Pokémon Palladium

Pokémon Palladium (Japanese: ポケットモンスターパラジウム Pocket Monsters Palladium) is a core Pokémon game that's designed to fix many of the problems the series has had in the form of a reboot, with the introduction of many new mechanics and the return of old favourites, as well as the inclusion of heavy revamps of existing features.
The game is set to come out on the Nintendo Switch, and is part of a generation known as as Generation Palladium. There is no set release date.
=Plot=
==Story==
The game takes place in the vast region of Devor. On the day of you and your twin sister's 18th birthdays, your parents surprise you two with the opportunity of a lifetime: to start your journey on becoming a Pokémon trainer. They asked one of your mom's friends, Professor Dragonsblood, to present three rare Pokémon to the both of you, one of which will accompany you on your travels.
You're aware of the dangers of venturing out on your own in Devor; the dangerous criminal organisation of The Paragon had been a popular subject on the news, after all. But your parents have been pushing for it for a while, and being formidable trainers themselves, their faith in you surely isn't misplaced, is it?
==Setting==
Devor is divided into three main sections: Devor Sinis, Devor Medias and Devor Dextros. These correspond to the left, middle, and right portions of the region, respectively. Devor is then further divided into districts, consisting of groups of villages, towns, and cities. These are all connected by various routes be they land or sea, as well as the vast underground sewage and train systems. 
The region is quite diverse in landscape. In the north are untamed tundras and taigas dotted with steep mountain ranges; in the south are immensely humid jungles, swamps, and vast deserts; in the west are heavily urbanised locales sandwiched in between mountainous crags; in the east are rolling meadows and lakesides. Beaches and coves are also found in frequency near the centre of the region.

==Difficulty==
Pokémon Palladium offers four levels of difficulty at the beginning of the game: Beginner, Casual, Intermediate, and Challenge. What difficulty the player chooses will determines the levels and AI of your opponents, as well as additional challenges put in your way throughout the game. You cannot change it once you've started a playthrough.

==Exploration==
Unlike the rest of the series' main, mostly-linear entries, Pokémon Palladium's game world is an open world that can be freely explored, with its gyms being able to be approached at any order. There are many areas, however, that can only be accessed once the player reaches a certain level or when certain milestones are reached such as obtaining gym badges or reaching particular points of the story. Side quests are also prevalent as a result of this layout, and there are quite a few attractions such as the returning Contests, Movies, Musicals, farms, Pokéathlons for the player to indulge themselves in.
The day and night cycle returns, as does the Seasons mechanic from Generation V. These factors, especially the latter, radically effect how the environment and even some of the characters and Pokémon act.
==Battles==
The battle system of Pokémon Palladium is a large departure from past games, forgoing the turn system in favour of dynamic, real-time battles. The most important change is that the player can now direct the movements of their Pokémon on the battlefield and the aim of their moves, severely downplaying the Accuracy and Evasion stats. This also means that Physical and Special moves receive increased distinctions, adding more mechanical skill to battling with the added aspects of spacing, aim, and well-timed dodges.
Moves now rely on two different values: PP and CD. In this game, PP is a single, standard meter, like HP, from which all moves draw from. CDs are short for Cooldowns, or the amount of time it takes for a move to be usable again after being used.
The switching mechanic has also been changed. Instead of letting the player switch Pokémon whenever they want, cooldowns are placed on the player's inactive party members. These numbers vary depending on the scenario; if it's the beginning of a battle and the player had just sent out their first Pokémon, the cooldowns of their inactive Pokémon are equally short. Once a switch is made, however, a cooldown starts/resets on the switched-out Pokémon, growing longer with repetitive usage. This is to prevent the practice of baiting by putting more emphasis on quick thinking.
The use of items mid-battle are discouraged, as the player has to use them in real-time and a poorly-timed use can and will leave their active Pokémon vulnerable and open to exploitation.
Pokémon Palladium's battle UI provides information for both the player and the opponent, split into sections located on the top and bottom portions of the screen while the battle plays out in the middle. The trainer, the player's avatar, is displayed on the left corner, with four icons corresponding to the Item, Catch, Switch and Run functions radiating from them. On the right corner is the player's active Pokémon, complete with its HP and PP bars, as well as four icons (similar to the trainer icons) corresponding to the Pokémon's four moves. If applicable, it also displays any buffs, debuffs, and status conditions the Pokémon has. In between the two is a bar that gives dialogue on the battle's current happenings like in previous games, now with the added distinction of the trainer speaking; when the bar turns into a speech bubble. The top portion of the screen mirrors this layout, with the opposing trainer on the right and their active Pokémon on the left. The trainers and Pokémon displayed are fully-animated and react to what's happening in battle (i.e. the trainer performing a pose when giving commands, Pokémon have "hurt" and "attacking" animations, etc).
Depending on what the player has chosen in Settings, they either send the first Pokémon in their party immediately, or choose between the Pokémon in their party first.
===Encountering and Catching Pokémon===
In Pokémon Palladium, wild Pokémon can now be seen roaming in the overworld like in Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu, with exceptions being Pokémon that are partially hidden within the environment. Depending on the Pokémon, some may try to chase you, while some will ignore you until you initiate a battle. Sometimes, they might run away instead. In any wild encounter, you are immediately given the choice to Battle or Run before anything else. If the encounter can't be escaped, however, the Run button will not be present on the bottom screen and the game will throw you into battle straight away.
The sneaking mechanic returns from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. By tilting the Left Stick ever so slightly, you slow yourself to a tiptoe instead of walking normally. When you successfully sneak up on a Pokémon and initiate a battle, the Pokémon you send out will get a guaranteed first hit. Sneaking only works on Pokémon that are facing away from the player, preoccupied with themselves, relatively friendlier than other Pokémon, or are partially hidden in the environment. If you move at a normal pace, or worse, start running, all of these Pokémon will be alerted to your presence and may either ambush you with their own first-strike advantage or run away.
Wild Pokémon now have different behaviours during battle as they do in the overworld. This is determined by the Pokémon's species, nature, and some random chance. Pokémon who are on the friendlier side will not attack at all unless provoked, making them easier to capture than other Pokémon. Jumpier Pokémon will either put up more of a fight, or try to flee. More aggressive Pokémon will immediately attack the player upon encounter. Mischievous Pokémon will ambush the player and perform misleading actions throughout their battle. Occasionally, a Pokémon will have a hidden intention towards the player when fighting them; meeting the Pokémon's secret expectations will prompt them to voluntarily join you without the player actively throwing their Poké Balls at them. Displaying some sort of flair, fighting spirit, strength, or care for Pokémon in battle can trigger this reaction. Another viable strategy for catching Pokémon is offering them gifts like food à la Yokai Watch. Catching a Pokémon by pleasing them will result in a higher happiness level upon capture.
On the filpside, the player can simply use brute force, as for the first time ever, wild Pokémon can now be captured while fainted as depicted in the anime. This results in a lower happiness level and some amount of disobedience in the beginning, however.
===Trainer Battles===
In three of out of the four difficulties, trainers are programmed to pick or switch onto a Pokémon most suitable to defeating their opponent, so in the beginning of a trainer battle, it's important who gets to send out their Pokémon first. Depending on the trainer, they will use any of the three methods of starting a battle.
*Coin Flip Start: At the start of a match, a coin will be flipped (or a similar method will be employed) to see who gets the send their Pokémon first. If either you or the opponent only has one Pokémon on their team, the coin flip will not go through and the trainer with said one Pokémon will send theirs first.
*Voluntary Start: The opposing trainer either goes first without warning (for instance, an ambush), or asks the player if they want to go first before sending theirs.
*Quick Start: Both trainers send their Pokémon at the same time; also known as Classic Start for obvious reasons. All online battles use this method, unless both parties agree to change the start method.
==Poké Device==
The Poké Device acts as a combination of the Pokédex and the cellphone from some of the main series' games, having a multitude of functions for the player to utilise. Whenever an app is not in use, the default screen displays the in-game time, the current weather condition of the area you're in, and the time of day.
Additionally, there's a dashboard on the bottom that will always show on any page. You are able to tack on any four apps on this bar for quick access.
Application 	Obtain Method 	Use 	
Pokémon 	Pokémon 	Pokémon 	Pokémon
Team 	receive your first Pokémon 	Displays your current party of Pokémon, to which you can find further information about by selecting each Pokémon. This includes its stats, moves, ability, nature, habits, as well as the location and level it was caught at. You can now also view the Pokémon's happiness level from here as a meter, which will glow brightly once it reaches 220. There are also special options that appear on certain Pokémon's screens.	
Refresh 	receive your first Pokémon 	Here, you can interact with your Pokémon by petting them, feeding them treats such as berries and beans, and playing mini games with them. You can also cure their status conditions and clean them up after scuffles. 	
Pokédex 	talk to Prof. Dragonsblood at his lab	Contains information of all the Pokémon you've seen and captured on your journey. After every 10 Pokémon recorded in the Dex, the player receives a prize for their efforts. 	
Unown Dex 	talk to Amos after beating his gym 	Similar to the Pokédex, it's a special application that catalogues the various forms of Unown. It awards the player with a prize for each new Unown variant caught, with a final prize for when all variants are caught. 	
Battling 	Battling 	Battling 	Battling

Some settings are not available in higher difficulties. 	
Player Profile	talk to Prof. Dragonsblood at his lab	A sort of digitised identification card that displays the player's information and the list of accomplishments they've made on their journey. 	
===Pokédex and DexNav===
The Devorian Pokédex works differently than other Pokédexes. It's formatted like an e-book, and the names of every known Pokémon in Devor are already in the Dex, but it's the rest of the information you'll have to scour for. Once a Pokémon is caught, its average height and weight, typing and appearance are recorded, as well as its Pokédex entry. Once the Devorian Pokédex is complete, an unknown reward will be given to the player.
Most Pokémon have multiple Dex Entries, each Entry pertaining to where they were found and caught. You don't have to record every Dex Entry to complete the Pokédex, but should you do so, the prize is said to be more valuable. Legendary and Mythical Pokémon only have one Dex Entry each.
To aid you in your journey to complete the Dex, the DexNav function returns from Generation 6. It provides information about the player's current capture progress in a certain area, displaying the Pokémon you've already caught, and sometimes silhouettes of an uncaught species.
When activated, you can tell it to search for a specific Pokémon you've already caught, to which it will scan the immediate area for. If it finds the Pokémon you're looking for, it will alert you to its location. If you don't specify any Pokémon for it to scan, the Pokémon it'll alert you to will be random. The Nav will also tell you if the Pokémon has any special attributes, such as if it's shiny, with an egg move, has perfect IVs, has Pokérus, or has a hidden ability.
Some NPCs and shows on television will tell you about Pokémon in certain areas, which will update your DexNav. The next time you visit the area you gained new information about, a darkened image of the Pokémon described will appear in the Nav.
==Following Pokémon==
You can choose any one of your Pokémon to come out of its Poké Ball to follow you regardless of their placement in your party. By observing the battles its teammates fight, it gains experience even if it didn't participate the battle. This replaces the function of the Exp. Share.
===Ride Pager===
This handy device summons Pokémon to help you out. Over the course of the game, various characters register more and more Pokémon to your Ride Pager. These Pokémon can also be upgraded to enhance their performance or give them extra skills they can use. The first upgrade is automatically given at some point in the story, while the other has to be unlocked via side questing.

===Soaring===
Instead of instantly flying to the location you want, you can explore the skies with your ride, similar to the function of the Eon Flute from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. This is done if you select the "Soar" option when first calling your ride.
While in the air, you can encounter wild Pokémon and battle them, which all take form as Sky Battles. You can also fly to isolated locations that can't be reached by other means and enter wormholes.
There are four levels, called Altitudes: Low, Medium, High, and Cosmic. Each Altitude has different features and Pokémon, which get stronger the higher the altitude.
*Low Altitude is the level where you can fly down into areas. Pokémon like Ledian, Tailow, Jumpluff and Noctowl can be found here.
*Medium Altitude is the level where a few floating structures can be found. Pokémon like Staraptor, Pidgeot, Drifblim and Noibat can be found here, as well as a few Mythical Pokémon. This is the highest altitude that Swanna can fly at.
*High Altitude is the level where wormholes start to be found. Pokémon like Noivern, Salamance, Druddigon and a few Legendary Pokémon can be found here. This is the highest altitude that Charizard can fly at.
*Cosmic Altitude is the level where Pokémon like Minior are found, as well as Deoxys and Jirachi. Stardust can also easily be found floating in gas clouds. This is the highest altitude that Latios/Latias can fly at.
===Pokémon Refresh===
This function is now accessed as an option while in the Team menu. There are three parameters that you can fill up while interacting with a Pokémon:
*Affection shows how much your Pokémon likes you. As it increases, your Pokémon will start to receive benefits in battle. These benefits do not take effect when in online battles (unless explicitly allowed) or while battling in the Battle Frontier.
**If a Pokémon has at least Level Two Affection, it will gain 1.2x more experience from battles.
**At Level Three Affection, the Pokémon starts to endure attacks that would otherwise cause it to faint, leaving it with 1 HP.
**At Level Four Affection, the Pokémon will start to shake off status conditions and sidestep attacks by their own.
**At Level Five Affection, the Pokémon's critical hit ratio is permanently doubled.
*Enjoyment shows how much it's enjoying its interactions with you at the moment, resetting after a set amount of time. As a new addition, every time a Pokémon's Enjoyment level reaches Level 5, your Pokémon will receive +2 happiness. This rise in happiness increases by +2 for every Affection Level your Pokémon has.
*Fullness shows how much more food a Pokémon can eat before it can't anymore.
Aside from Poké Beans, you can now feed Pokémon berries, Poké Puffs (which return from X and Y), and other consumable items such as the Rage Candy Bar.
==Battlefield Affinity==
Battles take place in different environments, which are no longer mostly aesthetic. A move bearing the type that the environment has an affinity with will become 1.2x more powerful. This is called Battlefield Affinity. Terrain moves such as Misty or Electric Terrain completely override the affinity of each battlefield.

The Symbiosis forms have one and two Remoraid attached to it respectively, and it gains a +4 boost in each of its base stats for each Remoraid. A Remoraid will automatically attach to a Mantine or Mantorre the next time either one switches into battle. You can separate the two Pokémon as an option in the Team application of the player's Poké Device

*Beck City Docks	A sprawling metropolis, Beck City is the centre of attention in Devor. It houses many shops, hotels, parks, museums, and memorials for tourists to get lost in. Many Pokémon call this city their home, living on roofs, in its parks, around alleys, and even in Beck's extensive sewer system.The player lives on the roof of Beck's tallest apartment building, Ogeia High Rise. This luxurious penthouse has a small swimming pool, garden, and landing pad, allowing the player to fly there whenever they want, as well as leave some of your Pokémon there where your dad can take care of them.

Your mom was kind enough to buy a large lot for you to do some agricultural venturing of your own.Your lot starts out very bare, but with lots of dedication, it can turn into a right proper farm. Different crops require different kinds of soil and care, and proper maintenance is required to get the large yields you want.

==League Gyms==
The Pokémon League Association is an organisation that aims to give structure to Pokémon battling, and provide a way to challenge trainers and prove their worth. Anyone can challenge the League via the many Gyms, each with its own sort of puzzle before being able to battle the person who runs the Gym, the Gym Leader.
There are nineteen Gyms in the region; one for each type. However, 7 of these 19 Gyms are unable to be challenged on first arrival due to varying reasons.
Gym 	Gym Leader 	Description
Initial Gyms 	Initial Gyms 	Initial Gyms
Firmys Gym 	AmosFairy 	Due to Amos' love of adventure, he decided to construct his gym within the vast Nogardia Cave System just outside the town. It features a complex array of tunnels, but there are glowing arrow signs painted on the walls for the player to follow. They can only be seen in darkness, however, and that's where the gym's Pokémon and trainers like to strike. Amos and his dainty Ribombee await challengers in the cave's deepest chamber.Upon beating the gym, you are rewarded the Enchanting Badge, which glows in the dark, allowing you to light up a small portion of darkness within an area.
Bolitz Gym 	ColleenElectric	Also known as Bolitz's town hall, the place is quite hectic, constantly bustling with activity. Colleen's office is all the way at the back of the building, and in order to get through, you must proceed through numerous gates that can only be passed with the proper paperwork. The office's interns and secretaries won't mind approving it for you, but they also won't hesitate to slide a battle or two into their schedule. Then, it's all a matter of getting in line to see the mayor, Colleen.Upon beating the gym, you are rewarded the Generator Badge, which allows you to explore Bolitz's old abandoned power plant.
Onridge Gym 	LincolnNormal 	The Onridge gym has a sleek, modern design, containing a myriad of puzzles designed specially by its Gym Leader to teach challengers basic coding. Challengers are required to input strings of commands for the gym's Porygon to follow. Code it right, and they'll perform the commands properly so you can advance. Code it wrong, and they'll become frustrated and attack you. Waiting on the highest floor is Lincoln, who watches challengers like the player through security cameras as progress his gym.Upon beating the gym, you are rewarded with the Programme Badge, which allows you to programme Porygon across Devor to perform specific tasks.
Doji Gym 	DaphneDark 	Daphne herself dislikes regiments and likes to mess with people, so there isn't one dedicated building for the gym. Instead, the entire town of Doji is her gym. Because of this, you can challenge her anywhere within the town's borders... provided you can find her. She's very much a spastic person, flitting from place to place on her motorcycle. You can ask Doji's residents for hints as to where she as, but you'll have to exchange such information with a battle.Upon beating the gym, you are rewarded with the Shady Badge, which earns you the respect of Devor's gangs, allowing you to enter their hideouts.
Ilisium Gym 	ToriBug 	When you think Illisium couldn't get warm and humid enough, there's the Illisium Gym: a gigantic greenhouse containing all of Tori's Bug-type Pokémon. There are no gardeners or caretakers; just the Pokémon and trainers who are ready to attack at a moment's notice. Prepare to traverse thick flora, swinging on vines and jumping on bouncy mushrooms. Tori's at the very centre writing her compendium, accompanied by her buggy friends.Upon beating the gym, you are rewarded with the Mandible Badge, which is scented with a special chemical that increases the chance of high-level Bug-type Pokémon to appear when worn by Pokémon.

==Pokémon League==
The pinnacle of the Pokémon League Association, The League is the place where trainers who have proven to be formidable battles come to test their skills in a culmination against the five most powerful trainers in their region. Devor's Pokémon League is considered to be one of the hardest, as its Elite Four doesn't specialise in specific types, instead opting to train Pokémon based on aesthetics. Quinta fancies using elegant, beautiful Pokémon; Jonas uses Pokémon he considered cool-looking; Julien likes using cutesy Pokémon; Keagan opts for tough-looking Pokémon; Amalthea has no particular preference in Pokémon, so her team is well-balanced.

==Pokémon Daycare==
The daycare is place for Pokémon to be cared for, and if two Pokémon form a strong bond with each other, it results in Pokémon eggs. There There are a few additions and changes to how breeding some Pokémon works, though:
*Leaving Pokémon in a daycare will give a slight increase in their happiness, but leaving them in for too long will start to degrade their happiness instead if they don't have a partner. The happiness increase rises if the Pokémon produces an egg.
*If one of the two Pokémon is holding a Metronome, it will gain their partner's nature if left with each other for long enough, even if they aren't compatible breeding partners. When this happens, the caretaker will state that they've noticed the respective Pokémon has been acting different lately.
*If the size difference between two Pokémon is over 5 feet, they will not be able to breed.
*Ditto can now breed with itself.
*The entire Nidoran line can breed normally with other Pokémon now.
*Pokémon now produce batches instead of single eggs. The amount of eggs depends between circumstance and species, but the maximum amount of eggs that can be produced in a batch is six.
*Once eggs are produced, the daycare will offer to either give them to you, or to leave it with them and their incubation chambers. One real life minute in the daycare's incubation chamber translates to twenty egg cycles.,
*30% of the time, there will be a special egg within the batch that hatches five times as fast as the other eggs. This egg will turn out to actually be the devious Pokémon Baddeg, who will attack you upon "hatching". The level of the Baddeg will vary relative to the lowest-levelled Pokémon in the player's party.
*When an egg hatches in the daycare's incubation chambers, the daycare will offer the Pokémon to you, or alternatively, to put it up for adoption (has the same effect as releasing the Pokémon). While the player makes this choice, you are able to view the newly-hatched Pokémon's stats.
==Devor's Sewers==
Underneath Devor are these extensive labyrinths, those being Devor's sewage systems. There are six different sewage systems, each having its own gang and ecosystem. These are: the Trisinis System, the Weddes System, the Shilan System, the Midesa System, the Tridextros System, and the Desodon System. Well-seasoned trainers can use Devor's sewers to make shortcuts, bypass more difficult routes, and reach their destination quicker. Note that not all of Devor's settlements are connected by these sewage systems.

==Battle Frontier==
Devor has its own Battle Frontier, a place where those come to both have fun and hone their skills in battle. Unlike other frontiers, these facilities are scattered across the map. There are seven facilities associated the frontier, each with their own niche and unique reward.
*The Battle Athenaeum is a towering facility that doubles as a library, inside being a shadowy labyrinth of bookshelves and tables. In a similar vein to Hoenn's Battle Pyramid, it consists of seven levels, each sporting a random theme. You and your three Pokémon must fend off wild Pokémon and defeat trainers in order to charge your Battle Bookmark, a temporary item given to you at the start of each run-through. It acts as a flashlight, lighting up the dark sections of each floor in order for you to find the exit. Upon reaching the next floor, however, the Battle Bookmark will run out of power once again. Your bag is also replaced with a temporary Battle Bag that can only store one of each type of item, as you cannot bring your own items to the Athenaeum. Upon defeat, the trainers will give you hints towards where the remaining trainers and items are, as well as a clue as to the next floor's theme. On the 3rd successful run-through, Athenaeum Archivist Odessa will show up at the top floor to battle you, and will award you with a permanent Battle Bookmark upon defeat. On the 10th successful run-through, Athenaeum King Theodore will battle you instead, awarding you with a Golden Bookmark upon defeat. On subsequent milestones, Odessa and Theodore will interchangeably show up.
*The Battle Factory is a facility filled with various pipes and conveyor belts that transport you between battles. Instead of your own Pokémon, you're provided with a random team of three rental Pokémon instead, and the use of items are forbidden. Unlike the other facilities, each run-through is endless. Upon defeating a trainer, you are given the option to trade one of your Pokémon for one of the Pokémon your opponent used. On the 10th and 24th consecutive battles, Factory Head Renee will confront you, using a random team as per the facility's rules. On the first time, you'll be rewarded with a Battle Analyser. On the second time, the reward is a Golden Analyser.
*The Battle Casino is a large place of flashy design filled with things such as slot machines, roulette boards, and pool tables. Each run-through consists of seven trainers in a 3v3 single battle format, and items are not allowed when challenging the facility. Before each battle, the player must activate a roulette board machine that will land on a random square pertaining to an effect that will be placed on the player, the enemy, or the field. These effects ranged to stat boosts, bestowing berries, health reduction, weather changes, and more. On the 21st and 49th consecutive battles, Casino Tycoon Landon will challenge you. Once beaten, you will be awarded with Battle Dice on the first fight, and Golden Dice on the second fight.
*The Battle Monument is a large arena, taking place in the open under the presence of an imposing shrine. The facility specialises in 6v6 Rotation Battles, each run-through consisting of five trainers. These aren't your ordinary Rotation Battles, however, as every 3 turns, one of the positions on both players will start to glow with a strange energy. This signals that on the next turn, the Pokémon in that position will be affected by one of four effects. If the energy glows red, the Pokémon will receive damage equal to 1/8th its maximum HP. If green, the Pokémon is healed by 1/8th its maximum HP. If it's blue, the Pokémon will receive a sharp stat decrease in its highest stat, and the reverse is true if the energy glows orange. Additionally, you cannot use items on your Pokémon while challenging this facility. On the 20th and 50th battles, Monument Chief Sherwood will face you. Once beaten you will be rewarded with a Battle Seeker on the first fight and a Golden Seeker on the second fight.
*The Battle Ring takes place at a fighting ring, and you're only allowed to bring two Pokémon with you. Each run-through consists of 4 battles, all of which are Battle Royales. Your Pokémon cannot hold items, and the trainer cannot use items either. Instead, you must choose a company to back you. Your options are Tocsin Ltd, Silph Co., Devon Corporation, the Battle Factory, and the Pokémon League. Each successful battle rewards you with a minor item along with the standard BP, which depends on which company you picked. These items are transferred between run-throughs, and never reset unless you decide to switch companies. On the 12th and 40th consecutive battles, Ring Maestro Gadiel will contend with you alongside two other trainers. Once beaten, you will be rewarded with a Battle Mask on the first fight, and then a Golden Mask on the second.
*The Battle Spire is a cathedral-like facility, with many floors connected with a spiralling staircase. There are four different run-throughs you can take: 3v3 Singles, 4v4 Doubles, 4v4 Multi Battles, and 6v6 Triple Battles. Regardless of which one you pick, it follows the same sequence of 7 trainers per run-through. You cannot use items on Pokémon in the Spire, but they may use held items. On the 21st and 49th battles, Spire Mistress Vivien will contest you. Once beaten, you will be rewarded with a Battle Amulet on the first fight, and then a Golden Amulet on the second.
*The Battle Forge is a large forging facility, adorned with many pieces of equipment such as Poké Balls, armour, and weapons. Each run-through consists of 7 battles, all in the format of 3v3 single battles. These battles are fought using Battle Launchers, which are unique devices that launch special discs at Pokémon that enhance their battle performance. These discs can be purchased using points that are accumulated per turn. Because of this, you cannot use normal items. On the 21st and 49th consecutive battles, Forge Master Smith will fight you. Once beaten, you will be rewarded with a Battle Launcher on the first fight, and then a Golden Launcher on the second.

Image Coming Not SoonDonovanGym Leader 	Donovan is the head scientist of the Devorian Institute of Astronomy, and is mostly secluded to his observatory doing research.

Image Coming Not Soon

Image Coming Not SoonKeaganElite Four 	Nobody messes with Keagan. He seems like a pretty nice guy at first, but take the wrong steps with him, and you have yourself a huge problem. He himself can take quite a beating; the real question is if you can. Keagan's Pokémon have a similar, if not the exact same demeanour.
Image Coming Not SoonAmaltheaChampion 	Amalthea is the current reigning champion in Devor, but you know her as your mom.
