Training mode allows you to freely explore Theia Sky Ruins and get better map knowledge. Know how to effectively navigate around walls and obstacles, or check out where tall grass are placed to get more info on ganking opportunities.
This mode is also a great way test out the different moves your Pokemon has in its arsenal. Moreover, use it to test different Held Items and Battle Items that you have unlocked or purchased.

Since matches in the Practice Area are not real battles, the result of the match, points scored, and knock downs will not be recorded in your Battle Record. This means that you can leave any time without any penalties.
Training mode allows players to practice each Pokemon without participating in online UNITE Battles. It lets you tweak various game settings like turning on invincibility, Wild Pokemon spawns, or changing Pokemon levels.
You can only use the training mode alone, which means that you cannot play with friends in this mode. This is especially hard for players who want to practice with a Pokemon that primarily uses heal or buff moves on teammates.
It also lets you play against only one practice partner, which limits your options for simulating fights.
The training mode lets you play with any Pokemon from the roster, regardless if you have its license or not. This is great for testing out Pokemon before you buy them with Aeos Coins or Gems.
