Ride Pokémon (Hisui): Difference between revisions

After being unlocked, the [[player character|player]] can summon a Ride Pokémon at any time by pressing the + button. If multiple Ride Pokémon are accessible, the player can toggle between them at any time pressing the left and right buttons on the directional buttons or D-Pad. When harmed by a wild Pokémon's poison, paralysis, or drowsiness, the Ride Pokémon will disappear and cannot be resummoned until the player recovers from the status condition, Basculegion and Braviary excluded. Like the Ride Pokémon from the [[Alola]] region, many ride Pokémon are seen as alternatives to specific [[Key Item]]s and [[HM]]s

Wydeer can be seen as a replacement for the game's [[bike]] function from other games, allowing the player travel faster than on foot. By holding the B button, Wyrdeer will be able to sprint faster than his standard run speed, this may cause the camera to automatically adjust to a better angle. Pressing the Y button allows Wyrdeer to jump over certain obstacles. During these jumps, if unlocked, pressing the A button will allow the player to switch to the Braviary mount. Wyrdeer can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Wyrdeer, he is also the default ride Pokémon if no previous ride Pokémon was chosen before Basculegion or Braviary.

Ursaluna can be seen as a replacement for the game's [[Dowsing Machine]] from other games, allowing players to locate hidden items from underneath the ground by having Ursaluna sniff out where they are. The player rides on Ursaluna's back at a slightly faster pace than their standard run speed. A radar appears in front of Ursaluna's face, this radar starts off as a small green semi-circle. Once Ursaluna picks up the scent of an item, the radar will grow larger, turn yellow, and Ursaluna will start at a faster speed. When close to a hidden item, the radar will turn red and Ursaluna will not stop. A red ! will appear over a digging spot for an item, allowing the player to press Y and dig up the item. When over a spot and the player presses Y, Ursaluna will shake telling the player that he is unable to dig. Ursaluna can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Ursaluna.

Basculegion is seen as an alternative to the {{m|Surf}} HM, allowing the player to traverse through water. He can be summoned by either pressing + or A while in the water. Diving into the water with another Ride Pokémon will also automatically swap to Basculegion. Basculegion may also be automatically summoned while diving into water using Braviary. While riding Basculegion, the player can do many things that they normally can do while on land, including catching and battling wild Pokémon using the ZR button and lock onto them by holding the ZL button. Like Wyrdeer, holding the B button will allow Basculegion to dash at a faster speed, this may cause the camera to automatically adjust to a better angle. By pressing the Y button, Basculegion is able to jump, Basculegion can then jump again by pressing Y a second time. While midair, holding the ZR button will cause the screen to blur and the game to slow down, allowing for more accurate throws against wild Pokémon and objects. Like Wyrdeer, being midair in either of these jumps can allow the player to swap over to Braviary by pressing the A button.  

Sneasler allows the player to climb over most terrain and obstacles. The tall and lanky Pokémon moves slightly faster than what the player can normally walk, however, she cannot run and the player is unable to throw objects. Getting close to a wall, pressing A will allow Sneasler to grab onto the wall, while getting close to an edge, pressing Y will allow Sneasler to descend. Sneasler is only able to latch onto certain terrains such as rocky cliffs and trees, she cannot climb up icy surfaces. Sneasler can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Sneasler.

Braviary acts similarly to a hangglider. Once summoned, Braviary will take off with the player high in the air in the spot they are currently in. Braviary can be used to travel long distances across the map, however he slowly descends, regardless if he is moving or standing place in the air. Holding the B button in the air will allow Braviary to dash, moving faster, but descends at a quicker pace, while holding the Y button allows for Braviary to dive instead. This dive goes at the same speed as the dash, but is pointed towards the ground for easier landing. Braviary can also be summoned any time in the air by pressing the A button, either by walking off a cliff, or jumps caused by Wyrdeer and Basculegion.
