Watt Trader: Difference between revisions

The Rotom Rally is a competition that requires the player to ride the [[Rotom Bike]] and reach the location of another Watt Trader in within a predefined amount of time. The destination can be any Watt Trader the player has previously visited. The amount of time allotted depends on the distance between two locations, ranging from as low as 30 seconds (the [[Hammerlocke Hills]] to the [[Giant's Cap]] or vice versa) to as high as 190 seconds (the Hammerlocke Hills to the [[Dappled Grove]] or vice versa).

During the Rotom Rally, when the player passes through a white balloon, the Rotom Bike receives a temporary speed boost. When passing through a red balloon, the player receives a time bonus and the road ahead (if any) will be populated with balloons. Contacting wild Pokémon does not trigger a battle but instead causes the bike to spin to a stop, costing the player speed.

After successfully completing the Rotom Rally, the attempt is graded with a score, calculated as <math>\text{Time remaining in seconds} \times 600</math>, and the player receives some [[Watt]]s. For their first successful attempt, the player receives {{TM|14|Thunder Wave}} from the Watt Trader. The eleventh successful attempt will earn the player a [[Fast Ball]]. The first attempt with more than 20,000 points (more than 33.33 seconds remaining on the clock) is rewarded with {{TM|80|Volt Switch}}. The player will not receive both TMs if their first successful attempt has a score more than 20,000 points.
