Trainer Tips

Trainer Tips!
Pokémon moves use energy called
Power Points, or PP for short.
If the PP of moves runs low, head for
any Pokémon Center.

Trainer Tips!
If a Pokémon is about to evolve,
it can be instantly stopped.
Press the B Button during evolution
to startle the Pokémon into stopping.
That is how evolution can be
canceled.
