Rockets & Police in Poke Alliance: how it works

How it works

Each NPC only counts one win per week; on Monday they are all available again. The win counter, however, never resets. If you beat all 13 Rockets every week, you reach Giovanni’s 130 wins in 10 weeks; if one week you only beat 8, you add 8 and carry on from there.

Rockets and police: rules
Rule	Rockets	Police
Requirement	VIP Account	VIP Account and having beaten Giovanni
Battle	Pokéview, up to 6 Pokémon	Pokéview, up to 6 Pokémon
Time per battle	5 minutes	3 minutes
Valid wins	1 per Rocket per week	1 per officer per week
Reset	Every Monday	Every Monday
Reward	Rocket Tokens, instantly	Police Tokens, when you hand in the win to the NPC
Final boss	Giovanni, at 130 wins	Officer Jenny, at 130 wins

Note: The «Premium» requirement of these battles is the VIP Account. It has nothing to do with the Premium track of the Game Pass or the Calendar.

Rockets

There are 13 of them and each one is stronger than the last: the first ones use low-level Pokémon, and the last ones, high-level Shiny teams. They are in their base, by the lake north of Viridian. To start the battle, talk to the Rocket; the reward reaches your backpack as soon as you beat them.

Rocket Blaze	5–15	2–5	1
Rocket Frost	10–18	3–6	1
Rocket Thorn	15–23	5–10	1–3
The other 10 (Shadow to Eclipse)	20–30	8–15	3–5

Note: Bronze Rocket Tokens always drop. Silver and Gold ones do not: each battle has a chance to give them. Very rarely, the Rocket Outfit or the Giovanni Outfit drops too.

Giovanni

Requirements: level 300, VIP Account and 130 wins against Rockets.
Battle: in Pokéview, your Pokémon (up to 6) against his 6 Shiny Pokémon. You have 5 minutes and cannot use Revive or Potion.
If you lose, challenging him again costs 30 Luck Medallions.

First win

The first win unlocks the police officers and, besides those items, gives 5,000,000 XP and a very small chance at the Rocket Outfit and the Giovanni Outfit. The Rocket Outfit is a pedestal that unlocks the outfit for a single character; the Giovanni Outfit is purely decorative.

Giovanni’s Pokémon

Police officers

They unlock once you beat Giovanni. There are 13, each specialized in one type and with 6 Pokémon, most of them level 800 Shinies. Their battles are shorter than the Rockets’: you only get 3 minutes.

Order:

1. Officer Blaze
2. Officer Marina
3. Sergeant Volt
4. Captain Verdant
5. Inspector Frost
6. Commander Mind
7. Warden Shade
8. Lieutenant Alloy
9. Marshal Boulder

Note: Unlike with the Rockets, Police Tokens do not arrive when the battle ends: they are handed out when you report the win to the NPC.

Officer Jenny

Requirements: level 300, VIP Account and 130 wins against police officers.
Battle: in Pokéview, your Pokémon (up to 6) against her 6 level-1600 Pokémon. You have 10 minutes at most.
You can use Moomoo Milk: it restores half of the Pokémon’s maximum health and recharges in 30 seconds. It only works in Pokéview, in battles that allow it.

Reward

20–30
8–15, not guaranteed
3–5, not guaranteed

The win also gives 5,000,000 XP.

What to do with the tokens

Rocket Tokens and Police Tokens are traded for Helds at the Exchange of Helds machine, right next to the Boost machine (Boost Stone Workshop), in the southern part of the Trade Center. The machine shows every trade: which token it takes, how many, and the tier range the Held can come from.
