HUB Island

HUB Island is a manmade island constructed to act as a central hub for all cross-regional travel. It is the perfect vacation spot for Mon trainers! It features many attractions, including a travel center, battle facilities, and a safari ferry port.
Unlike a traditional region, HUB Island does not have a story progression and does not focus on a single Dex for available Mons. Instead, the island acts as a hub connecting to every other region in the game.
==Features==
=== Travel Center ===
The travel center, a.k.a the Airport, is situated at the north end of HUB Island. This facility allows trainers to travel to other regions. This center also provides information on each region.
=== Battle Tower ===
In the Battle Tower challenge, trainers challenge a tower of infinite opponents using a team of three Mons. Battles are single and fixed-level format, which means that all Mons' levels are set to 50 for the duration of the battle. Aim for the highest win streak! 
Trainers may challenge the HUB-located Battle Tower, or a regional Battle Tower challenge. Specific regional battle towers will use the player's team from that region instead of their team in HUB. Rewards from winning in the regional battle towers will go in the player's inventory in those regions, rather than their Hub Island inventory.
In the Battle Tower, certain species of Mon are restricted and cannot be used. 
Restricted Mons
Mon 	Sprite
Mewtwo 	
Mew 	
Sakurovix	
==== World Tournament ====
The World Tournament challenge is not yet available.
=== Battle Factory ===
The Battle Factory challenge is located on the northwest side of the island. Trainers can enter a battle challenge using a team of three rental Mons rather than their own Mons. After each win, the trainer has the option to trade one of their rental Mons for one of the Mons on the defeated opponent's team.
=== Safari Ferry ===
The Safari Ferry station is located on the southwest side of HUB island. In the lobby, trainers can select a Safari Zone to enter. The lobby also includes trainers which will offer the player challenges.
Each Safari Zone has a different set of Mons available to catch through a Safari Game. Upon landing on the island, the Game begins and lasts for a set number of steps, which varies by Zone. Instead of battling wild Mons to capture them, the player instead sees four unique options: Throw Safari Ball, Throw Rock, Throw Bait, and Inspect. Safari Balls are a special kind of Poke Ball which can only be used in Safari Zones. Throwing a Rock will make the Mon easier to catch, but more likely to flee. Throwing Bait will make the Mon less likely to flee, but harder to catch. Finally, Inspect will display the Mon's current emotional state (whether it is likely to flee or not).
The game ends when the player runs out of steps or Safari Balls, whichever comes first.

=== Traveling Trainers ===
HUB Island is full of other visiting trainers who will often be looking for a battle. After you complete the tutorial, trainers who are looking for a battle will have an exclamation point bubble [!] over their heads. The trainers who want to battle will change every in-game hour. Their initial teams scale to the level of your party. However, after you defeat Will in Draeguntale Island, the trainers will use teams of level 55, fully evolved Mons.
=== Battle Bastion ===
An exclusive battle facility for strong trainers. Once players have unlocked the Rolling River safari zone, they can interact with a PC near the Shipyard to call a ferry to the Battle Bastion. This battle center contains strong trainers from all over the world and grants exclusive rewards for players who manage to claim victory.

You can choose between three color option variants of the Mon Mobipup, which are all identical in terms of stats.
