Extra battle rules, counters and effects that change after recruitment.

An extra trait
A title accompanies a Pokémon’s name and can coexist with rarity or shiny colours. Inspect it or open Titles in the Journal before fighting.
| Type | What happens | On your team |
|---|---|---|
| Swift | Takes two actions every turn: it catches up with anyone fleeing and strikes twice before you can answer. | Dodges one wild hit in five without acting twice. Against a move, its raised Evasion does not stack with it. |
| Armored | Defense and Special Defense multiplied by 1.6: your attacks hurt it far less. | Keeps ×1.3 defenses in your team: a sturdy recruit. |
| Vampire | Recovers HP equal to half the damage it deals. | Heals for a quarter of its damage on your side. |
| Enraged | Below half HP, its damage is multiplied by 1.5. | Same rage in your team: its damage ×1.5 below half HP. |
| Undying | The first hit that should knock it out leaves it at 1 HP. | Survives a fatal blow, once per exploration. |
| Thief | The first time it hits you, it takes an item from your bag and runs away. | When it knocks out a wild Pokémon, one chance in three to snatch an item from it, which drops to the ground. |
| Wrathful | Its basic attacks hit all eight tiles around it, its own allies included. | No longer hits all around it: struck in contact by a wild Pokémon, it hits back with a basic attack one time in two. |
Plan a response
A Swift enemy catches a retreat, a Vampire heals by attacking and an Undying Pokémon survives a fatal hit. Sleep and restraints help you prepare rather than repeating the same attack blindly.
Recruits retain titles, but Swift, Thief and Wrathful work differently on your team. Armored and Vampire stay, but weaker (×1.3 defenses, a quarter of the damage healed). Other titles keep their effect. Temporary arena strengthening is not automatically a permanent recruit bonus: inspect the new member afterward.
The player profile titles earned through Achievements are separate and do not grant these effects to Pokémon.
