About Buddy Battles

Buddy Battles gives your studying a creature to fight for. You start by hatching a buddy from an egg, then take it down a path of five gyms, each one guarded by two trainers and a gym leader. Every battle move comes from a question pulled from your own material. Get it right and your buddy attacks. Get it wrong and the other side gets a free hit. There is no separate quiz screen to sit through first. The quiz is the fight.

Every buddy and every trainer has a type, and each type beats one other type in a simple circle: Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Rock, Rock beats Electric, Electric beats Water, and Water beats Fire. Before a battle you pick a team of three buddies, and you can see whether your types are strong or weak against the trainer you are about to face. Answer three questions correctly in a row and your buddy's Special move charges up, so a good streak pays off with a bigger hit on your next correct answer.

Hatching is its own small loop. Winning battles fills an egg meter, and a full meter turns into a brand-new egg to crack open. Hatch a buddy you already own and it turns into Treats instead, which level up the buddies already on your team. So every battle, win or lose, is feeding either a new buddy or a stronger one, and the Buddy Dex keeps a running count of how many species you have found.

The five gyms cover five different types, and clearing all five unlocks the Final Exam: three battles back to back with no healing in between, capped off by a trainer called the Examiner. Beat that run and you're named Champion, though rival trainers keep coming back with stronger teams for a rematch, so there is always another battle waiting once you reach the top.

Who Buddy Battles Is For

Students who want a light story wrapped around review, and anyone who likes collecting and leveling up characters more than watching a score go up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a regular quiz game?

There's no separate quiz screen. Every question you answer is a move in the battle itself: right answers make your buddy attack, wrong answers let the other side hit back. The battle only moves forward when you answer, so there's no way to skip the studying and still make progress.

What happens if my buddy faints?

A fainted buddy just rests until the battle is over. You pick your next buddy for a free swap, no penalty. Fainted buddies still earn half XP at the end of the fight, so a rough battle isn't wasted.

What's the point of buddy types?

Each type beats exactly one other type in a five-way circle: Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Rock, Rock beats Electric, Electric beats Water, Water beats Fire. Before a battle you can see which of your buddies are strong or weak against the trainer you're about to face, so picking your team of three is part of the strategy.

How do I get new buddies?

Winning battles fills an egg meter. Once it's full you earn a new egg to hatch. If the buddy that hatches is one you already have, it turns into Treats instead, which you can feed to your other buddies to help them level up faster.

What is the Final Exam?

It unlocks after you've beaten all five gyms. It's three battles in a row with no healing between them, ending with a trainer called the Examiner. Win that and you become Champion, though rival trainers keep training and coming back for rematches, so there's always another challenge waiting.
