Legendary rifts

Bonds (fused moves)

News 2026-10-11: every legendary you defeat in a rift gives a bond; link two moves so they fire at the same time from a single slot; further legendaries add more, up to 4 at once, freeing slots to learn more moves.

Judgment of Arceus mode

News 2026-10-13: at minute 30, Arceus descends and takes you to the Ruins of Judgment — invincible, chases faster and faster, and every 5 seconds a legendary joins with twice the HP and damage of the previous one. Three new achievements, new music, and the all-time leaderboard starts from scratch (as published).

Gacha and tickets
