How To Test Out Trial Pokemon

Plan Ahead!

Since this is a limited event, make sure that you try as many Pokemon as you can in the Battle Arena. It's the best time to try out different roles that you usually do. With more Pokemon options to choose from, you can synergize with your team much better during the team matchup.

3-Day Trial Run

Since this is only available for 3 days, make sure to test as many as you can! Try to get out of your comfort Pokemon and you might discover a new niche. It's also better to be able to use multiple Pokemon rather than just a few so you can easily adjust to your current team lineup.

Try Different Roles

If you mostly play attacker roles, it's your chance to be able to try to use a wide variety of defender-type of Pokemon or a supporting role for a change. You can start off with Pokemon like Wigglytuff that has great offense capabilities for a Supporter or Greedent for that ridiculous damage for a so-called Defender type.

Try Out Held Items

Before heading into the Battle Arena make sure that you have equipped your Pokemon. You can do this by using the Battle Items from the example sets or trying out our recommended Held Items!

How To Set Up Quick Held Items

You have to usually set up a new Pokemon's Held Items as it does not have a preset beforehand. You can use the Example Sets if you're quite new as It's a great way to base upon future builds. If you want to experiment and check out advanced Held Item builds, you might want to test out our selected Held Items designed for each Pokemon with our guide in the link below.

Play Unite Battles

Of course, the best way to test out Trial Pokemon is by using them in action in the Battle Arena! Here are other modes that you can try out
