POKEMON RANGER 2 FIELD MOVES
The fundamentals of Field Moves and clearing targets have not changed in Almia, but there are now new types of Field Moves, called Map Moves and Area Moves. These don't have specific targets that require being cleared. Instead, Map Moves can be used nearly anywhere, and Area Moves must be used at a specific location (and are almost all and almost exclusively used in the story). Rather than explaining all the differences, here's a list that outlines the new Field Moves.
Map Moves
| Recharge |
| Magneton |
| This heals the Styler's energy by ten times the power amount of the Pokemon. |
| Agility |
| Doduo |
| While on land and not in a cave or building, you can ride a Doduo to go faster. |
| Fly |
| Staraptor |
| Fly immediately to a selected location such as a city. |
| Teleport |
| Alakazam |
| Teleport out of a cave or similar area to the entrance. |
Area Moves
| Rain Dance |
| Blastoise |
| Use in order to cause rain from a vantage point. |
| Demist |
| Skarmory |
| This literally clears a mist or haze when necessary. |
| Flash |
| Electabuzz |
| Use to light up a dark area. This must be used first if you wish to use normal target clears. |
| Airlift |
| Drifloon |
| Float across a gap if you have enough of an air current. |
| Elevate |
| Drifblim |
| Use to go up one level in a cave or temple if there is a circular opening above (shown by light). |
| Stink |
| Skuntank |
| This stinks up the room immensely to provide both plot development and comic relief. |
| Sand Fill |
| Hippowdon |
| This is used to fill a hole with sand. |
| River Flow |
| Floatzel, Empoleon |
| Use this at a dock to ride the Pokemon on top of the water. You can only get off at another dock. Empoleon can also burst through small glaciers if it is going fast enough. |
| Magma Flow |
| Torkoal |
| Like River Flow, but with lava and no glaciers. |
| Swim |
| Mantine |
| Use underwater to swim over or cross deep trenches. |
| Dark Power |
| Darkrai |
| Apparently does something using "dark power" in a Wi-Fi downloaded Mission. |
