Punching Bag
(and Training Camp)
Training levels up eight of a Pokémon's stats, one at a time: Attack, Defense, HP, Precision, Evasion, Critical Damage, Critical Chance and Critical Resistance. Training uses up charges and is done on a Punching Bag inside a House or at the Training Camp in the Trade Center.
What you train
Each stat has its own level and progress bar. Each level adds:
| Stat | Each level |
|---|---|
| Attack | +0.1% damage |
| Defense | +0.05% Defense |
| HP | +0.1% HP |
| Precision | +0.2 Precision points |
| Evasion | +0.2 Evasion points |
| Critical Damage | +0.1% Critical Damage |
| Critical Chance | +0.1 Critical Chance points |
| Critical Resistance | +0.1 Critical Resistance points |
Example: with Attack at level 10, the Pokémon deals 1% more damage. With Precision at level 10, its Precision goes up 2 points: if it had 10%, it now has 12%. Evasion, Critical Chance and Critical Resistance work the same way: the points are added straight to their percentage.
Note: Critical Resistance lowers the chance of the Pokémon taking a critical hit.
Training with the Punching Bag
Step 1:
Place the Punching Bag inside a House. It comes packaged: the NPC Jully sells it for 15,000,000 Pokédollars and the Diamond Store (Promotions category) for 15 Diamonds.
Step 2:
Load it with a charger.
Step 3:
Choose the stat you want to train.
Step 4:
Send out the Pokémon you are going to train.
Step 5:
Start the training and follow its progress in the panel.
A Punching Bag takes up to 4 Pokémon at a time. With a single Pokémon training, it spends 1 charge per cycle, usually every 2 seconds: a charger (20,000 charges) lasts about 11 hours of non-stop training, and the 100,000-charge maximum about 55 hours.
Chargers
Both add 20,000 charges. The Punching Bag Charger is sold by the NPC Jully, at the entrance of the Trade Center, for 600,000 Pokédollars. The Punching Bag Premium Charger also gives 20% more training XP and is bought in the Diamond Store, under Promotions, in packs of 10 for 10 Diamonds.
A Punching Bag holds 100,000 charges at most.
It only takes a whole charger when it has 80,000 charges or fewer left.
Types do not mix: while normal charges are left it will not take Premium ones, and the other way round.
Training Camp
The Training Camp is a PC in the Trade Center for training without a House: go down the Trade Center stairs and head right. It has slots, and each one trains one Pokémon with its own charges. No slot is free: they unlock one at a time, paid with Diamonds or with bank balance, and the window shows the price of the next one.
Step 1:
Use the Training Camp PC: the «Training Camp» window opens.
Step 2:
If you have no free slot, the next one shows as «Slot N locked» with its price («N Diamonds or … from your bank balance»). Press «UNLOCK»: in «Unlock Training Slot» you choose «Diamonds», «Balance» (bank balance) or «Cancel».
Step 3:
Drag the Pokémon’s Poké Ball onto «Put your Pokémon here».
Step 4:
Drag a Charger onto «Put a charger here». The slot shows which charges it has: «Normal charges», «Premium charges: +20% skill experience» or «No charges».
Step 5:
Pick the stat from the list and press «PLAY».
Step 6:
To pick the Pokémon up, press «RETRIEVE». The game tells you «<Pokémon> is back from <stat>: N level(s) gained.».
It uses the same Chargers as the Punching Bag: 20,000 charges each, up to 100,000 per slot. With the Premium one, +20% training XP.
If the stat is locked, training stops when it levels up and the message says so («The trained skill is locked, so the training stopped at the level up.»).
If your backpack is full when you pick it up, the Pokémon goes to your Depot («Your backpack is full, so the Pokémon was sent to your depot.»).
Checking levels and locking a stat
Right-click the Pokémon's Poké Ball in your backpack and choose «Customize Pokéball».
Open the Training tab, the one with the star icon.
You will see the level (Lv.) and progress percentage of each stat.
Next to each stat there is a lock. If you close it, training stops as soon as that stat levels up, so you do not waste charges. It works the same at the Training Camp.
