According to Gamerant, one of the major strategies of "Pokemon Duel" focuses on spawn points. If you place a Pokemon on one of your opponent's spawn points, they can't bring a new Pokemon out on that mark. By blocking all of the spawn points, the opponent is stuck and would have to deal with the monsters that they currently have on the board. Defeating all of their remaining Pokemon already in play results in a WaitWin. Use this strategy when you feel like you have a strong match-up against the Pokemon on the board.
