Battle Villa

Artwork of the Battle Villa

The Battle Villa (Japanese: バトルヴィラ Battle Villa) is a facility in Pokémon Masters EX. Introduced in Version 1.7.1, it features sequential battle stages that allow the player to earn special rewards. It is unlocked after completing Chapter 7 of the Main Story. Unlike other battles in Pokémon Masters EX, the HP and MP (Move Points) of the team will be carried over from battles. The stages in the Battle Villa are available for a limited duration of time, and rotate approximately every two weeks.

While single-player is initially the only mode available, completion of the 20th and 25th halls will unlock co-op mode for those specific halls.

Mechanics

Battles

Battles in the Battle Villa occur in stages known as halls which feature the same three-on-three battles found elsewhere in Pasio. The player must sequentially defeat 30 halls (25 halls prior to update 1.9.0) at the Villa, with battles becoming more difficult as the player progresses through the halls. The stages can be divided into sets of five battles, with each set focusing on three various Pokémon types. The fourth and fifth battles in each set are arranged against a specific NPC (including Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and Frontier Brains).

The player can choose up to nine sync pairs in their roster to challenge the Battle Villa. Unlike other battles in Pokémon Masters EX, the HP and MP of the team are carried over from each battle and when a sync pair's HP goes to 0, the sync pair cannot participate in any further battles on the day. Likewise, the opponent's HP will be carried over from the previous battle. Prior to the update on November 19, 2020, the HP and MP of all sync pairs and sync pair roster were automatically restored at the start of each day. Since the Battle Villa update, a full recovery and sync pair roster reset is given to the player each day to be used when the player chooses to do so.

As with other battles in Pokémon Masters EX, defeating a hall earns the player with rewards. Along with these, the player can also receive bonus rewards after every five halls, and medals for defeating specific halls. Milestone rewards were awarded prior to the update on November 19, 2020. The Battle Villa is currently the only way to obtain Lucky Cookies and Lucky Scrolls to unlock a sync pair's lucky skill, except for certain events like Blissful Bonanza! and the Legendary Gauntlet.

Since January 7, 2022 the player is able to skip up to the chosen Hall (4th, 9th, 14th, or 19th) if they completed all Halls (excluding co-op) during the previous Villa. If the skip option is not used at the start of the Villa, it can't be used later. The player still receives first-clear rewards but not bonus rewards, Coins, or XP from skipped Halls.

Bonus rewards

Bonus rewards are obtained every fifth hall (excluding Hall 30), where upon defeating the opponent, the player can choose one of:

• Extra rewards: an additional Lucky Cookie reward, chosen at random

• Vitality treats: items which restore sync pair HP or MP

• Vigor treats: items which provide useful boosts to sync pairs during battle

Milestone rewards

Milestone rewards were previously obtained by defeating specific halls. These could only be claimed once the Battle Villa challenge period ended, and the rewards were stored for up to four Battle Villa challenges before they could no longer be claimed. With the update on November 19, 2020, milestone rewards were removed, and the Gem rewards included amongst the usual Battle Villa post-battle rewards.

Medal rewards

The medals Battle Pawn, Battle Knight, Battle Bishop, and Battle Rook are obtainable upon completing halls 15, 20, 25, and 30, respectively. A number of additional medals were added after the update on November 19, 2020.
