**MYSTERIOUS, MISCHIEF-MAKING YO-KAI ARE HIDING ALL AROUND US!**

Yo-kai wander around our world, invisible to most. Usually, they have no bad intentions, but they have a mind of their own paired with a unique talent! When something goes wrong in our everyday life, it’s often because of a Yo-kai in a mischievous mood…

With the power of the Yo-kai Watch, though, you can find these hidden Yo-kai, befriend them, and call upon their powers when you need their help. There are over 200 different types of Yo-kai, each with their own unique personality, just waiting to be discovered!

**FIND THEM AND BEFRIEND THEM!**

If you are lucky enough to befriend Yo-kai, they will give you their medal as a show of friendship, which you can collect in your Medallium. You can keep six of these medals in your Yo-kai Watch at a time to call upon these Yo-kai in battle, so choose wisely!

**IT TAKES ALL TYPES**

There are over 200 types of Yo-kai, each belonging to one of eight different Yo-kai tribes. If they are side-by-side in battle with members of the same tribe, it will increase their abilities.

**PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT**

The more your Yo-kai friends battle, the quicker they will level up and become more powerful. Luckily, there are tons of wild Yo-kai roaming your town to practise battling with.

**DOUBLE TROUBLE**

They say two heads are better than one, but what about two Yo-kai?

Yo-kai Fusion is an ancient technique that combines certain Yo-kai together to make a new, more powerful combo. You can even fuse some Yo-kai with items you might find around town! Experiment with different combinations and see what you can come up with.

**LEGENDS**

Known only as Legends, they are the most powerful Yo-kai and the hardest to defeat. If you collect all the medals for a Legend page of the Yo-kai Medallium, though, a Legend Yo-kai will befriend you!

Yo-kai Watch 1 for Nintendo Switch will launch for the hybrid console on 10th October 2019 in Japan.
