Description

You encounter a Breeder who offers you some rare vouchers if you can beat her challenge. The challenge is: win a battle against the Breeder's team of 3 Pokemon with only a single Pokemon from the player’s team. The Breeder "decides" which Pokemon the player is allowed to use.

She does this by looking at which PKMN you are least friendly with, arguing that "you need to put more effort in the bond with those PKMN". The 3 Pokemon with the lowest "friendship gained in the run" value on the player's team are offered as choices for who to use in the challenge. Additionally, the amount of eggs that are won from the challenge scale with the chosen Pokemon's starter value.

For teams, check Dev notes.

SPACE has slightly different variations attached to its behavior.

Options offered to the player

• [ ] Fight with Pokemon 1
  • The player starts a battle with the single chosen PKMN on their team. They must defeat the Breeder's team
  • To add to the risk of this encounter, if the player loses, it is treated as a Game Over and the run ends even though it is only a single Pokemon on their team.
• [ ] Fight with Pokemon 2
  • The player starts a battle with the single chosen PKMN on their team. They must defeat the Breeder's team
  • To add to the risk of this encounter, if the player loses, it is treated as a Game Over and the run ends even though it is only a single Pokemon on their team.
• [ ] Fight with Pokemon 3
  • The player starts a battle with the single chosen PKMN on their team. They must defeat the Breeder's team
  • To add to the risk of this encounter, if the player loses, it is treated as a Game Over and the run ends even though it is only a single Pokemon on their team.

Reward

Based on the egg-tier of the PKMN you chose to defeat her, you get the following amount of "candy shopped" eggs. Any excess are given as tickets instead, so hopefully you have room!

The eggs being rewarded are decided by a formula that grants "points":

• 1 point is granted for each 20 BST numbers below the box legendary mark (680 BST). Minimum 1 point.
• 2 points are granted for each starter cost tier below tier 7. Minimum 0 point (tier 7). Max 12 points (tier 1).
• It caps at 30 points. For each 6 points, the player is given a rare egg. The rest are given as common eggs.

This is what it looks like in practice:

Explanation/Notes on Design

Playing on the Breeder theme, Baby Pokémon, Breeders giving eggs and on the Breeders in Space joke.

Notes to Artists

Would probably need a Breeder in a spacesuit. Or not. I don't know.
