Guidance counselors are non-player characters introduced in The Indigo Disk in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. They are affiliated with Blueberry Academy. They promote Pokémon battling among members of the academy and offer prizes for defeating Trainers.
In the core series games
Guidance counselors are found at rest areas across the Terarium, with one stationed in each of the four biomes:
- Canyon Rest Area in the Canyon Biome, with 14 total Trainers to defeat
- Coastal Rest Area in the Coastal Biome, with 16 total Trainers to defeat
- Polar Rest Area in the Polar Biome, with 16 total Trainers to defeat
- Savanna Rest Area 2 in the Savanna Biome, with 14 total Trainers to defeat
They incentivize the player with BP, in addition to bonus TM prizes, in exchange for defeating Trainers found throughout the Terarium. Each guidance counselor offers three levels of rewards, which require a certain number of Trainers in the biome they are stationed at to be battled.
