Learn about renting Pokémon in Pokémon Stadium, including limitations and strategies for using rented Pokémon effectively in battles and cups.

In Pokémon Stadium, players have the option to rent Pokémon instead of using their own from the Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak. This is particularly useful for players who haven't trained a diverse team or are trying out different strategies. However, there are limitations to renting Pokémon.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you enter a cup (Petit Cup, Pika Cup, Poké Cup, or Prime Cup), you will be presented with the option to choose from your own Pokémon or to rent one.
  2. 2
    If you choose to rent, you will be shown a list of available Pokémon for that specific cup. The selection often includes Pokémon that are well-suited for the cup's rules and level restrictions.
  3. 3
    Select a Pokémon to add to your team for the duration of that cup.
  4. 4
    After completing the cup or losing, the rented Pokémon are no longer available. You will need to rent new ones if you wish to use them again in subsequent cups.
Tips
  • Renting is a great way to fill out your team if you are missing Pokémon or need specific types to counter opponents.
  • Pay attention to the level and type advantages of the rented Pokémon before selecting them.
  • While convenient, rented Pokémon cannot be trained or leveled up, so their stats are fixed.
  • It's generally more advantageous to use your own trained Pokémon if possible, as they can be customized with moves and have better stats from training.
  • Be aware that you cannot save or keep rented Pokémon. They are temporary assets for specific challenges.
