Alpha Pokémon are large Pokémon with glowing red eyes that are incredibly aggressive. These creatures will chase trainers down and attack them if given a chance. Alphas can even summon other Pokémon to their side to aid them in battle. Players can capture Alpha Pokémon and recruit these creatures to their side if they defeat them in battle. Taking down these mighty foes won't be easy, but Alpha Pokémon will make invaluable partners for trainers who can beat them.

Not only can players recruit Alpha Pokémon as a reward for beating them, but the beasts may occasionally drop rare items, too. These rare items are sure to aid trainers who aim to complete the first PokéDex, so make sure to take on Alpha Pokémon to net these rewards if you're confident in your team.
