This game has five different ways of cashing in the players. First there are elements are present in every MOBA.
* Cosmetics (they already showed that)
* Character purchases – again ( they already showed that ) [but they are very pricy compared to other MOBAS](https://i.imgur.com/LDEbRyL.jpg)
Now the ugly part, the game also has;
* Premium Coins – sadly[ they aren’t cheap](https://i.imgur.com/RCQaeKp.jpg)
* [Gameplay boosting items,](https://i.imgur.com/MnIFXZG.jpg) yup, you can pay to get items that give you advantages in the gameplay. So any whale will have substantial advantage over F2P players that do not spend a lot of time in the game, which is something very weird on a MOBA game, i think this is the biggest flaw in the game as most MOBAS has character with fixed abilities that can only be upgraded during matches . Btw [You can pay 50$ to max level your Pokemon Battle pass and skip all the griding](https://i.imgur.com/CZc541n.jpg)
* The game also has [Battle Passes (Battle Pass Levels in Game)](https://i.imgur.com/r9O5Ztf.jpg) + [You need to level each Battle Pass to Level 99 to get all rewards](https://i.imgur.com/tEdZDZH.jpg) within pass. This game also has [Gacha Pulls](https://i.imgur.com/ECSnmcd.jpg) mechanics, if you decide to grind for everything, you will spend a long time to unlock a single character – you get an average of 50 aeos coins per won battle that usually lasts 10 minutes or more.
So if you dislike microtransactions, this is probably a game to stay away from unless you really like Pokémon, as it requires a lot of griding to get stuff in game without purchases whereas other games are mostly cosmetics.
