Bottom Line

This is a Pokémon trading card game that will expose your children to cartoon fantasy violence. Pokémon cards can "attack" with moves such as "stab", "bite", and "kick" but this is depicted by the cards bumping together so no actual violence is shown. Users have to upgrade to premium in order to use the chat functions but this unlocks a global group chat where children may be exposed to the risks of sexting, bullying, and coming into contact with strangers. Parents should know if a child under 18 is using this app.

Talking to Your Children

Any app that allows your child to chat with strangers in a group chat setting can expose them to the risks of sexting, bullying, and meeting strangers online. If you choose to allow your child to play this game and upgrade to premium, you should talk with them first about the risks of chatting with strangers and make sure they know how to behave responsibly while using this app. Please visit our Parent's Guides for more information on how to talk to your child about the risks associated with this app.
