Gameplay

Your goal is to become the Johto Champion, but the story now has a deeper mystery. You will cross paths with Eusine, a dedicated researcher who has spent his life chasing the legendary Suicune. To earn a chance to face Suicune, you must prove your strength and wisdom throughout your adventure.

Region Overview

Johto feels more interactive than ever. For the first time, location names will appear on your screen as you enter a new area. You can also explore the updated Ruins of Alph to solve new puzzles or head to the Battle Tower near Olivine City to test your skills in high-level competitions.

THREAT ANALYSIS

Team Rocket continues their criminal activities, but the focus shifts toward the legendary beasts (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune). You must stay one step ahead of both the villains and other researchers to unlock the secrets of the Tin Tower.
