Asymmetrical Pokémon, like Greninja and Absol, have different mini-sprites used on the 3DS's lower screen if they face left. Olympia's entire gym has you battling out in the middle of space, standing on top of galaxies with stars and celestial objects all around you.Both the battle against the title legends and Lysandre are some particularly vivid examples of this with it being a battle in space and above a pool of fire, respectively.It bypasses accuracy checks and can even hit opponents during the semi-invulnerable period of Fly, Dig, and Sky Drop. Always Accurate Attack: Toxic becomes this if the user is a Poison-type.Although, it may not be confirmed as it may be releated to game released. The events of these games happen to take place at the same time as Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, and X and Y are alternate universes to each other (similar to Black and White and the sequels).
Certain Flying Pokémon that stand on the ground in their idle animations are ineligible for Sky Battles, including Doduo, Dodrio, and the brand new Hawlucha. Air Jousting: While seen in other Pokémon media, this game actually introduces it in the form of Sky Battles, where only Flying-types and Pokémon with the Levitate ability can participate.
However, because Sturdy ALWAYS works at full health, turning Shedinja into a Nigh-Invulnerable Stone Wall, the repeated attacks against it are absolutely pointless, allowing the player's other party members to wipe the enemy out with near complete impunity (excluding Area of Effect attacks) Presumably this is because it is a One-Hit-Point Wonder who usually relies on its invulnerability to all damaging attacks that aren't super effective against it to survive, and without that ability it SHOULD be a sitting duck.
This was only possible with Pokémon Bank before Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire came out now it is possible with just these four games, which is also a first in the series. There is no reward for capturing all of the Kalos region Pokémon, but the reward for capturing all Pokémon in the National Pokédex (excluding some special and event Pokémon) is the Shiny Charm, which increases the chance of encountering shiny Pokémon.
