Two teams of 5v5, winning is based on points. You can collect points by killing (capturing) wild pokemon, or by defeating other player pokemon and getting points. Once you collect points you need to deliver those points in the form of a slam dunk to an opponents check point. Check points do not defend themselves like other games, but the more points you hold the longer it will take to slam that dunk. There is also a legendary that spawns at 2 minutes and can cause different effects and allow for quick capture or double capture of points for a short time.
There are about 20 pokemon to play as currently, each with their own specialties and moves. Before each match you'll get to pick your pokemon (no duplicates per team) as well as your moves and held items. There are different items you can unlock or upgrade by winning in game currency. Some are passive stat based, others are active based like potions or blinks. Types have no effect in this game, I.E. you will not have a strength as a water pokemon vs a fire pokemon. All of that is out the window.
Current Pokemon Roster as of last update:

Special Attack vs Normal Attack cheat sheet:
Looks fun. More like Heroes of the Storm, less like DOTA or League. No in game buying of items, mainly focused on using abilities and leveling up.

Got the battle pass and enough gems to unlock my beautiful baby cramorant and the associated outfit, along with gengar
From what I saw in the beta though its pokemon. So no chat. So no toxic chat 99% of the time.

Did I just hear someone say the words "Pokemon" and "MOBA" in the same sentence? You have my attention.
How am I only just now hearing about this game? This somehow flew completely under my radar.
It’s pretty enjoyable so far. Gameplay feels good and the abilities are fun.
This only works through the mobile app so it won't be very common

Ah fuck, *logs in*
Edit - Crisis averted, "Koopah" secured.

Edit - I stand corrected, there is a battle pass.

From what I've read, it's mostly cosmetics. I'm guessing you can speed up Pokemon acquisition by spending money to buy in-game currency as well, but that's usually never necessary in MOBAs.

Not sure if I agree with that post, but it lays it out for ya. There seems to be a limit in a) how many coins you can earn a week (2100), and b) how much energy you can spend on gacha rolls per week (1400) unless you cough up real money for either.
Doesn't affect this period since it literally launched today, but it could be a problem for long term as an "F2P". Right now it looks very pay to win.

I don't even see the battle pass. do you have to play a real match first? i only see the trainer level reward track
Twitch: KoopahTroopah - Steam: Koopah
There's also a free track and a paid track, similar to Apex. Paid track gives you better rewards, but you can still earn stuff by playing in the Battle Pass season.

For now just enjoy your matches and good luck/have fun

It'll be a grind to level them up but since you can't multi stack them there's only so much pay to win possible
I'm sure that won't last long, but still.
