Lumiose City restaurants

The restaurants of Lumiose City each allow the player to purchase dinner and will serve them various dishes to eat, with a side of Pokémon battles. Each course of the meal requires a specific amount of time to settle to be perfectly ready to be eaten, so the employee that brought out the food will challenge the player to a Pokémon battle to pass that time. The employee will tell the player exactly how many turns the battle should take to give the dish the perfect taste.

The courses and their battles all occur in a row, with the player given no opportunity to switch the positions of Pokémon or use items in between, but the player's entire party will automatically be healed between each battle. The Trainers will often use turn-wasting strategies involving moves like and, flinch-inducing, as well as evasion-increasing Abilities like , complicating the player's attempts to meet the turn requirement.

After battling through each course of the meal, the player will receive some number of an item as a reward. What item depends on which restaurant they are in (though all offer some type of valuable item), and how many depends on the number of the player's Pokémon that fainted during the meal and if the battles were won in the proper number of turns. For each faint or turn difference, the player will receive one less of the reward item than a perfect meal would have earned.

If the player finishes a meal type (Double, Triple, or Rotation) perfectly at a given restaurant, a ★ appears next to that meal in the restaurant, and the player will be able to give a tip of 10,000. When all meals are completed perfectly, the owner of the restaurant will start to greet the player like a frequent customer. In addition, as the player's style goes up, the restaurants will begin to offer a 10% discount.
