Trivia

  • On release, Rosa (Academy) & Deerling had two Initial Propulsion 1 red tiles, one for X Speed and one for Sunny Day. However, due to an oversight, these tiles conflicted with each other and only one could be activated each battle. To fix this, Sunny Day: Initial Propulsion 1 was changed to Sunny Day: Afflicter's Fervor 1 on April 8, 2025.
