Pokémon Battrio: Difference between revisions

Special Abilities were introduced in Battrio S and provide additional benefits for the team. Pokémon with Special Abilities will have one of six different icons in the center of the upper segment of the puck, and if designated as lead Pokémon, will activate its ability upon commencement of the battle. Below is a table of the different Special Abilities Pokémon may have.

Debuting in the ''{{Battrio|Mewtwo Awakening}}'' expansion, Awakening utilises existing gameplay elements in various ways to provide additional bonuses to Pokémon on the field. Pokémon with Awakening are identified by a colored name box with the ability above their name. A Pokémon may only have one Awakening ability, hence many pucks from one expansion may have two identical versions with the exception of their Awakening ability. Two new Awakening abilities have been added with every expansion since its debut up until ''{{Battrio|Endless Fierce Battle}}'', meaning there are currently six different types of Awakening abilities. These are listed in the table below.

Battrio S gave a major overhaul in terms of damage calculation in battles. Instead of basing this off the greatest value, it is based on the ''difference'' between the Attack of the attacking player's Pokémon and the Defense of the defending player's Pokémon. Additional bonuses such as those mentioned above then come into effect. New to Battrio S was the inclusion of Pokémon with special abilities that can give an increased Attack or Defense bonus, as well as berries that appear during the pre-battle period between player's turns. Players can increase their damage multiplier by 0.5x increments by collecting a number of berries, which can have a pivotal effect in damage calculation. The difference in damage is then dealt to the HP bar of the player who lost the battle.

The order of the attacks in each round is determined by the Pokémon with the highest Speed stat. As with previous versions, Attack/Defense bonuses, type advantages and special ability bonuses come into effect when calculating damage. A new feature in Battrio 0 is a bar that appears under the type icon of each Pokémon. The area of this bar depends on the type advantage/disadvantage of the attacking Pokémon, though the principle for each player remains the same: the closer to the center of the bar the marker is when the player hits the confirm button, the better the Attack or Defense bonus they will gain. Hitting the white line exactly in the center (called '''Great Success''') gives a maximum boost. Once all of the calculations have been completed, the difference in damage is taken from the HP of the loser of that battle. The process then repeats for the slower of the two Pokémon.<br>

*'''Battrio Tower:''' Introduced in the Battrio S upgrade, Battrio Tower is designed to be the ultimate test of skill as players are challenged to climb the 100-floor tower and reach the top. Each floor has one Trainer with a set team of Pokémon, each one becoming progressively difficult as the Tower is climbed. This is similar to [[Mt. Battle]] as featured in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

*'''Challenge Battle:''' Also introduced in the Battrio S upgrade, Challenge Battles are designed to test a player's knowledge of different Pokémon and their capabilities. Each round has one Trainer with a set team, often featuring a particularly powerful Pokémon, and a pre-selected team of Pokémon for the player to use. There is often a certain strategy players must discover when competing in Challenge Battles. This mode is also similar to the various challenges on [[Battle CD]]s from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
