In addition to that, we have added another listing for each Area detailling the special types that are suggested to bring into the course. If you bring a Pokémon of that type into the course, the amount of steps required for Pokémon is reduced by 25% so it's always best to plan the course you're going to enter based on the Pokémon you wish to train.
