• Clear a route before opening a locked chest.

World geometry

The map is generated in chunks. Distances below are world units, not Pokémon main-series stats.

Shadow Forest

A wooded biome with water pools and trees. Water types avoid the pool movement penalty.

Crystal Cave

A crystal biome with water pools. Crystals and rocks shape the available routes.

Ash Volcano

A volcanic biome with lava. Fire Pokémon avoid lava damage; other types should use clear ground.

Water

The penalty applies while standing in the pool. An unaffected type on a dual-type Pokémon is enough to avoid it.

Swamp

Swamp slows more than ordinary water. Water types avoid the slowdown.

Lava

Damage repeats while you remain in the pool. Player defense and an active melee attack can reduce the listed base damage. Grounded enemies use their own damage formula; bosses and rift legends ignore terrain damage.

Poison pools

Damage repeats while you remain in the pool. Player defense and an active melee attack can reduce the listed base damage. Grounded enemies use their own damage formula; bosses and rift legends ignore terrain damage.

Electric pools

Damage repeats while you remain in the pool. Player defense and an active melee attack can reduce the listed base damage. Grounded enemies use their own damage formula; bosses and rift legends ignore terrain damage.

Ice

Movement gains momentum and changes direction gradually. Ice types avoid the sliding effect.

Tree

A permanent obstacle. Walk around it rather than spending attacks trying to break it.

Rock

Break it with attacks to clear a route. Drop checks share one random draw, so some rewards can occur together.

Breakable chest

Attack until its durability is depleted, then collect the drops. A held item is possible but not guaranteed.

Tall grass

Attacks cut the grass. A coin and a healing berry are alternative outcomes for the same patch.

Altar

Touch an unused altar to receive one of four temporary powers. A new power replaces your previous altar power; the altar is then spent.

Healing spring

Stand near the spring while injured to heal. It recharges even while healing, but consumption is faster than recharge. It stops at full HP or when nearly empty.

Locked chest

Stay nearby while enemies can still attack you. Leaving drains opening progress; being large increases the interaction distance.

Trap

A trap can be triggered by you or a grounded enemy. It harms nearby enemies and may also hurt or slow you. Moving away before the blast avoids the player effect.

Fury altar power

The power lasts for this run’s listed duration. Its multiplier is applied and removed when the power expires; it does not buy a permanent upgrade.

Lightning altar power

The power lasts for this run’s listed duration. Its multiplier is applied and removed when the power expires; it does not buy a permanent upgrade.

Magnet altar power

The power lasts for this run’s listed duration. Its multiplier is applied and removed when the power expires; it does not buy a permanent upgrade.

Haste altar power

The power lasts for this run’s listed duration. Its multiplier is applied and removed when the power expires; it does not buy a permanent upgrade.
