Super Training (スーパートレーニング)

Super Training (スーパートレーニング) or S.T. was introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y and it allows players to help their Pokémon grow stronger when they’re not in battle. Super Training can be started at anytime by selecting it on the Nintendo 2DS/3DS systems Touch Screen and players can have their Pokémon participate in the activities that will increase the chosen Pokémon’s base stats not the actual level of the Pokémon. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire also included this same Super Training.

As the base stats (きそポイント) increase, a players Pokémon will be stronger than the same species of Pokémon at the same level. The base stats can also be increased using items and other methods in previous Pokémon titles, but in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Super Training provides a way to raise the base stats more easily than ever before.

Effort-o-Meter (ガンバロメータ)

The Effort-o-Meter allows players to easily understand their Pokémon’s stats at a glance with the Effort-o-Meter graph. To check a Pokémon’s Effort-o-Meter graph, players can view it on the Super Training main screen. This makes it easier for players to determine how the training is going and what areas they wish to improve a Pokémon’s stats in.


Each Pokémon has some stats that will increase more easily than others and the Effort-o-Meter graph has two colors to indicate how the Pokémon stats have changed as a result of Super Training. The Green inside part of the graph shows the stat levels relevant to each Pokémon species while the Yellow outside part of the graph shows the base stat increases that a players Pokémon has achieved. There is a meter on the right side of the graph that shows the training limit for that Pokémon. The maximum limit for each base stat is 252 points and each Pokémon has a total limit of 510 points that can be assigned to base stats.

Each stat changes how a Pokémon fairs in battles. Below is a list of the different stats that Super Training can improve:

Stat	Description
HP	Pokémon’s Hit Points. When a Pokémon’s HP falls to 0 during battle, it will be knocked out. (ポケモンの体力。攻撃を受けて0になると、バトルできなくなってしまう。)
Attack (こうげき)	Attack affects how much damage a Pokémon can deal to opposing Pokémon using physical moves. (「ぶつり」技によって、相手に与えるダメージに影響する。)
Defense (ぼうぎょ)	Defense affects how much damage a Pokémon takes from opposing Pokémon physical moves. (「ぶつり」技によって、相手から受けるダメージに影響する。)
Sp. Atk (とくこう)	The Special Attack stat affects how much damage a Pokémon can deal to opponents using special moves. (「とくしゅ」技によって、相手に与えるダメージに影響する。)
Sp. Def (とくぼう)	The Special Defense stat affects how much damage a Pokémon can take from an opponent’s special moves. (「とくしゅ」技によって、相手から受けるダメージに影響する。)
Speed (すばやさ)	Speed affects which Pokémon gets to move first in battle. (相手と、どちらが先に技を使うかの順番に影響する。)

Core Training (ベーストレーニング)

Core Training (ベーストレーニング) is one of the most basic ways to raise a base stat in Pokémon X and Y. Players select a Training Bag they wish to use which has an associated base stat improvement value. The player can then help out by tapping the Training Bag on the Touch Screen and the selected Pokémon will be motivated hit it. The Pokémon will also hit it on its own without the players intervention. One the Training Bag has been used up, the Pokémon will receive the base stats.

Training Bags (サンドバッグ)

Training Bags (サンドバッグ) can boost a Pokémon's base stats and they are given to players that complete a Super Training Regimen. If the player does not complete the regimen, they will still be given a training bag to help their Pokémon. Some Training Bags can also be randomly found by a Pokémon during Super Training and players can also tap on the standard bag to randomly receive a bag.

Players can store up to 12 training bags and once one is selected, the bag appears on the touch screen. Players can then tap the bag and the Pokémon will attack it.

The standard Training Bags come in three sizes: Small (S), Medium (M) or Large (L). Small (S) gives the players selected Pokémon +1 to the base stat of that Training Bag type. M gives the Pokémon +4 base stats and L gives them +12. Other more rarer bags can aid training in other ways and the chart below lists all these Training Bags.

Super Training Regimens

Super Training Regimens are mini-games that feature giant sized Pokémon balloons. There are six different regimens, ones for each base stat. Players that which to improve a base stat of their Pokémon can select the associated regimen. Players use the Circle pad to move the Pokémon and their own goal in the field and tap the Touch Screen in the area that they wish to shoot their ball. The player can use the Left trigger button to temporarily put up a defense to block incoming balls from the opponent. The object is to score enough points by shooting balls into the opponents goals.


Super Training regimens have 3 different levels of difficulty. Each level of difficulty is unlocked once all of the previous levels 6 different regimens have been completed. Each regiment has a Target Time Remaining to receive a medal. If the player completes the game with more time left than the Target Time on a regiment, they get the medal. Best times are kept for all the players Pokémon that participate in a regiment and the Best Time of any of the players Pokémon is listed in each regiments menu.
