Solo Mode now available​

A new feature, Solo Mode, is now available, allowing players to enjoy CPU battles on their own. Solo Mode progression will be split into stages, with each stage having a guideline difficulty scores. For more information on solo Mode, read the below excerpt from the Bulbanews article

Solo Mode
A new Solo Battle Mode will be available from February 26th. This is intended to allow enjoying CPU battles on one's own, such as for beginning players or for practice before Ranked Matches. Various sub-stages other than the usual 5v5, such as "Electrode Volleyball" and " Charjabug Scuffle," will also appear in Solo Mode.

Solo Mode progresses by clearing prepared stages in order, where the ally team and the opponent team are determined in advance. The strategy is looking at each team composition and deciding which Pokémon to challenge with. The difficulty of the early stages is set to be easy, with difficulty increasing with later stages. In later stages, team synergy and counter-picking opponents will be key. Each stage will have a Combat Power guideline. The combat power of a team can be increased by increasing the level of "held items" given to Pokémon or increase the level of the mode-exclusive Aeos Shooter.

On clearing a stage, a Rental License for the Pokémon that serves as that stage's icon will be obtained. Since the next stage can be challenged using the obtained Rental License, further progress will result in more experience with various Pokémon. By clearing each stage, players will obtain rewards such as License Points and Item Enhancers, which also leads to obtaining new Unite Licenses and strengthening held items. There are two types of rewards: "First-Time Clear Rewards" given on clearing that stage for the first time, and "Repeat Rewards" that can be obtained every day.
