Pokéthlon is a type of competition involving Pokémon racing and similar athletic competitions in the manner of Olympic track and field competitions. It will be introduced in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
In the games
The Pokéthlon appears to handled similar to Pokémon Super Contests from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, as a sidequest to complete while the player challenges the gyms and the Pokémon League. Like the Contests, four competitors participate at once but they use teams of three Pokémon each.
Like the five statistics introduced for Pokémon Contests, each Pokémon has special attributes just for Pokéthlons: Speed, Power, Technique, Stamina, and Jump. Each of the statistics is measured by stars, and some have different maximum values than others. Speed can have up to five stars; Power up to four; and the remainder can be raised to a maximum of three stars.
By winning events in the Pokéthlon, the participating Pokémon will earn medals.
Dash Hurdle
The Dash Hurdle are based on hurdle races. In Dash Hurdle, the selected Pokémon run around a track. By tapping the Nintendo DS's touch screen with the stylus, the player can make them jump over hurdles. The Speed and Jump statistics are valuable in this event.
Ring-Out Fight
In this competition based on Sumo wrestling, four Pokémon enter a ring and attempt to shove the others out with only tackles. Stamina and power are valuable in this competition.
Shooting Snow
Shooting Snow is a combination between dodgeball and a snowball fight. Two teams of Pokémon engage in a snowball fight. If a Pokémon is hit by a snowball, they leave the field. The team that knocks out the other player's Pokémon wins. Technique determines aim and Power determines strength.
Bound Field
A game similar to pachinko. In Bound Field, Technique and Jump are the focus. Again, with the touch screen, the Trainer taps his or her Pokemon. The quicker he or she taps, the higher the Pokémon will jump and the more lamps they hit, and the higher the final score will be.
