Training grounds

Training grounds in Jubilife Village

The training grounds (Japanese: 訓練場 training grounds) is a location in Jubilife Village in the Hisui region. It is used by the Galaxy Expedition Team as a place to strengthen their Pokémon. Members of the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan can be challenged here after both Adaman and Irida decided to train here, who appear facing their respective Almighty Sinnoh in battle.

Move Tutor

Zisu acts as a Move Tutor, teaching new moves to the player's Pokémon for a fee. Moves taught outside of a Pokémon's level-up moveset require a Seed of Mastery in order to be mastered, a service also provided by Zisu.

Certain moves will only be available for teaching after reaching a certain rank.
