🔥 Choose Your Starter Pokémon

Your adventure begins with a choice between three starter Pokémon. Each one has its own type combination and provides a different starting option for your team.

• Marmroot – Grass: Choose this Pokémon if you want a Grass-type starter.
• Crackliss – Fire/Poison: This starter has two types, Fire and Poison.
• Mishimizu – Water: Choose this Pokémon for a Water-type starting option.

Your starter is an important part of your early team. You can catch other Pokémon throughout Athanto and build a team with different types and abilities.

🐾 Collect More Than 360 Pokémon

Pokémon collection is a major part of your adventure. Pokémon Monomyth advertises more than 360 new and returning species.

You can search different locations for wild encounters and expand your Pokédex as you discover new creatures.

Here are some collection features worth exploring:

• Discover new Pokémon species across Athanto.
• Catch returning Pokémon and build different teams.
• Learn about Pokémon types and abilities.
• Search for creatures in different regional locations.
• Keep track of your discoveries through the Pokédex.
• Look for special colour variations in wild encounters.

The large Pokédex gives you plenty of species to discover as you progress through the region.

🎨 Search for Different Pokémon Coats

One of the most unusual features in Pokémon Monomyth is its coat system.

Wild Pokémon can appear with different coat colour variations. These variations provide additional visual combinations for the same species.

Here is what you can explore:

• Search for different coat colours during wild encounters.
• Compare the appearance of Pokémon from the same species.
• Collect different visual variations.
• Check the Pokédex for coat information.

Keep in mind that coat variations and shiny Pokémon are separate appearance systems. Both are documented independently in the game's Pokédex reference.

⚔️ Build Your Team and Battle Trainers

Battles are an important part of your progress. You need to select suitable Pokémon, understand their types, and use your available moves carefully.

During battles, pay attention to:

• Your Pokémon's type advantages and disadvantages.
• The moves available to each team member.
• Different abilities and their battle effects.
• Your opponent's Pokémon and team composition.
• The condition of your Pokémon before important encounters.

The Trainer AI system is another notable feature. It provides a different approach to trainer encounters throughout your adventure.
