The player, accompanied by an Eevee, travels throughout the Ransei Region (ランセ地方, Ranse-chihō) befriending Pokémon and battling Warlords (ブショー, Bushō) and Warlord Leaders (ブショーリーダー, Bushō Rīdā) to conquer the region and unite it as one nation; Warlords and Warlord Leaders can join the player's party, allowing the player access to more Pokémon. The gameplay is turn-based strategy, with different Pokémon being capable of different attacks and means of movement. Warlords also have unique battle-changing powers that boost their Pokémon's powers. The various Warlords and Warlord Leaders are named after figures in Japanese history, with the game's Nobunaga (ノブナガ) being a take on the real Oda Nobunaga.
