DESCRIPTION:
Discover new Pokémon on a boundless, open-world adventure!
An open-world adventure awaits in the Paldea region, a sprawling land of vast open spaces dotted with lakes, towering peaks, wastelands and perilous mountain ranges. Enrol at the prestigious academy located in the heart of the Paldea region and hone your skills as a Pokémon Trainer!
Features:
- Pick your Path: There is no set path on your Paldea adventure, so you can weave freely though three grand stories. Victory Road - Prove your strength in 8 Gym battles and aim for the Champion Rank! The order you challenge them is up to you. Path of Legends - Take on gigantic Titan Pokémon that guard rare ingredients. Starfall Street - Take on Team Star grunts in order to reach their boss.
- Meet new Pokémon: The Paldea region is home to many other new Pokémon, including Paldean forms of Pokémon you may have encountered in previous Pokémon adventures. Choose your first partner Pokémon from Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. Which Pokémon will you start with? Encounter the mysterious Legendary Pokémon, Koraidon in Pokémon Scarlet and Miraidon in Pokémon Violet. Rise them to traverse the region.
- Enjoy Pokémon together: Explore Paldea, battle, and trade together in local or online co-op with up to three other Trainers. Spend time with your friends, cheering each other on in wild Pokémon battles and showing off the Pokémon that walk along with you.
- Terastallize your Pokémon: The Terastal phenomenon is found only in the Paldea region and makes Pokémon shine and glimmer like gems. Terastallize a Pokémon at strategic moments during battles to activate its Tera Type, increasing the power of moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type and changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses! Team up with three other Trainers in Tera Raid Battles, where you take on a Terastallized wild Pokémon within a time limit.
