New in Pokémon X and Y, the Roller Skates let you move faster, just like the Running Shoes or the bicycle…
However, movement is much more maneuverable, since you can move off the ground grid, giving you more control.
- Quick access:
- Getting the Roller Skates
- Five extra tricks
Getting the Roller Skates
You get the Roller Skates in Santalune City, after defeating the roller skater blocking the entrance to the Gym. Simply use the 3DS Circle Pad to get around with this new means of transport. The Roller Skates are faster than the Running Shoes, but they cannot be used inside buildings.
Rails are scattered all over Kalos. If you jump onto them and grind, they will take you to places that were previously out of reach, often with an item as a reward. Some of these rails have gaps that will make you fall if you are not fast enough. You also get around on Roller Skates in the Shalour City Gym, where all the Trainers are roller skaters.

Five extra tricks
You can perform five different tricks, detailed below. The last one is only available once you have unlocked the previous four:
- The U-turn Sprint: A skater teaches you this technique in Vert Plaza in Lumiose City. It gives you a temporary speed boost: push the stick in the direction opposite to your movement, then quickly push it back in the right direction.
- The Slalom: On South Boulevard, a girl standing next to an elevator teaches it to you. By pushing the stick gently, you will glide along gracefully.
- The 360: At the back of Café Slalom, a skater teaches you the 360. By making a circle with the stick as you jump over a ledge, you will spin in the air.
- The Backflip: Head to the spot in front of Café Ultimate on North Boulevard to learn it. It lets you jump while performing a U-turn Sprint or a Slalom.
- The Cosmic Flip: Go to the Lost Hotel and talk to the owner after unlocking the four previous moves. He will teach you the Cosmic Flip, an impressive trick: perform U-turn Sprints while jumping!
