Fall City Capture Arena Guide

In Pokémon Ranger, there is an arena in Fall City where you must capture Pokémon for points.

The player must acquire a score of over 50,000 points in and has two minutes to do so. Please note, getting over 50,000 points takes a large amount of patience, practice, and skill. One can gain more time by drawing more circles around a specific Pokémon after the required amount has been fufilled.
