Boss Rush

Boss Rush is a game occasionally held during weekly events consisting of a series of bosses a player must defeat in succession in order to make it to the finish line.

The entrance to the Boss Rush Lobby is generally found in the Events Hub of the Delite Plaza, however it's only accessible when the respective weekly event takes place.

When entering the lobby, the player gets greeted by an Ampharos named Winstreak. The player receives 3 Event Tokens and a Boss Rush Pass, a single use pass that allows you into the challenge.
 * Winstreak: Ah, hello. You must be a challenger.
 * Winstreak: Have you ever heard of Boss Rush? No?
 * Winstreak: It's an event where you defeat several waves of bosses. Bring your strongest companions with you!
 * Winstreak: You have one chance of passing the entire challenge, and you will find Event Tokens along the way.
 * Winstreak: Now then, I shall hand you a Boss Rush Pass to get you started.
 * Winstreak has given [Player Name] one Boss Rush Pass!
 * Winstreak: And, of course, a few participation tokens. These can be spent at Ludicolo's Shop in Delite Plaza. As I said, you will find more along your Boss Rush run.
 * Winstreak has given [Player Name] 3 Event Tokens!
 * Winstreak: You can choose to run this event whenever you want to, until next Sunday at 22:00 Server Time.
 * Winstreak: Use the pass to get through the gate, but assemble a good team first. Otherwise, store the pass and run the event later this week.
 * Winstreak: Either way, I wish you luck, challenger. I hope you're as lucky as I am.

Rules
In order to enter the Boss Rush event, there are a few rules/restrictions the player must keep in mind:
 * The player can bring a full team of up to 4 Pokémon
 * All Pokémon will be set to level 30
 * All Pokémon will keep their current moves
 * Parties are not allowed

Once a player enters a boss map, the only way out is a warp which is blocked until the player defeats all standing bosses, or is themselves defeated in combat resulting in a loss.

There are seven sets of bosses the player must clear in order to reach the finish line. After each boss battle, the player will be able to completely heal up the surviving members of their team at the heal tiles in the checkpoint maps, which include an and. Every such checkpoint map alludes to the following boss via its scenery.

Trivia

 * Boss Rush stopped showing up in weekly events for nearly 3 years, until December 2019 when it finally made its return.
 * Boss Rush was permanently revamped for PMU's 10th anniversary month-long event, adding and changing several bosses, with NPCs and dungeon bosses being the opponents. It changed from being a race and instead is done solo by players.
