Trivia

  • The Kalos Challenge is the only Champion Stadium challenge in which the Ghost-weak and Dark-weak opponents are not the same Trainer.
    • Therefore, it took 1109 days (since the introduction of the Champion Stadium on August 28, 2020) for any Champion Stadium challenge to feature both Ghost-weak and Dark-weak stages during the same week. Players could battle against Ghost-weak Wikstrom and Dark-weak Malva from September 11 to 18, 2023.
