A guidance battle refers to a battle in which one party is not aiming to win, but rather has one party reasonably control the rhythm and guide the other party to notice its own shortcomings or make correct judgments.

Guidance battle is a common fighting method used by gym leaders to fight challengers, and it is also a required course for gym leaders.They will put pressure on the challenger just right, press forward step by step but maintain a balance in the battle, and use their own instructions to set an example for the challenger, thereby stimulating the challenger's thinking and judgment ability, allowing them to grow rapidly in the battle. "Winning" is not the goal, "making the other party grow" is the true meaning.

This type of fighting is usually only possible when one side is much stronger than the other.

The party being coached usually does not feel that the other party is engaging in a coaching battle during the battle, but instead feels that the battle is extremely intense.Only when they reflect carefully after "lucky defeat" can they discover the other party's true intentions.

Guided battles are different from ordinary battles in that they require special skills.Trainers who want to become gym owners must take courses related to guidance battles and pass the test to gain recognition.

Except for gym leaders or trainers who have this as their goal profession, few trainers will deliberately learn how to guide battles.

Conducting a guided battle is far less labor-intensive than a straightforward battle. It requires the guided party to increase attention at all times, judge the opponent's ability range and control the overall situation, and achieve the right sense of urgency; such techniques are too complicated, so even if the strength is very different, Free trainers usually use each other's true strength to fight against each other.

For inexperienced young trainers, guidance battles are the best way to quickly improve their strength - this is also the reason why young trainers whose families are dominated by strong men are often stronger than ordinary people. This experience accumulated since childhood and combat awareness are difficult to surpass by civilian trainers without guidance.

It is even more difficult to find a place for the guidance battle of the King of Champions.Although the four kings and champions of each region hold mentoring conferences regularly, it still takes a lot of energy and money to win these places.
