100% pay to win. Example, you need "speacil ingedients" to ultra evolve monsters that matter. I got to rank 20 to unlock "speacil ingredients" and now i have to get to rank 45 to unlock the sub section 🤣 ✋ (read between the lines 😅) im sure when i hit rank 45 ill have to hit rank 65 to search for the "speacil ingredient" inside of that sub section 🤣. Oh and those sub section are behind time walls too. Every 4 days you can go to a different sub section of "speacil ingredients". Game is a joke
