Nintendo’s latest mainline release for the franchise has flipped the formula players may have expected, and the result is a Pokémon game with a lot of new things to learn and discover. This video breaks down several important tips, perfect for the new Pokémon trainer starting their journey.
First, we dive into battling tips, including the new “Agile” and “Strong” mechanics and how they can be tactically utilized depending on your goals.

We also look at different ways players can use the new mechanics in the game, such as riding Pokémon to reach areas previously inaccessible, or by being more aggressive during Noble Pokémon fights without fear of losing save progress or items upon failure.
