Unlocking Misty

Misty requires 200 Water Essences — the highest single-type essence cost of any currently available Champion. Water Essences drop from defeating any Water-type Pokémon.

The higher cost reflects Misty's broader power ceiling — Water has excellent offensive coverage and a massive species pool.

Playstyle

Misty rewards aggressive, fast-paced play. Her Speed stat boost and Accuracy +1 starting move upgrade mean her Pokémon hit first and hit reliably. Water covers Fire, Ground, and Rock — three of the most common defensive types — making her team easy to build around.

Her Signature Pokémon pool is the widest of any Champion, giving significant flexibility in starter selection.

Signature Pokémon

Misty's signature starter is Staryu, with the Chronos Gear Alt Build available from the start. Additional signatures unlock through the Skill Tree:

Horsea (level 8), Corsola (level 16), Luvdisc (level 24), Psyduck (level 32), Poliwag (level 40), Goldeen (level 47), Azurill (level 54), Togepi (level 61), Magikarp (level 68), Clauncher (level 75).

Skill Tree Highlights

Misty's Skill Tree runs to 90 levels.
