Battle styles[1] (also referred to as throwing styles[2]) are a mechanic from the core series Pokémon games that allows the player to customize the animation of sending out a Pokémon during battle, debuting in Pokémon Sun and Moon. They often mimic the animation used by a specific character in the series.

Generation VII

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Battle Styles were created by Gester,[1] who will teach them to the player at the Outer Cape of Malie City, after certain conditions have been met. He will also allow the player to edit their current battle style to whichever they want once unlocked. This will change both the player's idle pose during battle, as well as the animation when sending out a Pokémon during battle.

Generation IX

In the The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the player can donate BP to Blueberry Academy's Baseball Club in order to change their throwing style.[2] ALl throwing styles will have to be unlocked by spending BP. In order to change your BP style, the player will have to spend 10 BP.

Unlike in Generation VII, this does not influence the player's idle pose when in battle, only changing their throw animation.
