Despite the numerous updates and changes, any mobile device (Android or iOS) made around 2018 will be able to run the game.
For PC, that’s not an issue since Pokemon games, and this one, Pokemon don’t require a lot of processing power.
Getting ROMs for PokeMMO

Even if you download and install PokeMMO, if you don’t have any of these ROMs, then the game won’t run.
