How to choose Seals in Kanto Tactics

The three PvP choices have a fixed rarity schedule:

• 2-1: Common. Choose one card from three.
• 3-2: Rare. Choose one card from three.
• 4-2: Mythic. Choose one card from three.

Everyone at the table receives the same rarity at each of these rounds. That does not mean everyone is offered identical cards. The notes describe more than 130 Seals across economy, shop, equipment, combat, types, weather, roles, formation and hero effects.

Normal and Ranked use this system, and friend rooms have it too. A private room is therefore a way to learn the choices with friends without assuming Seals are a ranked-only feature.

Version 35 gives each Seal selection its own 15-second timer. If it expires, the game picks for you. There is one reroll per pick. Use the current offer controls and keep one acceptable option in mind before rerolling. The older v34 per-card swap description is no longer this guide’s current instruction.

Tower blessings have a separate floor schedule and reroll control. Read the Tower blessing rules instead of applying a PvP round number to a climb.

First read what the Seal requires. A hero card shows the Pokémon it helps; a formation or type effect needs the appropriate board. Compare that requirement with your fielded units and the changes you can reasonably make before the next fight.

Then ask what the choice changes now. An economy or shop effect may support future purchases, while a combat effect may help the current team survive. A conditional effect that your board cannot activate should not be treated as immediate strength. This is a way to evaluate the text, not a claim that one category always wins.

For example, if a hero card names a Pokémon you do not own, check the other choices before committing your plan to finding it. If a formation effect needs different positioning, check whether you can make that arrangement while still protecting your damage dealers.

The team-building guide covers the underlying comparison between copies, type bonuses and field slots. Seals add another condition to that decision; they do not remove the need to read your units and items.

After choosing, hover over or tap your Seal. A ring marks the Pokémon it reaches. If its condition is not currently met, the Seal appears dimmed. Use those signals before assuming an effect is broken.

Check the condition again after moving units, replacing a type member or changing equipment. The card’s text and the highlighted recipients are more useful than its rarity alone. Gold and XP granted by a Seal appear from its icon; a flash marks a combat trigger. Weather from Seals is also shown on the battlefield.

You can inspect opponents’ Seals on their cards and while viewing their boards. On mobile, you can also inspect your current combat rival’s Seals. Return to your own board before making formation changes; the mobile controls guide explains the viewing controls.

Version 35 adds a mark to units receiving a position Seal’s bonus and a Seal-round marker on the round bar. Use those alongside the current card text.

Yes. Tower blessings begin offering Seals from floor 41, with stronger rarity pools later in the climb. The Tower allows at most seven Seals per climb, including at most two Mythic. Its floor-based schedule is separate from PvP’s 2-1, 3-2 and 4-2 choices.

Use the Tower blessing schedule when planning a climb. Do not apply a PvP round number or card-swap rule to a Tower blessing.

Version 34.1 fixes some Seals going out of sync between the PvP display and the server. It also corrects the gold breakdown so it includes gold from Seals. An older screenshot can therefore show a display problem that the patch addresses.

These fixes are separate from an inactive condition: a dimmed Seal can still mean that its requirement is not met. Check the card, highlighted recipients and current gold breakdown. If the problem persists, report the Seal name, mode, round and visible result through the game’s community channels. The patch does not change the published choice rounds or rarity schedule.

Type Seals no longer include Water or Psychic. Spare Change and Losing Streak are retired. Arrow Formation, Starter Trio, Cocktail, Combo, Youth League, Total Eeveelution and Mass Trade are new or reworked; read their current cards rather than reusing an older description.

Trait Window locks its traits at the start of the round. Pay Day returns to +1 gold every three KOs. Check the condition and gold breakdown before planning a purchase around that income.
