Super-Secret Basics
Capture the Flag!
If you opt to have some Secret Pals within your Secret Base, they’re not there just for you or other people to battle. Once per day (or twice at Platinum Rank) you’ll be able to make them use a certain power or skill to your benefit, and they will unlock more and more powers as you rank up.

- Fortune Teller: You will earn some kind of MAX O-Power, such as Bargain, Capture, Prize Money, and HP Recovery.

- Massage: This will raise the Happiness of the massaged Pokémon.
- Picking Up: You earn some kind of item: Elixir, Escape Rope, Full Restore, Heart Scale, Master Ball, Max Revive, PP Max, PP Up, Rare Candy, Revive, or Ultra Ball.
- Pick Up Stones: You can earn one of the evolutionary Stones or an Everstone.
- Search for Treasure: You can find some kind of item best sold for a sum of money.
- Training: The trained Pokémon will go up one level.
