'''Pokéathlon''' (Japanese: '''ポケスロン''' ''Pokéthlon'') is a type of competition involving Pokémon racing and similar athletic competitions, in the manner of {{wp|Olympic games|Olympic}} {{wp|track and field}} competitions. It was introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Its name is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of [[Pokémon]] and {{wp|triathlon}}. The [[Pokéathlon Dome]], where the competitions are held, is north of [[Goldenrod City]], next to [[National Park]]. | '''Pokéathlon''' (Japanese: '''ポケスロン''' ''Pokéthlon'') is a type of competition involving Pokémon racing and similar athletic competitions, in the manner of {{wp|Olympic games|Olympic}} {{wp|track and field}} competitions.

The Pokéathlon is handled similarly to [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s, as a sidequest to complete while the {{player}} challenges the [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Like in Contests, four competitors participate at once; however, each uses a team of three Pokémon instead of only one. The Pokémon and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that take part are known as "Pokéathletes". | The Pokéathlon is handled similarly to [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s, as a sidequest to complete while the {{player}} challenges the [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]].
