Hoverboards & Cosmetics

Fly the skies and style your trainer

🛹 Take to the Skies

Why walk when you can fly? Hoverboards let you soar above the world — skim over forests, cross lakes in seconds, and reach sky areas no walking trainer will ever see. Combine that with a full wardrobe of outfits, hats, auras and emotes, and your trainer becomes unmistakably yours.

🕹️ Hoverboard Controls

Flying is simple — three keys and you're airborne:

KeyAction
HToggle your hoverboard on / off
QAltitude up
EAltitude down

While hovering you move noticeably faster than on foot, and the higher you climb, the more of the map you can see at once. On mobile, the board toggle appears as an on-screen button alongside the joystick.

Hunting tip: cruise at medium altitude to scan large areas for outbreaks and rare spawns, then drop down with E the moment you spot something worth catching.

🚀 The 4-Tier Hoverboard Progression

There are four hoverboards, and you must buy them in order — each tier requires owning the previous one. Every tier flies higher and faster:

TierBoardPriceMax altitudeSpeed
1Sky Skimmer100 💎15×1.2
2Cloud Cruiser300 💎60×1.4
3Stratos Glide600 💎130×1.55
4Aureate Sovereign GOLD1,000 💎220×1.7

Why climb the tiers? Higher altitude = see more, travel faster, and reach sky areas that are simply inaccessible at lower tiers. The golden Aureate Sovereign at altitude 220 turns the entire world into your personal scenic flight.

The Sky Skimmer at 100 💎 is widely considered the single best first gem purchase in the game — the speed boost alone pays for itself in hunting efficiency. See the Economy guide for how to earn those first gems.

Skins are pure cosmetics — your altitude and speed stay the same, but you'll look incredible streaking across the sky.

🧭 Smart Spending Order

  1. Sky Skimmer (100 💎) — the best first purchase in the game, full stop.
  2. A cheap coin outfit + hat (Classic Trainer + Red Cap = 1,500 coins) so you stand out from day one.
  3. Upgrade boards as gems accumulate — Cloud Cruiser unlocks meaningfully higher exploration.
  4. Auras and emotes last — they're style, not power. Or earn the Champion set free-of-extra-cost through the Battle Pass.
Cosmetics never affect battle stats — PokeWorld is never pay-to-win in combat. Boards affect travel only, and the best looks (Champion outfit/aura) are earned by playing.
