Theia Sky Ruins

Full view of Theia Sky Ruins

Theia Sky Ruins (Japanese: テイア蒼空遺跡 Theia Sky Ruins) is a stadium in Pokémon UNITE. Players can battle in it when selecting either Ranked Match or Standard Match. It is an ancient ruin located on a mountain high above Aeos Island. It is the largest stadium in the game, notably featuring wider paths and a larger central area than Remoat Stadium. Like all stadiums, it was built atop a Aeos energy spot, Theia Sky Ruins replaced Remoat Stadium in Ranked Match after its introduction.

Theia Sky Ruins can be divided into three areas: the Top Path, Bottom Path, and the Central Area. Additionally, each team has a base where all three areas branch off from. Each base has a barrier in front of it that members of the opposing team cannot pass through. While at their base, Pokémon recover health very quickly. All members of a team start a Unite Battle from this base and respawn there if they are knocked out.

Each team has five goal zones. Two of them lie on the Top Path, the other two are on the Bottom Path, and the last is just in front of that team's base. As long as the 4 farthest goal zones remain intact, a speed-flux zone appears on the road between each goal zone. The speed-flux zone increases the speed of allied Pokémon moving within it while substantially reducing the speed of Pokémon on the opposing team doing the same. After a goal zone is destroyed, the speed-flux zone just behind it disappears. Two Sitrus Berries appear just behind each team's forward-most goal zones until those goal zones are destroyed.

The outer portion of the Central Area contains two jump pads on each team's side. When a player stands on these pads, they are launched into the inner portion of the Central Area. The inner portion of the Central Area is separated from the outer portion by gaps, such that the inner portion can only be entered via two bridges on each side of the outer portion, via the jump pads, or from the center of the Top and Bottom Paths. Four Salac Berries appear in the inner portion of the Central Area, in a square shape where the Berries line up with the bridges to the inner portion of the Central Area. In the center of the Central Area, within the inner portion, lies the Pit. The Pit has two entrances at its north and south halves and walls to its east and west, but the top entrance closes off when Rayquaza appears in the Pit to battle. That entrance reopens after Rayquaza's defeat.

After five minutes have passed, the superjump springboard appears within each team's base. Activating this springboard allows players to leap to their choice of six different locations on their team's side of the map. Two of the destinations are on the Top Path, two of the destinations are on the Bottom Path, and the final two locations are in the outer portion of the Central Area. The latter locations on the Top and Bottom Paths line up with the location of the middle goal zones on that Path. Landing from the superjump springboard throws opposing Pokémon that are at the destination.

After Rayquaza appears at the last two minutes, circular air currents will appear near the center of the stage and at destroyed goal zones. Entering these currents briefly increases a Pokémon's movement speed.

• Regieleki (Mid-boss)

It appears to use Electroweb and Thunder Cage. Aside from those, it uses ranged attacks. It holds 20 Aeos energy. After being defeated, it joins the team that dealt the last hit and moves toward the nearest opposing goal zone while holding another set of 20 Aeos energy. The opposing team can attack it, reducing the amount of Aeos energy it carries or defeat it entirely. If Regieleki reaches a goal zone, it scores its currently held Aeos energy for the allied team and shut off the goal zone's defenses for 24 seconds. If it is currently on a team, Regieleki will not despawn due to Rayquaza's appearance.
• The Original Three Legendary giants (Mid-bosses)
  • One of the three original Legendary giants, Regice, Regirock, and Registeel, appear in the center of the Bottom Path. The giant that appears is chosen at random. One of them will first appear after three minutes have passed. After that one is defeated, another giant will spawn every two minutes. When Rayquaza spawns, these Pokemon will stop respawning or despawn. Each one holds 20 Aeos energy.
  • Regice (Mid-boss)
    • It uses two indeterminate moves and ranged attacks. Defeating Regice gives all members of the team that defeated it a shield and a yellow buff increases their HP recovery speed for 90 seconds.
  • Regirock (Mid-boss)
    • It uses two indeterminate moves, along with melee attacks. Defeating Regirock gives all members of the team that defeated it a shield and grants an orange buff that increases their Defense and Sp. Def for 90 seconds.

It holds 30 Aeos energy. Defeating this Pokémon grants all members of the team that defeated it boosted scoring speed and a shield. While this shield is active, receiving damage will not interrupt scoring attempts.

In the manga

In Pokémon UNITE Manga - Come On Over to Aeos Island!, the location that becomes the Theia Sky Ruins appears as the setting of the fourth chapter, In Search of an Aeos Energy Spot. In it, Professor Phorus and Erbie climb into the mountains and discover ancient ruins on top of an Aeos energy spot. While it is naturally foggy, Eribe removes the mist with Rufflet's Defog.
