Play Pokéjam

Five Pokémon a side, a shot meter that punishes an early release, and type matchups that only bite when bodies collide. Draft a team, pick a gym leader, and the game runs the rest — free, in the browser, with nothing to install.

First thirty seconds

1. Click once inside the frame so the keyboard stops scrolling the page.
2. Choose Quick Play, then pick a gym leader to face.
3. Draft five Pokémon, one for each position.
4. Hold J or Space to shoot and release on green.

Who you are picking

The roster holds 291 Pokémon across five positions. Centres are the rarest — 36 of them, but 42% rate 85 or better — while shooting guards are the deepest and the weakest on average. Two of the three best players in the game are centres.

Keep the guide handy

• Controls and the shot meter — timing rules, dunks and alley-oops.
• Draft guide — why the fifth pick should almost never be a shooting guard.
• Full roster — every rating, sortable, with position pages.

Pokéjam runs from pokejam.xyz. This guide never hosts the game and receives nothing from inside the frame.

A black frame usually means the game has not finished loading — use the reload button above. Online matches run through the game's own backend, and a cross-site frame gets less storage than the game expects, so a sign-in can occasionally fail on a first attempt.
