This extended campaign provides trainers with plenty of time to scout and recruit the featured Pokémon for their teams.

Featured Pokémon

The Standard Select M-A campaign showcases all Pokémon that are eligible to participate in Regulation M-A battles. These featured Pokémon represent a diverse range of types and roles, allowing trainers to build balanced and competitive teams. For a complete list of featured Pokémon, access the in-game Scout menu and navigate to [Scout] → [Scout Pokémon] → [Select Details] to view the "Featured Pokémon List."

Understanding Scouting and Selection

In Pokémon Scarlet, scouting is the primary method for recruiting Pokémon to join your team. Here's what you need to know about the scouting system:

Free Scouting

You can scout once every 22 hours without spending any VP (the in-game currency). This free scouting opportunity allows all trainers to gradually build their teams without financial investment.

Accelerated Scouting

To speed up the scouting process, you can use VP or Fast Coupons to reduce wait times. This allows dedicated trainers to recruit Pokémon more quickly and build their competitive rosters faster.

Selection Variety

The Pokémon available through scouting depends on which "Select" (recruitment pool) you're using. Different selections feature different Pokémon, so choosing the right selection is crucial for building your desired team composition.

Important Scouting Notes

• Each scouting attempt will not feature multiple copies of the same Pokémon—you'll receive one unique Pokémon per scout
• Some special selections may require specific tickets for access
• Plan your scouting strategy carefully to maximize your chances of recruiting the Pokémon you need

Building Your Competitive Team

The Standard Select M-A campaign is the perfect opportunity to scout Pokémon that meet Regulation M-A requirements. Whether you're looking to fill specific roles in your team, experiment with new strategies, or complete your roster, this campaign provides access to a wide variety of competitive-ready Pokémon.

Take advantage of the extended campaign period to carefully plan your scouting strategy and build the ultimate Regulation M-A team. Every scout brings you closer to competitive success!
