What is Splendor Pokemon?
Splendor Pokemon is a Pokemon-themed edition of the Splendor board game. It keeps the engine-building shape of Splendor, then changes the game language around Poke Balls, catching Pokemon, reserving Pokemon, and evolving a collection.
Play Splendor Pokemon online instead of collecting gems for development cards: players collect Poke Balls, catch Pokemon, build permanent color icons, and look for the right moment to evolve before the 18-point race ends.
How to Play Splendor Pokemon Online
Play Splendor Pokemon online with the engine-building feel of Splendor, but with Pokemon language around catching and evolving. On a turn, players gather Poke Balls, catch a Pokemon from the display, or reserve one for later with help from a Master Ball.
Catch or reserve Pokemon
Pay a Pokemon card's Poke Ball cost to catch it, or reserve a normal card so you can catch it later and gain a wild Master Ball if one is available. Your reserved cards are hidden from other players.
Evolve and finish the race
Caught Pokemon give permanent Poke Ball icons for future turns. After your main action and any excess-token return, you may evolve once by meeting a caught Pokemon's printed bonus requirements, without spending Poke Balls. Choose its next stage from the display or your reserved cards; the old card no longer scores or provides icons. The final round starts once a player reaches 18 points.
What's New in Splendor Pokemon?
Play Splendor Pokemon online with the familiar Splendor structure, then add Pokemon-specific pieces for catching, reserving, and evolution. The online layout keeps the special cards and wild Master Ball visible so players can plan the next catch without slowing the game down.
Poke Balls
Five Poke Ball colors pay card costs. Caught Pokemon add permanent Poke Ball icons, making later catches easier and opening higher-point routes.
Pokemon display and reserve
The shared display shows the Pokemon available to catch. Reserved Pokemon stay visible to their owner and hidden from other players until they are caught later.
Master Ball
A Master Ball works as a wild Poke Ball color, making it useful for reserved cards and required catches that need flexible payment.
Rare and Legendary Pokemon
Rare and Legendary decks add one visible card each. These cards give two permanent Poke Ball icons when caught, and Legendary Pokemon score more. Both Rare and Legendary Pokemon require a Master Ball.

Is Splendor Pokemon the same as base Splendor?
It uses the familiar Splendor flow: tokens, cards, bonuses, prestige, and endgame timing.
Can you use Splendor expansions with Splendor Pokemon?
Use Splendor Pokemon as its own themed game by default. Cities of Splendor, The Silk Road, and The Sun Never Sets are base-game expansion routes and cannot be combined with Splendor Pokemon in this online game.
Are Pokemon card art or logos included?
The online game includes Pokemon artwork on its cards, alongside names, costs, color icons, and evolution reminders.
Is Splendor Pokemon different from Splendor Marvel?
Yes. Splendor Pokemon and Splendor Marvel are different themed editions, so keep their rules notes and play pages separate.
