Wandering trainers

Trainers wander the world looking for a battle. Talk to one to see who they are. Before you accept, you can view their team and view the rewards.

Each trainer rolls a rank and a new team when they move on. Stronger trainers bring bigger teams, hit harder and pay out more.

RankHow oftenTeam sizeLevelsTime limit
Rookie40%110-252 min
Regular30%1-220-403 min
Ace18%2-335-554 min
Veteran9%3-450-705 min
Champion3%4-665-857 min

Rookies and Regulars use first-stage species. Veterans and Champions use evolved and single-stage species. Aces and Champions also use their moves and special attacks, so they are noticeably tougher than their level suggests.

  • You need a companion out before you accept.
  • They send out their team one at a time.
  • Stay close. Running off forfeits the battle.
  • If your companion goes down, you have 20 seconds to send out another one before you lose.

Each opponent you knock out gives your companion bonus experience and rolls the trainer’s reward table. Higher ranks give more experience per knockout and have better odds on every reward. Knocking out a shiny rolls an extra shiny reward.
