The '''Battle Frontier''' (Japanese: '''バトルフロンティア''' ''Battle Frontier'') is a special post-[[Pokémon League]] area in {{game|Emerald}} that features several [[battle facility|battle facilities]] where powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can {{pkmn|battle}} each other.


The Battle Frontier replaces the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} in its location south of {{rt|130|Hoenn}}, and likewise is only accessible by taking the [[S.S. Tidal]] from [[Lilycove City]] or [[Slateport City]]. Unlike the plain Battle Tower in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well, each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities.
The Battle Frontier replaces the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} in its location south of {{rt|130|Hoenn}}, and likewise is only accessible by taking the [[S.S. Tidal]] from [[Lilycove City]] or [[Slateport City]]. Unlike the plain Battle Tower in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Battle Frontier is composed of seven distinct battle facilities, each lead by a [[Frontier Brain]] who may be challenged after certain winning streaks have been made through their respective facility.


In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the [[Battle Resort]] exists where the Battle Frontier was in Pokémon Emerald. However, there are some other references to the Battle Frontier. In the [[Battle Maison]], a man mentions that the [[Pike Queen Lucy]] has been scouted and asks if anyone else meets [[Scott]]'s expectations. A remix of the music for the [[Hoenn]] [[Frontier Brain]]s is used as the battle theme for the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s.

Upon the player's first entry into Hoenn's Battle Frontier, their {{ga|Trainer Card}} will be upgraded into a Frontier Pass by a woman at the entrance. This pass holds the Trainer Card, as well as a small map of the Battle Frontier and the player's Battle Frontier records, which includes saved-up [[Battle Point]]s (BP) and any of the seven [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] the player has won. Only one {{pkmn|battle}} from any one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Pass, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

Upon winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, Battle Points will be awarded, usually in small amounts that gradually grow with each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver Symbol of that facility, as well as 10BP. Defeating the same Frontier Brain a second time, during the same streak, gives the player the golden Symbol and another 10BP. The Frontier Brain will only appear in 3-vs-3 single battle mode.

===Restrictions===
No two Pokémon entered can be of the same species or hold the same item. Items cannot be used from the [[Bag]] during battle (except in the Battle Pyramid, in which the player can use items from their Battle Bag). Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]], and any items gained or lost during the challenge are reverted in the end.
 
Regardless of which challenge is taken, the following Pokémon are not allowed:

Upon the player's first entry into Hoenn's Battle Frontier, their {{ga|Trainer Card}} will be upgraded into a Frontier Pass by a woman at the entrance. This pass holds the Trainer Card, as well as a small map of the Battle Frontier and the player's records with the Frontier. Saved-up [[Battle Point]]s, or BP, are listed, as are any of the seven [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] the player has won. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Pass, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.
 
On winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, Battle Points will be awarded, usually in small amounts, but gradually growing through each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver Symbol of that facility, as well as 10BP, while the second defeat of the same Brain gives the Symbol a golden color and the player another 10BP. The Frontier Brain will only appear in 3-vs-3 single battle mode.
 
No two Pokémon entered can hold the same item, though all items are allowed to be held (even if they would have no particular reason for being held). Items cannot be used from the [[Bag]] during battle. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. Any Pokémon can be entered for battle, except for the following Pokémon:

Returning from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is the most standard of the facilities. Like before, it features a standard 3-vs-3 single or 4-vs-4 Double Battle format, with straight runs of 7 Trainers that get progressively more powerful as the player goes on.
 
At the 35th and 70th battle, five and ten runs through, respectively, [[Salon Maiden Anabel]], the Frontier Brain, appears. If she is defeated, she awards the Ability Symbol.
 
All multiplayer functions found in Ruby and Sapphire are retained, as well. For a detailed description of these, see [[Battle Tower (Generation III)]]. Through a glitch, players may exploit the Battle Tower in Emerald to [[Cloning glitches|clone their Pokémon]].

In the '''Battle Palace''' (Japanese: '''バトルパレス''' ''Battle Palace''), Pokémon battle on their own, without any commands from their Trainers. This is very similar to the rules at the {{to|Verdanturf}} [[Battle Tent]]. The style of the Pokémon's battle depends on its [[Nature]], and this style may change when the Pokémon's HP falls low.
 
At a streak of 21 (three trips through) or 42 (six trips through), [[Palace Maven Spenser]] challenges the player. If defeated, he awards the Spirits Symbol.
 
====Battle style====
Depending on its Nature, a Pokémon may use different moves in the Battle Palace. All moves belong to one of three categories: Attack, Defense, or Support. The following is the list of attacks in each category:
* '''Attack''': Any move not listed under Defense or Support.
* '''Defense''': All moves that target the user. These moves include {{m|Acid Armor}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Amnesia}}, {{m|Aromatherapy}}, {{m|Barrier}}, {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Bulk Up}}, {{m|Calm Mind}}, {{m|Camouflage}}, {{m|Charge}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Cosmic Power}}, {{m|Defense Curl}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Dragon Dance}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Focus Energy}}, {{m|Follow Me}}, {{m|Growth}}, {{m|Grudge}}, {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Harden}}, {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Heal Bell}}, {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{m|Howl}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Meditate}}, {{m|Milk Drink}}, {{m|Minimize}}, {{m|Mist}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, {{m|Mud Sport}}, {{m|Perish Song}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Recycle}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Refresh}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Sharpen}}, {{m|Slack Off}}, {{m|Soft-Boiled|Softboiled}}, {{m|Splash}}, {{m|Stockpile}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Swallow}}, {{m|Swords Dance}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Tail Glow}}, {{m|Teleport}}, {{m|Water Sport}}, {{m|Wish}}, and {{m|Withdraw}}.
* '''Support''': All moves that do not deal damage and are not categorized under Defense, as well as {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. These include {{m|Assist}}, {{m|Attract}}, {{m|Block}}, {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Cotton Spore}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Fake Tears}}, {{m|Feather Dance|FeatherDance}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Flatter}}, {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Glare}}, {{m|Grass Whistle|GrassWhistle}}, {{m|Growl}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Lovely Kiss}}, {{m|Magic Coat}}, {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Memento}}, {{m|Metal Sound}}, {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Mind Reader}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Nature Power}}, {{m|Nightmare}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Pain Split}}, {{m|Poison Gas}}, {{m|Poison Powder|PoisonPowder}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Sand Attack|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Scary Face}}, {{m|Screech}}, {{m|Sing}}, {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Smokescreen|SmokeScreen}}, {{m|Snatch}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Spite}}, {{m|Spore}}, {{m|String Shot}}, {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{m|Supersonic}}, {{m|Swagger}}, {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}}, {{m|Tail Whip}}, {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Teeter Dance}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Torment}}, {{m|Toxic}}, {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and {{m|Yawn}}.
 
Each Nature has a set of ratios that determines how often a Pokémon with that Nature is likely to use Attack, Defense, or Support moves. These ratios change when the Pokémon's HP falls below 50%. During battle, a category is selected for a given turn, and a random attack in that category is chosen from the Pokémon's moveset; if no such attack exists, the Pokémon will "appear incapable of using its power" and skip its turn.
 
The following table lists each Nature and its move type preferences; it may be rearranged by clicking the boxes next to each column's heading.

}}
The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using [[rental Pokémon]] in battle. Before the player begins a battle, they will be told some information about the opponent's team, and may switch one of the Pokémon they have with them with one of the Pokémon used by the Trainer they just defeated. This is just like the [[Battle Tent]] in [[Slateport City]].
 
At the 21st and 42nd battle in a streak, three and six times through the Battle Factory, [[Factory Head Noland]] will challenge the player to a battle. Like all other Trainers in the facility, including the player, his Pokémon are completely random, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. If he is defeated, he awards the Knowledge Symbol.
 
====Battle style====
A Trainer's battle style is based on the moves that his or her Pokémon know. Certain moves fall under one of seven different categories, as shown below:

Depending on how many moves in each category the Trainer's Pokémon know, his or her battle style will be described differently. A move may be counted more than once if more than one Pokémon has it, and any attack not in any of the categories is not considered.
 
Each category has a threshold number. For the first three categories, this is three, while for the last four categories, it is two. If the Trainer's Pokémon know enough moves to cross the threshold in exactly one or two categories, then their battle style is described by whichever of those categories is farthest down on the table below. If they do not cross the threshold in any category, though, or if they cross it in more than three categories, then the Trainer's battle style is given a special description.

The '''Battle Pyramid''' (Japanese: '''バトルピラミッド''' ''Battle Pyramid'') is a 7-layer pyramid. Each level is shrouded in darkness, and can only be lit up by defeating opponents on the level. Trainers cannot take any items into the pyramid, and items found within can only be used while inside, being stored in a special item bag that is handed out to those who challenge it. Abilities like {{a|Run Away}} don't work here.
 
If the player is victorious, the bag stores said items for the next challenge. However, upon defeat the bag's contents return to one {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}} and one {{DL|Ether|Ether}}.
 
Wild Pokémon are encountered within the Battle Pyramid, with strategies differing depending on how many floors the player has ventured through. The tactics used by the wild Pokémon will progress as follows:

After passing through 21 floors (three passes/rounds through) and 70 floors (ten passes/rounds), [[Pyramid King Brandon]] appears at the top to challenge the player. If he is defeated, he awards the Brave Symbol.

The '''Battle Dome''' (Japanese: '''バトルドーム''' ''Battle Dome'') is a tournament between 16 Trainers.
 
Before each battle, the player can find out about their opponent, such as the Pokémon they use, their battle style, and how they train. Competitors can find out who was eliminated in each round by looking at the tournament bracket.
 
After the player has won five and ten championships, [[Dome Ace Tucker]] will challenge him or her. On his defeat, he awards the Tactics Symbol.
 
====Seeding====
The tournament bracket is organized as follows:
* '''Left Bracket''': 1 vs 9, 13 vs 5, 8 vs 16, 12 vs 4
* '''Right Bracket''': 3 vs 11, 15 vs 7, 6 vs 14, 10 vs 2
 
Seedings are determined by their ranking: the sum of the combined base stat totals of all Pokémon, plus 1/20 of the product of the number of different types represented by the Pokémon and the highest level among the Pokémon. If two Trainers tie in ranking, the higher internal Trainer number will win the tiebreaker; the player will always win the tiebreaker against any CPU Trainer, while Dome Ace Tucker will win any tiebreaker against other CPU Trainers. In the event of a tie battle, the higher seed advances and the lower seed is eliminated.
 
====Battle Style====
The battle style of a Trainer is solely determined by the [[effort values]] of all of the Trainer's Pokémon. A stat is considered to be emphasized if it makes up at least 30% of the team's EVs (taking [[Nature]] into account: for this calculation, EVs on a Pokémon with a beneficial Nature are worth 10% more, while EVs on a hindering Nature are worth 10% less), and neglected if there are no EVs in that stat among the entered Pokémon.
 
If there are any emphasized stats, they are shown (if there are three emphasized stats, only two are shown). Otherwise, if there are any neglected stats, they are shown (if there are more than two, only two are shown; the ones that are shown are further influenced by the number of entered Pokémon having a hindering Nature in the particular stat). Otherwise, the Trainer is said to "raise Pokémon in a well-balanced way."
 
====CPU Battles====
Note that the game does not simulate battles between two CPU Trainers. Instead, the outcome between two CPU Trainers is broken down as follows: each Trainer is scored based upon the sum of the following:
* The type affinity of damaging attacks: each attack dealing damage on the team is compared against each Pokémon on the opposing team. 4 points are awarded if the attack is normally effective, 12 if super-effective, and 20 if 4× super-effective. No points are awarded if the attack is resisted. 8 points are deducted if the attack is 4× resisted, and 16 points are deducted if the attack is ineffective. For the purposes of calculating this, {{type|Ground}} attacks are considered to be neutral against Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. Against Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}}, type matchups that are not super-effective do not award nor deduct points.
* The sum of the base stats of all Pokémon, divided by 10
* The seeding of the Trainer, minus 1
* A random value from 0 to 31
 
The Trainer with the higher score advances; if this is a tie, then the higher-seeded Trainer advances. During tournaments in which he may be challenged by the player, Tucker always appears as the #2 seeded contestant, and will always win his battles against CPU opponents.
 
====CPU Pokémon Selection====
To determine the Pokémon sent out by a CPU Trainer against the player, each of the CPU Trainer's three Pokémon is given a score. There are two scoring methods, which are chosen at random: the offensive method and defensive method. Both methods compare the type affinity of the Pokémon's damaging attacks against each of the three Pokémon on the player's team. In the offensive method, 2 points are awarded if the attack is normally effective, 4 if super-effective, and 8 if 4× super-effective. In the defensive method, 2 points are awarded if the attack is resisted, 4 if 4× resisted, and 8 if ineffective. 2 points are deducted if super-effective, and 4 are deducted if 4× super-effective. No points are awarded or deducted in any other scenario. For the purposes of this calculation, type matchups that are not super-effective against Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} are ignored (no points are awarded or deducted), and {{type|Ground}} attacks are considered to be neutral against Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.
 
If all three Pokémon tie in one method, the other method is used. If all three Pokémon tie in the second method, then two Pokémon and the order they appear are chosen at random. Otherwise, the two highest-scoring Pokémon is chosen (if there is a tie for the second selection, the second selection of Pokémon is chosen at random). There is a 40% chance that the CPU Trainer will lead off with the higher-scoring Pokémon, and a 60% chance of leading off with the lower-scoring Pokémon.

The '''Battle Arena''' (Japanese: '''バトルアリーナ''' ''Battle Arena'') pits two Pokémon against one another for three rounds. If both Pokémon last all three rounds, they are rated on how they battled in three aspects, and the Pokémon with the higher score wins, and the losing Pokémon leaves battle. If they somehow tie, both Pokémon leave battle. A knockout results in an automatic win for the Pokémon that is still standing.
 
Pokémon are scored on their mind, skill, and body. This is much like the [[Fallarbor Town]] [[Battle Tent]] rules. The Pokémon with the better rating in each category scores two points, while a tie will award one point to each Pokémon.
* '''Mind''' judges Pokémon on their offensive style. One point is awarded if an attack that deals damage is chosen for use (except {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, and {{m|Bide}}, which do not award points, and {{m|Fake Out}}, which deducts one point), and one point is deducted if {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Endure}} was chosen. All other moves do not award points. The Pokémon with the higher number of points wins the two points in the overall judgment.
* '''Skill''' judges Pokémon on accuracy. One point is awarded if an attack lands successfully, while two points are deducted if it does not, unless it was caused by {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Endure}}, or {{m|Fake Out}}, in which no points are deducted. The Pokémon with the higher number of points wins the two points in the overall judgment.
* '''Body''' judges the amount of HP remaining at the end of the third round compared to their amount at the start of the first. The Pokémon with the better ratio wins the two points in the overall judgment.
 
The Battle Arena is a series of single challenges, rather than a forced streak of some amount, and so after 28 wins and 56 wins, [[Arena Tycoon Greta]] appears to challenge the player. On her defeat, she awards the player with the Guts Symbol.

The '''Battle Pike''' (Japanese: '''バトルチューブ''' ''Battle Tube'') is a long pike in the design of a {{p|Seviper}}. Inside of it are 21 rooms, in seven sets of three. The player may choose any of the three in a set to continue through, and in each of the three, any of the following eight events may occur:
* Single battle: The Trainer walks up to the player and battles.
* Double battle: Two Trainers walk up to the player and battle.
* Single battle and healing: 3 Pokémon per side; winner's Pokémon are completely healed.
* Wild Pokémon: wild {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Dusclops}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Breloom}}, and {{p|Wobbuffet}} appear.
* No event: An NPC stands in the room but does nothing.
* Status effect: A surprise attack will inflict a status on one or more of a player's Pokémon. The status includes {{p|Kirlia}}'s {{status|burn}}, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|poison}}, or {{status|sleep}} and Dusclops's {{status|burn}} or {{status|freeze}}.

The Battle Frontier is owned and operated by [[Scott]], whom Ash first met in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.


===Battle Tower===
* The Battle Factory appeared in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''. It is located near [[Cerulean City]] and was the first facility Ash challenged.
[[File:Battle Tower anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Tower in the anime]]
* The Battle Arena appeared in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier!]]''. It is located near [[Saffron City]] and was the second facility Ash challenged.
In the anime, the Battle Tower was the sixth of the facilities Ash challenged, in the episodes ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''. After losing the first match, Ash redoubled his efforts and rechallenged Anabel, resulting in a win. This version of the Battle Tower is near [[Tohjo Falls]].
* The Battle Dome appeared in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]''. It is located south of [[Lavender Town]], possibly on {{rt|12|Kanto}}, and was the third facility Ash challenged.
* The Battle Pike appeared in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]''. It is located near [[Fuchsia City]] and was the fourth facility Ash challenged.
* The Battle Palace appeared in ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]''. It is located on [[Metallica Island]], near the [[Seafoam Islands]], and was the fifth facility Ash challenged.
* The Battle Tower appeared in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''. It is located near [[Cremini Town]] and was the sixth facility Ash challenged.
* The Battle Pyramid appeared in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', and ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. It was the last facility Ash challenged. Unlike the other facilities, this facility is mobile, being able to fly in order to keep its location a secret to all those who haven't defeated the six other facilities. It was initially located near [[Pewter City]] and was later also seen in [[Fennel Valley]]. It also reappeared in [[Snowpoint City]] during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.


For the Battle Tower in [[LaRousse City]], see {{DL|Battle Tower (Generation III)|In the anime|here}}.
The Trainers who earn a [[Symbol]] from each of the seven Frontier Brains are entered into the Battle Frontier [[Hall of Fame]] and can become Frontier Brains with their own [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], if they so choose.

Ash chose {{AP|Corphish}} for the match. Anabel had the ability to telepathically communicate with her Pokémon and give commands without saying a word. In the end, Alakazam easily defeated {{p|Corphish}}. Alakazam then went on to defeat [[Ash's Tauros]] before finally being defeated by his {{AP|Pikachu}}, but not before weakening it.


In ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]'', Ash had a rematch with Anabel. Again, she chose Alakazam as her first Pokémon. It went head to head again with Ash's Corphish once again, but this time with a little bit of luck as well as Ash's quick thinking, Alakazam was defeated by Corphish's {{m|Bubble Beam}}.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
A [[Pokédex holder]] named {{adv|Emerald}} challenged the Battle Frontier during its seven-day opening ceremony. Eventually it was revealed that he had been sent to the Battle Frontier by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in order to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} [[Pokémon category|Wish Pokémon]] {{adv|Jirachi}}, which he had predicted to be awake at the site during the same seven days that the Battle Frontier opening ceremony would take place. It turned out that an armored villain named [[Guile Hideout]] was also planning to catch Jirachi for his own evil ambitions, even stealing all the [[rental Pokémon]] from the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}} to be used against anyone getting in his way.


===Battle Factory===
During his Battle Factory challenge, Emerald rented a {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, which turned out to be on a higher [[level]] than the other rental Pokémon. This made Emerald realize that Sceptile was not a rental Pokémon to begin with, but had been snuck into the facility by someone. Thus, he decided to take it with him. During Emerald's [[Battle Dome]] challenge, {{adv|Ruby}} revealed that Sceptile was actually the very same {{p|Treecko}} that Emerald had once been supposed to receive from [[Professor Birch]].
[[File:Battle Factory anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Factory in the anime]]
In the anime, the Battle Factory is located near [[Cerulean City]], and was the first facility challenged by Ash. It appeared in the episodes ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''. The Frontier Brain Noland allows the challenger to choose one of his Pokémon for him to use in a one-on-one battle. According to Scott, he suggested that a sky roof would be added so that {{type|Flying}}s could use their full potential.


====Pokémon used in Battle Factory====
Despite Emerald and the Frontier Brains' best efforts, Jirachi was eventually caught by Guile Hideout. Using Jirachi's wish, he summoned a giant {{p|Kyogre}}-shaped mass of water to sink the Battle Frontier into the ocean. However, thanks to Emerald's own wish to Jirachi, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} were freed from their petrified states, and all ten Pokédex holders and their Pokémon united their strengths to defeat Guile Hideout and save the Battle Frontier. Shortly before Jirachi fell asleep again, [[Scott]] used the last one of its three wishes to summon thousands of people to visit the Battle Frontier.

Noland revealed that on his biplane's maiden voyage, Noland was surprised to find an Articuno flying beside him and it had trouble flying due to an injured wing. The Factory Head got the Pokémon to land on top of his plane and brought it down. Noland helped it to heal, and ever since then Articuno had been regularly visiting him.}}

===Pokémon Battle Frontier===
[[File:Battle Pyramid anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Pyramid in the anime]]
[[File:Battle Frontier CBF.png|thumb|200px|The Battle Frontier in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]]]]
In the anime, the Battle Pyramid was located near [[Pewter City]], but has hovercraft-like turbines installed in its underside, thus giving it the ability to move around anywhere. The location of the Battle Pyramid is only revealed to those who have defeated the other six Frontier Brains, and so it was the seventh and final facility challenged by Ash, between ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' and ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
The [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] manga featured a boy named {{OBP|Enta|CBF}} being invited to the Battle Frontier by Scott. Once there, he was tutored by [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] [[Rald]], and begun to challenge the Frontier Brains. In the end, he managed to defeat six of the seven facilities.
[[File:Battle Frontier PMRS.png|thumb|left|200px|The Battle Frontier in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
The manga concluded with Enta's battle with [[Anabel]], which ended in a draw. Despite Enta's challenge of the Frontier Brains being a major focus, [[Noland]], [[Greta]], and [[Brandon]] only appeared on the title page of [[CBF4|the fourth chapter]].


In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', the Battle Pyramid traveled to [[Snowpoint City]]. Here, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} battled and defeated [[Paul]]. In the following episodes, the Battle Pyramid was used in defending the [[Snowpoint Temple]].
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
 
The Battle Frontier appeared in ''[[PMRS35|The Selected Trainer?!]]'', where Scott invited {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon there after seeing {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} save a little kid from getting hit by a balance beam, although it eventually turned out he just wanted them to clean up the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}'s toilets.

After his first three Pokémon were defeated in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', Brandon sent out his newly-caught {{p|Regice}} against {{AP|Pikachu}}. Regice fought its hardest against the {{t|Electric}} type and looked poised to win, but Pikachu was able to whittle down its strength with {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}} to claim victory.
 
During the Full Battle against Paul, Regice battled {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and was able to defeat his {{p|Lairon}} with no trouble.}}
 
===Battle Dome===
[[File:Battle Dome anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Dome in the anime]]
In the anime, Ash challenged the Battle Dome, which is located near [[Lavender Town]], in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]'', as his third facility.

Swampert and Arcanine seemed like a perfect combination, taking advantage of Arcanine's speed and its defense as stated by {{an|Brock}} in the episode. In the [[Double Battle]], Swampert's main target was Corphish. Even though it looked bad for Ash, after Tucker used the Fusion of Fire and Water, Corphish and Swellow gained their fighting spirit and came back to win the match for Ash. Swampert was defeated by a devastating {{m|Aerial Ace}} from Swellow.
 
Swampert's known moves are {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Mud Shot}}, {{m|Dynamic Punch}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Water Pulse}}.}}

Arcanine's known moves are {{m|Extreme Speed}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, and {{m|Aerial Ace}}.}}
 
===Battle Arena===
[[File:Battle Arena anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Arena in the anime]]
In the anime, Ash challenged the Battle Arena, located near [[Saffron City]], as his second facility, in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier!]]''. Before the match begins, a special machine is used to determine if the match is 1-vs-1, 2-vs-2, or 3-vs-3.

Ash next used his {{AP|Snorlax}} against the Arm Thrust Pokémon. Despite having disadvantage in type, {{p|Snorlax}} was able to keep itself safe from Hariyama's attacks by using {{m|Harden}}. Eventually, Hariyama was knocked out with an {{m|Ice Punch}}.

Ash then commanded Snorlax to use {{m|Rest}}, and Greta told Medicham to attack Snorlax with repeated {{m|Focus Punch}}es in order to break the ice. Greta told Medicham to use {{m|High Jump Kick}} but Snorlax managed to dodge it, causing Medicham to take some damage. Snorlax then tried to attack it with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Medicham dodged it and hit it with {{m|Focus Punch}}.
 
Just when it seemed it was all over for Ash, he commanded Snorlax to use Hyper Beam on the ground which catapulted it into the air. Using its altitude to his advantage, Ash told it to attack with a full-on {{m|Body Slam}}, defeating Medicham and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Guts Symbol]].}}
 
===Battle Pike===

==In the manga==
[[File:Battle Frontier Hoenn Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Frontier in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Emerald}}, a [[Pokédex holder]] named {{adv|Emerald}} challenged the Battle Frontier during its seven day opening ceremony. It also turned out that he had been sent to the Battle Frontier by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in order to catch {{p|Jirachi}}, which he had predicted to be awaken during the exact same seven days that the Battle Frontier opening ceremony would take place. It turned out that an armored villain named [[Guile Hideout]] was also planning to catch Jirachi for his own evil ambitions, stealing all the [[rental Pokémon]] from the [[#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] to be used against anyone getting in his way.
 
During his Battle Factory challenge, Emerald rented a {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, which turned out to be on a higher level than the other rental Pokémon. This made Emerald realize that Sceptile was not a rental Pokémon to begin with, but had been snuck into the facility by someone. Thus, he decided to take it with him. During Emerald's [[#Battle Dome|Battle Dome]] challenge, {{adv|Ruby}} revealed that Sceptile was actually the very same {{p|Treecko}} that Emerald had once been supposed to obtain from [[Professor Birch]].
 
Despite Emerald and the Frontier Brains' best efforts, Jirachi was eventually caught by Guile Hideout. Using Jirachi's wish, he summoned a giant {{p|Kyogre}}-shaped mass of water to sink the Battle Frontier into the ocean. However, thanks to Emerald's own wish to Jirachi, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} were freed from their petrified states, and all ten Pokédex holders and their Pokémon united their strengths to defeat Guile Hideout and save the Battle Frontier. Shortly before Jirachi fell asleep again, [[Scott]] used the last of its three wishes to summon thousands of people to visit the Battle Frontier.
 
Accompanying Emerald during his Battle Frontier challenge were also reporter [[Todd Snap]], as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}, Emerald's close friends.
 
===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
The [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] manga featured a boy named {{OBP|Enta|CBF}} being invited to the Battle Frontier by Scott. Once there, he was tutored by [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] [[Rald]], and begun to challenge the Frontier Brains.
 
The manga concluded with Enta's battle with {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. Despite Enta's challenge of the Frontier Brains being a major focus, {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}, {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}, and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} didn't appear within the actual series, only appearing on the title page of the fourth chapter.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* A girl inside the Battle Pike says "I've completed the challenge 10 times now, but I've never had to battle a Trainer once." This information would be false, because after two straight wins and again at ten straight wins, she would have to battle Lucy. However, it should be noted that she did not state whether or not she beat the Battle Pike ten times ''in a row'', so this might not necessarily be an error.
* Despite having a big area of accessible [[Water tile|water]], this location has no [[wild Pokémon]] out of it at all. This is a rare occurrence for overworld locations.
* If, by [[cheating]], players enter through the Battle Palace's Single Battle Halls, the game will then randomly choose Lv. 50 or Open Level, and they will be able to battle Trainers with all six Pokémon they have in their [[party]]. When they battle the second Trainer, only the first three Pokémon in their party may be used, and their only move will be {{m|Sketch}}.
* It's possible for the Trainers fought in the Battle Frontier to have [[Shiny Pokémon]].
* All enemy Trainers in the Battle Frontier, except the Frontier Brains, greet the player character before battle with a string of six preset words, phrases, or characters from the [[easy chat system]]. After the battle, the enemy gives out another message of the same format which depends on whether they have won or lost. This is also the case for all enemies in the [[Battle Tent]]s or [[Trainer Hill]].
* All enemy Trainers in the Battle Frontier, except the Frontier Brains, greet the player character before battle with a string of up to six preset words, phrases, or characters from the [[easy chat system]]. After the battle, the enemy gives out another message of the same format which depends on whether they have won or lost. This is also the case for all enemies in the [[Battle Tent]]s or [[Trainer Hill]].
** However, this is not the case for the greetings of any [[Apprentice]]s that have been mentored by the player or other individuals. When greeting the player prior to battling in the Battle Tower, the Apprentice will typically state the name of his or her mentor, as well as his or her numerical position in the line of all Apprentices tutored by someone (such as being the 7th apprentice tutored by the player).

** Messages are also altered for enemy Trainers present within the Battle Pyramid. After a battle, they provide the player with contextual hints on certain aspects of the challenge, such as the location of a given floor's exit, the number of remaining Trainers to be fought on a floor, or the number of remaining items on a given floor.

* According to an interview with [[Junichi Masuda]], the Battle Frontier did not make a return in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} for the following reason: "Put simply, the Battle Frontier wasn't included because only a tiny number of players would have appreciated and used this game feature. Players get fed up more easily than they did in the past and aren't attracted by these 'demanding' challenges."<ref>[http://www.pokemonmillennium.net/notizie/2684-intervista-esclusiva-junichi-masuda-e-shigeru-ohmori-ci-svelano-alcune-curiosita-su-pokemon-rubino-omega-e-zaffiro-alpha/ INTERVISTA ESCLUSIVA: Junichi Masuda e Shigeru Ohmori ci svelano alcune curiosità su Pokémon Rubino Omega e Zaffiro Alpha! - Pokémon Millennium (Italian)]</ref>

The Battle Frontier (Japanese: バトルフロンティア Battle Frontier) is a special post-Pokémon League area in Pokémon Emerald that features several battle facilities where powerful Trainers can battle each other.

The Battle Frontier replaces the Battle Tower in its location south of Route 130, and likewise is only accessible by taking the S.S. Tidal from Lilycove City or Slateport City. Unlike the plain Battle Tower in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the Battle Frontier is composed of seven distinct battle facilities, each lead by a Frontier Brain who may be challenged after certain winning streaks have been made through their respective facility.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Battle Resort exists where the Battle Frontier was in Pokémon Emerald. However, there are some other references to the Battle Frontier. In the Battle Maison, a man mentions that the Pike Queen has been scouted and asks if anyone else meets Scott's expectations. A model of the Battle Tower is situated north of the Battle Maison, with a sign next to it dictating it as the first Battle Frontier facility to be built in the future. A remix of the music for the Hoenn Frontier Brains is used as the battle theme for the Battle Chatelaines.

The Battle Frontier is owned and operated by Scott, whom the player meets throughout the game in Pokémon Emerald. He resides in a house located between the Battle Dome and Battle Tower, and gives the player various rewards as they progress through the Battle Frontier.

Overview

In-game view of the Battle Frontier

Upon the player's first entry into Hoenn's Battle Frontier, their Trainer Card will be upgraded into a Frontier Pass by a woman at the entrance. This pass holds the Trainer Card, as well as a small map of the Battle Frontier and the player's Battle Frontier records, which includes saved-up Battle Points (BP) and any of the seven Frontier Symbols the player has won. Only one battle from any one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Pass, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

Upon winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, Battle Points will be awarded, usually in small amounts that gradually grow with each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver Symbol of that facility, as well as 10BP. Defeating the same Frontier Brain a second time, during the same streak, gives the player the golden Symbol and another 10BP. The Frontier Brain will only appear in 3-vs-3 single battle mode.

Restrictions

No two Pokémon entered can be of the same species or hold the same item. Items cannot be used from the Bag during battle (except in the Battle Pyramid, in which the player can use items from their Battle Bag). Battles conducted here do not award experience or money, and any items gained or lost during the challenge are reverted in the end.

Regardless of which challenge is taken, the following Pokémon are not allowed:

Other points of interest

Artisan Cave

Main article: Artisan Cave

The Artisan Cave is a long cave connecting one end of the Battle Frontier to the other. It starts near the Battle Palace and the exit is right next to the Battle Tower. The only wild Pokémon found inside is Smeargle.

House

There is a house next to the Battle Tower. Inside, there is a Trainer who wants to trade a Meowth for a Skitty.

Ranking Hall

The Ranking Hall

The Ranking Hall contains all of the records that the player has set at the Battle Frontier. There are three rooms. The one on the left contains records for the Battle Pike, Dome, and Factory, the one in the center has records for the Battle Tower, and the one on the right contains records for the Battle Palace, Pyramid, and Arena.

If the player mixes records with another Emerald game, Battle Frontier records will be copied over from the other game and compared.

Sudowoodo

A level 40 Sudowoodo is located in the southeast section of the Battle Frontier. Much like in Generation II, NPCs will talk about it as if it is a tree. However, when the player uses the Wailmer Pail on it, it will spring to life and battle the player. This Sudowoodo blocks the path to the Artisan Cave until it is battled. This is the only location a wild Sudowoodo can be battled in the Generation III handheld games.

Betting man

In the house south of the Battle Pyramid a man can be visited. After receiving at least 3 silver Symbols, he will ask the player to compete in a random facility, which changes daily. The player can give him 5, 10, or 15 Battle Points. If the player wins, the man will give him back twice the amount the player gave him. If the player loses, the Battle Points are lost.

Stats judge

Main article: Stats judge

In the house above the Pokémon Center is an old man who can judge one of the player's Pokémon's stats. He examines the Pokémon's IVs and gives feedback on how high or low they are. First he describes the Pokémon's "ability", which is based on the sum of all six of its IVs. Then he indicates which stat has the highest IV and what range it falls in. If 2 or more IVs are tied for the highest then he will choose one randomly.


Pokémon's ability IV total
Average 0 to 90
Better-than-average 91 to 120
Quite impressive 121 to 150
Wonderfully outstanding 151 to 186


Highest IV Range
Relatively good 0 to 15
Quite impressive 16 to 25
Outstanding 26 to 30
Flawless 31

In the anime

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

The locations of the first six Kanto Battle Frontier facilities in the anime

In the anime, this Battle Frontier, rather than being on one of Hoenn's many small islands, is spread across the Kanto region, presumably so as to reflect on the then-recent releases of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen as well as Emerald. Much like the Gyms do not have a requirement that Ash beats anyone besides the Gym Leader, Ash is not required to compete in any matches besides those against the Frontier Brain.

The Battle Frontier is owned and operated by Scott, whom Ash first met in The Scheme Team.

The Trainers who earn a Symbol from each of the seven Frontier Brains are entered into the Battle Frontier Hall of Fame and can become Frontier Brains with their own battle facilities, if they so choose. Even if the offer is turned down, the possibility to accept it remains open indefinitely.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

The Hoenn Battle Frontier in Pokémon Journeys: The Series

The proper Hoenn Battle Frontier appeared in Serving Up the Flute Cup!, where Ash and Goh traveled there to participate in the Battle Frontier Flute Cup, a small tournament with a set of flutes as its prize. There they met Hodge, a Trainer from Lavaridge Town who was also there to compete. Ash eventually emerged victorious and brought back the flutes to Cerise Laboratory. While on the island, Goh also caught a Taillow and three Wurmple.

In the manga

Ash & Pikachu

The Battle Frontier first appeared in Off To The Battle Frontier!!. Unlike the anime, only the Battle Factory, Battle Arena, and Battle Pike appeared.

The Battle Frontier in Pokémon Adventures

Emerald arc

A Pokédex holder named Emerald challenged the Battle Frontier during its seven-day opening ceremony. Eventually it was revealed that he had been sent to the Battle Frontier by Professor Oak in order to catch the Mythical Wish Pokémon Jirachi, which he had predicted to be awake at the site during the same seven days that the Battle Frontier opening ceremony would take place. It turned out that an armored villain named Guile Hideout was also planning to catch Jirachi for his own evil ambitions, even stealing all the rental Pokémon from the Battle Factory to be used against anyone getting in his way.

During his Battle Factory challenge, Emerald rented a Sceptile, which turned out to be on a higher level than the other rental Pokémon. This made Emerald realize that Sceptile was not a rental Pokémon to begin with, but had been snuck into the facility by someone. Thus, he decided to take it with him. During Emerald's Battle Dome challenge, Ruby revealed that Sceptile was actually the very same Treecko that Emerald had once been supposed to receive from Professor Birch.

Despite Emerald and the Frontier Brains' best efforts, Jirachi was eventually caught by Guile Hideout. Using Jirachi's wish, he summoned a giant Kyogre-shaped mass of water to sink the Battle Frontier into the ocean. However, thanks to Emerald's own wish to Jirachi, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver were freed from their petrified states, and all ten Pokédex holders and their Pokémon united their strengths to defeat Guile Hideout and save the Battle Frontier. Shortly before Jirachi fell asleep again, Scott used the last one of its three wishes to summon thousands of people to visit the Battle Frontier.

Accompanying Emerald during his Battle Frontier challenge were also reporter Todd Snap, as well as Latios and Latias, Emerald's close friends.

Pokémon Battle Frontier

The Battle Frontier in Pokémon Battle Frontier

The Pokémon Battle Frontier manga featured a boy named Enta being invited to the Battle Frontier by Scott. Once there, he was tutored by Pokémon League Champion Rald, and begun to challenge the Frontier Brains. In the end, he managed to defeat six of the seven facilities.

The Battle Frontier in Pokémon Pocket Monsters

The manga concluded with Enta's battle with Anabel, which ended in a draw. Despite Enta's challenge of the Frontier Brains being a major focus, Noland, Greta, and Brandon only appeared on the title page of the fourth chapter.

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

The Battle Frontier appeared in The Selected Trainer?!, where Scott invited Red and his Pokémon there after seeing Clefairy save a little kid from getting hit by a balance beam, although it eventually turned out he just wanted them to clean up the Battle Tower's toilets.

In the TCG

The EX Emerald expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game featured two Battle Frontier-related cards:

Card Type Rarity Expansion Set No.
Scott T Uncommon EX Emerald 84/106
Battle Frontier T Uncommon EX Emerald 75/106

Trivia

  • Despite having a big area of accessible water, this location has no wild Pokémon out of it at all. This is a rare occurrence for overworld locations.
  • It's possible for the Trainers fought in the Battle Frontier to have Shiny Pokémon.
  • All enemy Trainers in the Battle Frontier, except the Frontier Brains, greet the player character before battle with a string of up to six preset words, phrases, or characters from the easy chat system. After the battle, the enemy gives out another message of the same format which depends on whether they have won or lost. This is also the case for all enemies in the Battle Tents or Trainer Hill.
    • However, this is not the case for the greetings of any Apprentices that have been mentored by the player or other individuals. When greeting the player prior to battling in the Battle Tower, the Apprentice will typically state the name of his or her mentor, as well as his or her numerical position in the line of all Apprentices tutored by someone (such as being the 7th apprentice tutored by the player).
    • Messages are also altered for enemy Trainers present within the Battle Pyramid. After a battle, they provide the player with contextual hints on certain aspects of the challenge, such as the location of a given floor's exit, the number of remaining Trainers to be fought on a floor, or the number of remaining items on a given floor.
  • According to an interview with Junichi Masuda, the Battle Frontier did not make a return in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the following reason: "Put simply, the Battle Frontier wasn't included because only a tiny number of players would have appreciated and used this game feature. Players get fed up more easily than they did in the past and aren't attracted by these 'demanding' challenges."[1]
