Gate of Yaksha

Yaksha (Japanese: ヤシャの国 Yasha Nation) is a kingdom in Ransei.

Battlefield

The swamplike battlefield of Yaksha features water tiles, a Surprise Box, and Green Grass. Only Water-type Pokémon can stand on water tiles. After the message "It's Roulette time!" appears, one of the Pokémon on the field will be relocated by the Surprise Box to a room full of Treasure Boxes, from where it can only escape by entering Green Grass secret passages.

Battles fought on Yaksha's battlefield are set to a maximum of 20 turns, and victory is seized by defeating all enemies. If both armies are still standing when all 20 turns have passed, the army defending Yaksha wins the battle.
