Battle Castle FAQ

	Battle Castle FAQ:

Basic Definition: The Battle Castle is the management facility. Unlike other facilities, your Pokemon are not fully healed after each fight (though if they died, they are brought back to 1HP). You can not bring your own held items into the facility.
Instead, you are given Castle Points at the start of each set, and after every battle, to you to manage your battles. While the amount at the start of each set is always 10, the amount after each battle varies depending on how you performed in that battle. The amount you receive is based on the following:

Used 5 or less total PP used in battle: 8CP
If over 5, then used 10 or less total PP used in battle: 6CP
If over 10, then used 15 or less total PP used in battle: 4CP
For each Pokemon that has not fainted: 3CP
For each Pokemon with full HP: 3CP
If not Full HP, then for each Pokemon with more than half HP remaining: 2CP
If not Half HP, the for each Pokemon with less than half HP remaining: 1CP
For each Pokemon with no status ailment: 1CP
For each opponent Pokemon at Level 55: 7CP

This means the highest amount you can get from a battle is 50 Castle Points (8 + 9 + 9 + 3 + 21).

You can then use these Castle Points in between battles to do a variety of things, such as heal your HP, or gives held items to your Pokemon. You can also spend them to find out information about your opponents Pokemon before the battle starts, and also alter their Level by 5 either way.
You can also "Rank Up" these options to allow you more choices within them, for example, being able to rent Choice Specs instead of just berries.
After Set 3, you are also given the option to "Pass" and simply skip a battle for the decently hefty price of 50 CP.

Difficulty: 4th of 5 (Easy)

Manipulation: While the fights are determined by calls to the Primary RNG, there is nothing you can do within the sets to influence the Pokemon you can fight. So smart use of your points is the best you can do, to skip over undesirables.
