Challenge Battle (Japanese: チャレンジバトル Challenge Battle) is an area that is only available after defeating the game in Pokémon Rumble U. There are four stages in this area, each with different unlock conditions that must be met before the stage can be played.

Lord of the Bugs

Challenges

Clearing the challenges allows the player to obtain a blue capsule containing a Genesect.

Pokémon

This area has a unique battle structure. When the player enters, there is an immediate warning followed by the arrival of one of the fully evolved Bug Pokémon. These include Beautifly and Dustox, Wormadam (all three cloaks), Mothim, Yanmega, Escavalier, Accelgor, and Galvantula. Only one boss appears; that boss is always supported both by its lower evolutions and by Shedinja. The ultimate Bug Pokémon, Genesect, is the challenge reward.

The Battle for Sky and Land

The battle will appear in one of two formats:

  • A sky battle, with Lugia as boss and featuring Flying- and Bug-type Pokémon; this includes the Jumpluff family, Ledian, and others.
  • A land battle, with Ho-Oh as the boss and featuring many Pokémon who remain grounded, such as the Scolipede family, Persian, Weavile, and others.

Challenges

  • Protect the Forts.
  • Don't let any Forts be destroyed.
  • Clear the battle within 240 seconds.
  • Use Kyogre.
  • Don't let any allies be defeated.

Clearing the challenges allows the player to obtain a blue capsule containing a Mew.

Pokémon

Not all Legendary Pokémon will necessarily appear within one playing. Three rockets appear following a horde of Espeon and Umbreon; these can contain any of Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Deoxys (Normal Forme), Dialga, Palkia, Giratina (in either Altered or Origin Formes), or Darkrai. Three more rockets later appear with a horde of Rotom that always contain Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus.
