# Battle Factory guide

Draft rental Pokémon, clear trainer tiers, and earn Factory Points.

## Battle Factory

Battle Factory is a solo challenge using rental Pokémon.

Draft a team, defeat trainers, and take their Pokémon after each victory. Earn Factory Points for exclusive rewards.

{% hint style="info" %}
**No preparation needed.** Your Pokémon, breeding, and EV training do not apply here.
{% endhint %}

### Why play?

* **Equal starts:** Every player drafts from the same pool.
* **Exclusive rewards:** Buy Mega Stones, Z-Crystals, Z-Rings, and Vitamin Candies.
* **Endless challenge:** Reach Limitless and chase your highest streak.
* **70+ trainers:** Battle Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Champions, and more.

### Tiers

Each standard tier has **20 battles** and ends with a Bonus Encounter.

|      Tier     | Battles | Rental pool | Bonus Encounter                               |
| :-----------: | :-----: | :---------: | --------------------------------------------- |
|    **Easy**   |    20   |  77 Pokémon | Gym Leaders, Team Grunts                      |
|   **Medium**  |    20   |  64 Pokémon | Elite Four, Criminal Bosses                   |
|    **Hard**   |    20   |  23 Pokémon | Champions, Frontier Brains, Anime Trainers    |
| **Limitless** |    ∞    |  21 Pokémon | All previous trainers, plus Lo'ai Gym Leaders |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tiers unlock permanently.** Clear a tier once to start future runs there.
{% endhint %}

#### Limitless mode

Limitless never ends. Trainers continue until you lose, and your highest streak appears on the leaderboard.

### How a run works

{% columns %}
{% column %}

#### During a tier

* Battle 20 trainers.
* Earn Factory Points for each win.
* Swap a rental for a defeated trainer's Pokémon after each victory.
  {% endcolumn %}

{% column %}

#### Between tiers

* Face a Bonus Encounter for extra rewards.
* Draft an entirely new team from the stronger pool.
* Continue into the next difficulty.
  {% endcolumn %}
  {% endcolumns %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Swapping is the strategy.** A defeated trainer's Pokémon is the only way to improve mid-tier. Plan for type coverage before taking the flashiest choice.
{% endhint %}

### Factory Points

Factory Points are the Battle Factory currency. Earn them from every battle you win.

|      Tier     | Points per battle |
| :-----------: | :---------------: |
|    **Easy**   |         50        |
|   **Medium**  |        100        |
|    **Hard**   |        200        |
| **Limitless** |        200        |

#### Bonus Encounter rewards

Bonus Encounters award more points. They can also drop a random Mega Stone or Z-Crystal.

|      Tier     | Points | Mega Stone / Z-Crystal chance |
| :-----------: | :----: | :---------------------------: |
|    **Easy**   |   100  |               1%              |
|   **Medium**  |   150  |              2.5%             |
|    **Hard**   |   250  |               5%              |
| **Limitless** |   250  |               5%              |
