In the core series games
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
The Indigo Disk
Unlike the historic Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV, Blueberry Academy was established in recent years somewhere in Unova's ocean, being accessed through an undersea tunnel. The academy's curriculum puts a particular emphasis on Pokémon battling, with all the students and staff members specializing in Double Battles. Additionally, most of its building is located under the ocean, including the classrooms and the famous Terarium. The school uses its own currency, referred to as Blueberry Points, or BP for short.
Following Briar's research into the Terastal phenomenon in Paldea and Kitakami, she created the Terarium Core, a huge glass orb hanging in the ceilling of the Terarium. Filled with Paldean soil and water from Kitakami's Crystal Pool, it spreads Terastal energy across the academy, enabling students with Tera Orbs and certain wild Pokémon there to use the Terastal phenomenon. After the main story of The Indigo Disk has been completed, Briar upgrades the Terarium Core with crystals collected from the Area Zero Underdepths, causing wild Stellar Tera Type Pokémon to start appearing in the Terarium.
The player is offered into the academy as an exchange student by Cyrano.

League Club
The League Club (Japanese: リーグ部 League Club) is a student organization that emulates the functions of a Pokémon League within Blueberry Academy, based out of the League Club Room. They use a ranking system called the BB League (Japanese: ブルベリーグ Blueberry League), whose top five ranking members make up the BB League Elite Four and BB League Champion. The BB League Champion also serves as president of the League Club.
A challenger must clear an Elite Four member's Elite Trial before being allowed to challenge them. Despite being an exchange student, the player is granted the right to challenge the BB League after a majority vote in support from the Elite Four and Champion, which also lets them bypass the lower ranks of the League and become immediately eligible to attempt the Elite Four's trials.

Trivia
- Flying to another location in Blueberry Academy shows a different Flying Taxi on the loading screen, featuring Skarmory rather than Paldea's Squawkabilly and Kitakami's Noctowl.
Origin
Blueberry Academy may be inspired by the Dragon Palace from the Japanese folktale Urashima Tarō. In the tale, the Dragon Palace is described as being underwater and having a garden where scenery from all four seasons could be seen at once.[2] Similarly, Blueberry Academy is located partially underwater with the Terarium biomes representing each of the four seasons. This is shown by the presence of all four forms of Sawsbuck within the Terarium, one per each biome (Spring: Savanna, Summer: Coastal, Autumn: Canyon, Winter: Polar).

Here was to be seen at one time the scenery of the four different seasons; the beauties of summer and winter, spring and autumn, were displayed to the wondering visitor at once. First, when he looked to the east, the plum and cherry trees were seen in full bloom, the nightingales sang in the pink avenues, and butterflies flitted from flower to flower. Looking to the south all the trees were green in the fullness of summer, and the day cicala and the night cricket chirruped loudly. Looking to the west the autumn maples were ablaze like a sunset sky, and the chrysanthemums were in perfection. Looking to the north the change made Urashima start, for the ground was silver white with snow, and trees and bamboos were also covered with snow and the pond was thick with ice.
