Rare and wondrous Mortys are waiting to be earned if you can master the difficult Morty Games!

The news we’ve all been waiting for has arrived — Rick And Morty Season 3 drops July 30th, 2017! While we wait with baited breath for new episodes, there’s still plenty of Pocket Mortys to play, including the Morty Games addition that brings in a whole new way to force your Mortys to terribly maim each other.

Located on the far west side of the Citadel, the Morty Games features five large themed tournaments, each broken down into a series of battles where you have limited resources and only loaned Mortys to draw on. To keep you coming back for more, there’s a 24 hour cool down between each battle unless you spend Blips and Chitz tickets.

At the end of all those battles are five brand new, special Mortys that can only be won in the Morty Games and aren’t found out in the wild while battling for badges. 

    Welcome to the Morty Games!

Morty Games Selection Strategy

Each battle has a differing maximum number of points to spend (shown in the lower left corner) and each Morty or item you pick has a point value assigned (shown on the right side), meaning you have to be strategic in your picks.

In most battles you absolutely need one Morty of each type to counter the other Mortys, with leftover points used towards items. In a few battles, the other trainer doubles up on types (like two scissors Mortys). Those are noted in the trainer list below.

Buffs and debuffs in general aren’t as useful here — your goal is to kill as quickly as possible, so pick Mortys who have multiple attacks, and in particular pick ones that have one typed attack and one untyped attack.

Don’t forget to compare each of the Morty stats and abilities by tapping the “i” icon on the far right side. Some Mortys have the same point value but one might have more health or attack power.

If you don’t feel like guessing or learning through trial and error, you can cheat and use our handy breakdown below that shows you which specific lineup each enemy trainer will be using.

    Choosing a Morty Lineup

Winning The Morty Games

Dirty Rick (the guy at the storefront inside the Morty Games) will stash a handful of your items for 1,000 Schmeckles. This fabulous method of cheating is expensive, but frequently necessary. The enemy trainers get fresh new Mortys between each set of battles — but you have to keep using your busted old Morty selection. Health is one thing, but if you’re out of AP, then you might as well give up.

In the first round, you’ll briefly see the enemy trainer. The Morty directly behind him or her is the first Morty you’ll battle, so if you’ve memorized each Morty, you already know how you should set your lineup to counter in the first fight.

Unlike your typical Morty trainer in the wild, the Morty Games trainers will switch out Mortys mid-battle to screw with your attacks. Your goal is to take down the other Mortys as quick as possible, so if there’s an obvious imbalance in level and type, switch out as well to get the type advantage — but if you’ve got untyped attacks that will take care of the current enemy, just keep going.

If you aren’t careful, you can end up in a death spiral where you are trying to switch out every turn and just keep getting smashed along the way instead of doling out any attacks in return.
