Gameplay[]
The purpose of Pokémon Tretta Lab is to assist in the cataloguing of Pokémon from the arcade game, Pokémon Tretta. The player can use the scanner to put up to two Tretta pucks in for scanning.
The game has three modes. In the Tretta Analyzer, the player can view any Pokémon scanned in from a Tretta puck, including its type and stats. In the Type Checker, the player can compare two Pokémon and see if they have a matching type combo. In Auto Battle, the player can scan in two Tretta pucks to automatically show them in battle.
