Your choice will be vital especially during the early stages of the game as it will define how your adventure will be.
Train Them
Each Pokemon will have a specific attack skill and health bar. The Pokemon that you choose to play will have an advantage over a specific type of Pokemon so always play with your current Pokemon's strengths.
Make sure to train all of your Pokemon together to make them equally strong.
Capture New Ones
In Pokemon Quest, instead of capturing Pokemon by defeating them and using a PokeBall, you can attract a new Pokemon by cooking.
Tap the pot located at your camp and choose the ingredients. The type of food that you make will attract a certain type of Pokemon that you can capture and train.
Empower Your Pokemon
The game also has a set of Power Stones that empower your Pokemon to be stronger. Equip Power Stones to increase their attack or their health.
Remember that there are different types of Pokemon and each socket will have a different effect on your Pokemon companion.
Conclusion
