Online modes will include Ranked, Friendly and Group matches, and the roster will be expanded with the latest additions made to the arcade version of the game, with Croagunk, Darkrai, Empoleon, and Scizor finally becoming playable at home. DBrand new character Decidueye will also be added to the roster.
