Courtyard Colosseum (Japanese: キャッスルコロシアムCastle Colosseum) is a Colosseum in Pokémon Battle Revolution. The Colosseum and the castle it is set in are led by Kruger.
Courtyard Colosseum is set at the courtyard of Kruger's Castle, with ghostly colored oil lamps on each corner of the arena to light up battles. It has a unique feature of occasional thick Fog enveloping the surroundings when battling there. The fog is speculated to raise the chances of a missed attack.
After the first clear of Stargazer Colosseum, the Survival Battle, the longest type of battle in this game with a hundred rounds, is hosted by this Colosseum. Kruger battles the player every ten rounds, including the final. All the other ninety Trainers are faced in random order.
The Pokémon Wheel. Effects benefiting a single Pokémon have larger slices than those benefiting the whole party.
The Survival Battle is one of the longest battles in Pokémon game history, consisting of one hundred rounds which take hours to clear in all, comparable to XD's Mt. Battle. The battle ends once a player loses, drains out all their Pokémon or they give up.
Every ten rounds, Kruger faces the player. All six Pokémon in the player's party are used, regardless of the number actually used by their opponent, but at the end of each round/match, their Pokémon retain any losses they have, including HP drain, move PP consumption, used items and status problems. After each match, they spin the Pokémon wheel and depending on where they throw their dart on, the Pokémon are recovered according to the color-code legend shown by the wheel.
White: No effect; no Pokémon recover.
Lime green: Any one Pokémon's health (HP) is restored to full.
Blue-violet: All six Pokémon have their move PP resupplied.
Peach: All items held by one Pokémon are reset.
Yellow: All Pokémon with Status problems are cured.
Pink: One Pokémon is completely refreshed -- all items and PP are reset, Status problems cured and health restored.
Light Yellow: One Pokémon recovers from Status problems.
Pale Red: All Pokémon's items are reset.
Light Blue: Move PP is reset to full for one Pokémon.
Green: All Pokémon regain full health.
Purple: All Pokémon and their HP, move PP, Status problems if any, and any items they hold are entirely reset and refreshed.
Each opposing Trainer battles with fewer Pokémon than the player. Starting from just one, following each battle with Kruger, it increases by one until four are used in total. Additionally, the first and/or second Pokémon in left to right, top to bottom order on the Pass arrangement are always sent out -- the player cannot pick at the start of the round.
If the player has time constrains on playing but wishes to clear the whole battle, they can quicksave but can only carry on the battle on their next session, not start a new one.
The Poké Coupons award system also works differently in the Survival Battle. Instead of having to beat all 100 Trainers in this Colosseum, a player can choose to quit right after beating a Trainer (rather than quicksave or continue), and collect a sum of Poké Coupons. If retiring after 50 rounds (halfway) or clearing all 100, they will be awarded 10,000 coupons, the largest amount in the whole game.
Special rules also exist for the Survival Battle, similar to Little Battle and Masters Battle.
If playing in Double Battle mode, it is required that the team must have at least two available Pokémon at the start of a round.
If the player decides to try the Pokémon wheel with only one Pokémon left and even fails to heal just that Pokémon, the battle will be terminated.
Trivia
The grand castle in the background of this Colosseum is based on the head of a Bastiodon.
This is the only Colosseum in Pokétopia to have naturally occurring weather. The fog that appears can nonetheless be overwritten by other weather forms.
This Colosseum's battle theme samples minor sound effects from the first three generations of core seriesgames.
