One of the unique parts about the Pokémon Paradise is the ability to rank up. Instead of your team getting a special rank which is increased, it is instead the Pokémon Paradise which increases in rank. Increasing this rank will give you a variety of items, materials and even give you access to more stores.

When you reach Perfect Rank, you will be able to teach your main Pokémon the special moves of Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Volt Tackle or Draco Meteor, depending upon the Pokémon you

The main part of the Pokémon Paradise is an area where you can customise. While you start off with just the house, you have the ability to increase the area thanks to Gurdurr. You start off being able to excavate each individual area adjacent to your home, but this starts expanding on and on until you have filled all nine areas. There are four different types of area you can create, each with four possible stores. However, the amount of areas you run helps determine the maximum amount of Pokémon you can recruit.

Two of the stores you can create in the Pokémon Paradise provide minigames for you to participate in. These mini-games have you play through in order to obtain various items. These items are usually very rare, with all the evolution items being exclusively obtainable within them. There are no limits to how much you can play them, but it does cost 100P per play

Salvage Treasure
This mini-game has you control a Starmie and collect various treasure chests as it slowly sinks to the bottom. Starmie is controlled using the motion sensing gyroscope on the Nintendo 3DS. Along the way, there will be various water currents that send you in various directions. If you hit a Chinchou however, you will lose a chest. Once at the bottom, you're able to open the chests to receive the items.

As you rank up the area, you get access to a variety of stores. These stores vary from having a Lottery, to allowing you to purchase items or recycling items. Each area can have four stores running at once, and the stores can then be upgraded. To build these stores, and upgrade them, you need to earn materials from completing various missions.

In addition to the stores, you can also open various gardens. These gardens allow you to grow various seeds and berries including Revive Seeds. Finally, there are also dojos for each type. These run in a similar way to the store in Post Town, but increase the level of the moves even further than before.

However, if you have an empty facility, a Drilbur may appear near there and will offer to dig treasure for you, giving you access to a Level 5 dungeon filled with rare items
