Paldea League

This article is about the organization. For the location, see Pokémon League (Paldea).

The Paldea Pokémon League (Japanese: パルデアポケモンリーグ Paldea Pokémon League) is the regional Pokémon League of the Paldea region. The Paldea League consists of eight Gym Leaders, along with the Elite Four and the Top Champion. Unlike in previously introduced Leagues, in Paldea, Gyms can be challenged in any order, and multiple Trainers can hold the Champion title simultaneously. The title of Champion is granted to those who pass the Champion Assessment at the Pokémon League headquarters, with the region's strongest Champion, the Top Champion, acting as the final obstacle for Trainers who wish to obtain it. Nemona is one of the Trainers who has successfully passed this test. The chairwoman of the Paldea Pokémon League and the current Top Champion is Geeta.

Trivia

• The Paldea League is the only regional League where one Trainer simultaneously serves as both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member.
  • It is also the only League whose Elite Four and Champion cannot be rematched as a group. Instead, they are re-battled through other means:
    • Geeta and Hassel can be re-battled as a part of the Academy Ace Tournament. However, Hassel battles in his capacity as an Instructor rather than as an Elite Four member.
    • Larry can be re-battled once in his capacity as a Gym Leader.
    • In The Indigo Disk, all five can be re-battled an indefinite number of times in the League Club Room at Blueberry Academy, although Larry battles as a Gym Leader and Hassel as an Instructor.
  • It is also the only League whose Gym Leaders can only be rematched once within their home region. However, they can all be rematched as Gym Leaders an indefinite number of times at the League Club Room.
• The types that Paldea's Elite Four specialize in match those associated with the Titan Pokémon, with the exception of Klawf, although Geeta's ace, Glimmora, is a Rock type like Klawf.
• According to Hassel, about half of the challengers quit around the third Gym, while Nemona says that less than a tenth of the challengers make it to the seventh Gym.
• The Gym logo resembles the silhouette of a sailboat or a sailing ship (mainly a caravel).
• The Paldea Elite Four is the first to have a form of uniform between members.
  • Said uniform takes the form of black gloves with a white compass design on them.
