Battle Arcade

On this page

The Battle Arcade is a Battle Frontier facility where luck rewrites the rules of every fight. Before each battle, a roulette board selects 1 of 27 events that may boost your team, sabotage it, empower the opponent, or transform the battlefield. Battles are 3v3 Singles at Level 50 in a Bring 6, Pick 3 format, with your consecutive win streak determining Battle Point payouts and Arcade Star milestones.

Getting Started

Open the Arcade menu - Travel to the Battle Arcade NPC at /warp battlearcade to open the main menu.
Choose a team source - Select one of two options:
- Live Party: brings 6 eligible Pokémon from your current party
- Rental Team: pick 6 rentals from a random offering of 14
Spin the roulette - Before every Game, the Roulette Board selects the event applied to that battle
Battle - Select 3 of your 6 Pokémon and defeat the NPC Trainer
Decide - After each win, your team is fully healed and you choose your next move:

Option	Description
Continue	Proceed to the next roulette spin and battle
Rest	Pause the run and store its progress for 3 days
Retire	End the run and keep all earned rewards

Losing a battle immediately ends the run and locks in all rewards earned up to that point.

Battle Rules

3v3 Single Battle, Bring 6 Pick 3, with all Pokémon normalized to Level 50
Your original held items are removed for the run; only roulette-granted items appear in battle
Rental teams are rolled once before the run begins and cannot be swapped mid-run
Opposing Trainers use 3 Pokémon that mirror the tier composition of your own team, with stronger minimum tiers in later Sets
The number of Uber-tier Pokémon on an opposing team can never exceed your own team's count by more than one
Opponent skill increases in later Sets, and Arcade Stars are more skilled than the Trainers around them
Healing, PC, breeding, and flight commands are blocked during a run

Run Structure

A run lasts up to 7 Sets of 7 Games each, for a maximum streak of 49 consecutive wins
Completing a Set pays out Battle Points and advances you to the next Set, where stronger item pools and more disruptive events unlock
A sidebar tracks your current Set and Game, win streak, pending event, and your next reward and Arcade Star milestones
Only one run can exist at a time: a rested run must be continued or discarded before starting a new one, and expires after 3 days
If a battle fails to start or gets stuck, a battle restart is available once per Set; the pending event carries over to the retry
After a loss you can start a new run in 20 minutes; after completing a full run, in 60 minutes

Roulette Board

Before every Game, the Roulette Board scrolls through a grid of event spaces. The space it stops on becomes that battle's event.

Events may help you, hinder you, target the opponent, alter the battlefield, or resolve instantly without a battle
An event applies only to the Game it was spun for, and its effects wear off when the battle ends
Side-wide events reapply to each Pokémon as it switches in; weather, terrain, and room effects run their listed durations
The board scrolls faster as your win streak climbs

Performance Score

The Arcade secretly grades every victory on a 0-24 point scale. Fast, clean wins score high; slow or costly wins score low.

Category	Result	Points
Turns taken	2 or fewer	10
Turns taken	3-4	6
Turns taken	5-6	4
Turns taken	7-8	2
Turns taken	9 or more	0
Your Pokémon knocked out	0	8
Your Pokémon knocked out	1	6
Your Pokémon knocked out	2	4
Your Pokémon knocked out	3+	0
Your Pokémon with a status	0	6
Your Pokémon with a status	1	4
Your Pokémon with a status	2	2
Your Pokémon with a status	3+	0

The total score determines which target category the next spin favors:

Score	Ally	Foe	Field	Other
0-4	75%	10%	10%	5%
5-10	40%	25%	30%	5%
11-15	30%	30%	35%	5%
16-20	20%	35%	30%	15%
21-24	15%	15%	40%	30%

Low scores strongly bias the next spin toward events that target your side, reaching a 75% Ally chance at 0-4 points
Foe-targeted events peak at 35% for scores of 16-20
Near-perfect scores shift the board toward Field events (40%) and Other results (30%)
Other covers special results such as No Event, Skip Battle, BP Boost, and Swap Teams

Roulette Events

Positive events help you, Negative events hinder you, and Chaotic events can swing either way depending on the matchup. Higher Sets unlock more of the board: events listed with a minimum Set cannot appear before it, and a few only appear in specific Games.

Item Pools

Berry and held-item events (Berry Harvest, Foe Berry, Free Item, Foe Item) draw from pools that scale with your current Set:

Paralysis	Limber	Ground
Sleep	Insomnia, Vital Spirit	None
Freeze	Magma Armor	Ice

Arcade Stars

Deep win streaks are interrupted by an Arcade Star, one of the Battle Arcade's boss Trainers: Dahlia, Elesa, Guzma, Leon, or Marley, selected at random for each encounter. Defeating an Arcade Star earns a soulbound Commemorative Print as proof of your victory.

Milestone	Opponent	Reward
21st win	Random Arcade Star (Silver)	Silver Commemorative Print
49th win	Random Arcade Star (Gold)	Gold Commemorative Print

The Gold Arcade Star is more skilled than the Silver Arcade Star, and defeating it completes the Battle Arcade at a perfect 49-win streak.

Arcade Star victories also progress the Arcade Battler badge, found on the Battling page of /badges. The badge has 8 phases, requiring 3 to 100 total Arcade Star victories.

Rewards

Each completed Set awards Battle Points, scaling with the Set number:

1	2	3	4	5	6	7
32	64	96	128	160	192	224

A full 49-win run earns 896, plus any BP Boost multipliers landed along the way
The BP Boost roulette event multiplies your next Set reward by 3x
Rewards are locked in the moment you lose or retire; nothing earned is ever lost

FAQ

Do I keep Pokémon or items granted by the roulette? No. Roulette-granted items, swapped teams, and every other event effect are temporary. Your own Pokémon, levels, and held items are restored when the run ends.

What happens if I disconnect? Mid-battle, you have 3 minutes to reconnect before the run ends. If a run is interrupted in another way (such as a server restart), it can be resumed from the Arcade menu.
