Battle Zones Appear Randomly
Batlle Zones appear at a random location each night. Once it appears, you can fast travel and battle the Trainers within the zone.
Note that some Battle Zones will not appear until you progress through the main story.
Three Battle Zones Appear After Completing the Main Story
When you clear the main story, the rules of Z-A Royale will change slightly and will now spawn three Battle Zones simultaneously at night.
Battle Zone Strategies and Tips
Sneak Up on a Trainer's Pokemon to Strike First
You can sneak up on a Trainer and attack their Pokemon before they notice you to perform a First Strike.
First Strikes deal more damage than the usual attack and there is chance that you may defeat the Pokemon without engaging in battle.
Complete Bonus Card Missions
Bonus Cards may be found in the Battle Zone and include a mission goal to complete to earn additional points and medals. Use this to farm for money and rank points effectively.
You can pick up multiple Bonus Cards but you can only hold three at a time. If you want to pick up a fourth one, you will need to trade it with the 3 other cards that you already have.
