Story[]

Welcome to Rica, a small, tropical island with a variety of environments and high biodiversity. Much of Rica is covered in a dense rainforest and jungles, but the island also contains many other habitats, including mountains, meadows, prairies, plains, volcanoes, dry forests, savannahs, beaches, and of course the ocean. The beaches, both rocky and sandy, are extremely popular among residents and tourists. Many Pokemon in Rica can be found nowhere else, while others are familiar to advanced Pokémon trainers. Some Rica natives, like Terundra, can be found in Atlas as well.

Along your journey, you’ll also assist Professor Piper, who has been looking for skilled trainers to help her study the secrets of the rainforest. The wild Pokemon in Rica are growing more dangerous every day, and she wants to know what could be causing their aggression.

To enter the jungles, you will need to prove your strength by earning gym badges from the four gyms in the region. Trainers in Rica love to double battle. Be prepared to face nearly every trainer in double battle format, including the gyms!
