Guest Ally: The Coalition Commander
(Guest allies are added to your Reserve at the start of battle. They don't count towards your "bring" limit.)
Raid Arena — The Coalition Castle
The two armies regularly clash in Eastern Paldea, over a dusty strip of wasteland on the southmost shore. The metal-rich soil makes it a favored place for both people, and the inevitable territorial war only adds more metal to the earth as bodies fall...
The scrap-seeking Scourge Legion now marches from the north, seeking to dismantle all that we hold dear for parts. Is this the Coalition's last stand?
Camouflage: Steel | Nature Power: Metal Sound | Secret Power: 50% chance to lower the defender's Defense by one (1) for their next three (3) turns.
All Phases - The Battle for the Korvid Kingdom
The battlefield is divided into four "zones": the West Wall, the North Wall, the East Wall, and the Korvid Kingdom's Keep. These zones affect the battlefield in a myriad of ways:
Each wall has 500 Structure HP; and the Keep has 2,000 Structure HP.
Actions and effects of Pokemon can only affect other Pokemon in the same zone.
Field Conditions are confined to the zone they're created in.
Battle Conditions affect and are affected by every zone.
As any Pokemon changes zones, they remain in play. They keep all of their stages and Conditions at their current durations.
Hazards: Field Hazards' effects will trigger "When a Pokemon enters this zone (including when an Invader enters play)" instead of from their usual criteria.
For their turn, each Scourge Invader will do one of the following, starting from the top:
First, if any player-controlled Pokemon is present in their zone, they'll perform their ordered action as normal.
Else, if no player-controlled Pokemon is present in their zone, and their zone still has any Structure HP remaining, they'll deal their listed Structure Damage to the Zone.
Otherwise, they'll move to the Keep.
At the end of the round, if it is the second round of this Raid phase: Advance the Raid phase.
If a Wall runs out of Structure HP, it is destroyed. If the Keep runs out of Structure HP, the player loses the battle.
All Phases - Defending the Keep
As the raid begins; the PR starts in the West Wall, The SU starts in the North Wall, and the AG starts in the East Wall. The Corvid Commander starts in the Keep, and takes orders from the player.
In their order post, before they issue orders; the player may move up to one (0-1) Pokemon they control to another zone. (You can move to destroyed zones to intercept invaders, if needed.)
All attacks, used by Pokemon the player controls, target "one other Pokemon".
(Tinkatink Warriors and Tinkatuff Elites have Traits that cause excess damage from attacks to "spill over" to the next Warrior or Elite.)
All Phases - The Last Line of Defense
When Scourge invaders faint, their listed value in Gimmigold is paid to the challenger.
In their order post, before they issue orders, the challenger may spend their Gimmigold to place Forretrifications on a Wall or the Keep; and to upgrade their Forretrifications. Forretrifications may also be dismantled if desired, but no Gimmigold is refunded.
Each wall has room for 2 Forretrifications by default, and the Keep has room for 4 Forretrifications. No Zone can have more than one of the same type of Forretrification (regardless of their upgrade state).
Forretrifications in destroyed zones continue to function, if their effects are applicable, and they can still be upgraded.
Forretrification List
Each Forretrification costs a certain amount of Gimmigold to place. The price of upgrading a Forretrification is twice (x2) the cost of creating it.
Upgrading a Forretrification replaces a portion of its effect text with the chosen upgraded text. A Forretrification can be switched between its A and B upgrades by spending the upgrade cost again, but can't have both upgrades at once.
The available Forretrifications, and their upgrades, are as follows:
Forretrification
Gimmigold
Effect
Upgrade A
Upgrade B

(This upgrade is
for exceeding the
limit on mines.)

Scourge Invaders [in this zone] take [double (x2)] damage from all sources.

Celemplacement

At the end of each step: Reduce each Boss' HP, equal to [100] plus [one-tenth (x0.1)] of their remaining HP.
Limit one (1) Celemplacement.
"100"
→ "300"
"one-tenth (x0.1)"
→ "one-fifth (x0.2)"
Managing your Kartarmories, and upgrading them correctly for your team, is the key to this encounter.

Silvally The Self-Perfecting Beast-Slaying Machine!
Once, the islands of Alola faced an incursion of bizarre invaders — Pokemon-like entities known as Ultra Beasts from beyond our world. Fearful of their power, a secret project was initiated to engineer a Pokemon capable of destroying them. The proposed living weapon would adapt itself based on battle data recorded from combat with the Ultra Beasts. Long before the project could be brought to fruition, however, the Ultra Beasts were brought to heel by the island's inhabitants and their guardians. The invaders, such as they were, were lost and confused in a dimension foreign to them, and an understanding was reached between the two groups.
However, the creators of the secret project remained paranoid of their quarry. In their haste to finish the weapon, they left them fatally flawed and incapable of telling friend from foe. Their initial test spelled disaster for their creators, and their unceasing mission to destroy possible threats spiraled out of control. Far from any trace of civilization, the creation that was made to protect the island from the extradimensional menace yet prowls, perceiving any life-form they meet as a threat to be laid low...

Groudon Raid Arena — Acevedo Caldera Survey Craft
The A.C.S.C. is a high-tech armored heli-craft specialized for close surveillance and study of volcanic activity, and has been retrofitted with additional protective plating for this highly dangerous excursion: Bringing you to the site of the primordial Groudon's emergence, so you can put them back into hibernation before they can rendezvous with their rival!
While here: The weather is Sun. Non-Sun Weather can't be created.
Camouflage: Steel | Nature Power: Lava Plume | Secret Power: Inflict the unique condition created by Ember.
Kyogre Raid Arena — R.S.C. Ocean-Eater
A sleek, submersible vehicle with the capacity to open along a "seam" at the front. Leveraging the abilities of its Pokemon-dense crew, barriers can be formed that hold the depths at bay even at abyssal pressures. The ship can dive to great depths to make readings and collect samples, before surfacing to recover air and allow the crew to rest. Now, though, that crew bravely carries you to their most dangerous assignment yet: Stopping the titanic Kyogre from making landfall, and ensuring they never clash with their counterpart!
While here: The weather is Rain. Non-Rain Weather can't be created.
Camouflage: Ground | Nature Power: Dive | Secret Power: Grant the user the unique condition created by Aqua Ring.
This Raid is a little dense, so buckle in:
All Phases - The Primordial Forces
The two Bosses are each fought in separate Arenas, far apart from the other.
To do so, the player sends two "sub-teams" of 3 raiders, each with its own PR, SU, and AG, for a total of six raiders. Players decide which team fights which Boss while signing up.
Vocations can't be shared between sub-teams, so a total of six unique Vocations will be needed to fully outfit both sub-teams.
Once sent, sub-teams can't be re-assigned or switched.
All Phases - Marvels of Engineering
The two crafts that serve as Arenas, the Acevedo and the Ocean-Eater, have 300 HP and 350 HP, respectively.
When a raider takes damage from or deals damage to a Boss with an attack hit: The craft they ride also loses that much HP.
When a craft runs out of HP, or when one sub-team is fully Fainted: The player loses the Raid. (Even if the last Boss is defeated by the same action.)
Field Conditions and Battle Conditions are confined to the Arena that they were created in.
All Phases - World Tendency
The arena has numeric Terrestrial Tendency and Thalassic Tendency values that each start at three (3).
As Terrestrial Tendency and Thalassic Tendency rise, Groudon and Kyogre each respectively gain access to more moves and actions.
When one Boss faints: The other boss Primal Reverts for the rest of the Raid. Progress the Raid Phase.
All Phases - Evolving Threat
Each Boss has a pool of moves and abilities they can temporarily gain. The referee can choose which moves and abilities they want, up to Tendency.
Example: With 3 Tendency, the referee can declare three 1-point moves, a 2-point move and a 1-point ability, a 3-point ability, and so on.
At the start of the raid, before the player decides which Boss to engage first: The referee makes selections for each Boss.
All Phases - Application of Force
The player starts out in control of one of their sub-teams, as chosen above. That sub-team, their Arena, and their Boss are said to be "active", and the other sub-team, Arena, and Boss are said to be "on standby".
The player chooses which Boss they wish to engage with in the first round, before giving orders.
In the Arena on standby, Pokemon can't take turns or act, durations can't elapse, and non-arena effects are ignored.
As the player issues orders, they can also include an order to "Disengage" from the current Boss. The player can't Disengage if the Boss on standby is Fainted. The player must order Disengage, and is assumed to do have done so, if the active Boss is Fainted.
Notes - End of Round
At the end of the round, perform the following steps.
Increase inactive Boss' associated Tendency by one (1).
If the player ordered their sub-team to Disengage: Follow these instructions in sequence.
That sub-team's craft withdraws to a safe distance and performs field repair. Set that craft's HP to its maximum.
The other sub-team (re-)engages their Boss, and the player assumes control of that sub-team.
Discard the currently-active Boss's selections for Tendency; then, make new selections.

Raid Arena — The Darkest Day
The Darkest Day, as told through legends, was a doomsday that saw the old Kingdoms to their end. Just as the destruction reached its apex, the disaster was driven away by unknown Heroes, allowing Galar to rebuild.
Now, this doom has returned to Galar once more, The beast at the center of it looms, and though the heroes of old have awakened anew, the passage of time is on Ruin's side. You must aid these Heroes in their time of darkest need, and withstand the terror of the enigma within, if dawn is ever to again break upon the land of Galar!
