makes it easy to play without too much effort.

What I like about Pokémon Quest:

• Cute block-style Pokémon designs
• Simple auto-battle gameplay for easy exploration
• Fun base camp decoration feature

One thing to note:

• Game progress can feel slow

3. Pokémon Café ReMix

In Pokémon Café ReMix, you run a café that serves Pokémon customers. The main gameplay is a puzzle where you link Pokémon face icons by swiping your finger across the screen.

The puzzles get more interesting with extra challenges, such as sugar cubes that need several hits to break or whipped cream that blocks your moves. Completing puzzles lets you serve dishes to your Pokémon customers.

Pokémon that visit often can join as café staff. For example, Pikachu can become a barista and Eevee can be a waiter. Each staff member has special skills to help you finish harder puzzles.

As you complete more levels, your café grows bigger and unlocks special menu items like Eevee Latte or Pikachu Curry, which can attract rare Pokémon.

What I like about this game:

• Adorable characters and café design
• Fun puzzle style that feels different from usual match-3 games
• Can recruit Pokémon as café staff
• Menus and dishes grow as you progress

One thing to note:

• Puzzles get harder at higher levels

4. Pokémon TCG Pocket

This is a digital card collection game where you can open virtual card packs every day, trade cards, and battle with other players. You get two free card packs daily, each containing five cards. Some cards even have exclusive illustrations that you cannot find in the physical version.

One of the most interesting parts is the 3D cards, where you can explore the card artwork interactively. It almost feels like stepping into the Pokémon world. Players can not only collect cards but also battle, show their rare card collections, and trade with others, as long as both cards have the same rarity.

With beautiful visuals and an active community, this game feels more like a place for digital Pokémon card collectors than a competitive battle game.

What I like about this game:

• Free booster packs every day with exclusive artwork
• Interactive 3D card viewing
• Fair trading system based on card rarity
• Attractive visuals and active community

Things to note:

• Focuses more on collecting than on competitive battles
• Can feel repetitive if you are not a Pokémon card fan

5. Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO is different from most other Pokémon games because it makes players move around in the real world. This augmented reality (AR) game uses your phone’s GPS and camera to let you find and catch Pokémon in real time, as if they are right in front of you.

You can collect Pokémon, train them to become stronger, and use them in battles against other players to win rewards. The game often holds special events and seasonal content, making it fun to play all year round.

What I like about Pokémon GO:

• Encourages players to be active outdoors
• AR visuals make Pokémon feel real
• Many special events and seasonal updates
• Fun for all ages

Things to note:

• Uses a lot of battery because of GPS and AR
• Needs a stable internet connection and GPS
