The Battle Frontier Logo

The Battle Frontier is a new area introduced in Pokémon Platinum that will feature five different battle facilities. This is the second Battle Frontier made in the Pokémon world, the other being in Hoenn. The Battle Frontier is located in Sinnoh replacing the Battle Park from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The Battle Factory and the Battle Tower are the only returning venues.

Battle Points will be awarded to the player for completing venues.


Battling venues

Battle Tower

Main article: Battle Tower (Sinnoh)
File:Platbtowerfactory.gif
The Battle Tower and Battle Factory

The Battle Tower is identical to the Battle Tower in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The player battles seven, random trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle with having their Level reduced to 50. After each battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely and have the option to continue, rest or retire. The Battle Tower has four modes:

  • Single Battle
  • Double Battle
  • Multi Battle
  • Wi-Fi Battle

Palmer is the Frontier Brain for the Battle Tower.

Battle Factory

The Battle Factory

The Battle Factory will be another battle venue at Sinnoh's Battle Frontier, having basically the same ruling as the Hoenn Battle Frontier's Battle Factory. The player will be able to choose three rental Pokémon of six and battle another trainer with rental Pokémon. It is held in a blue stadium that has an odd similarity to a Prinplup's head. Its color is also blue.

Neijiki is the Frontier Brain for the Battle Factory.

Battle Castle

The Battle Castle

In the Battle Castle, players must fight seven opponents in a row. Winning allows players to receive Castle Points, which allow them to buy items for use inside the Battle Castle or see future opponents.

Katorea is the Frontier Brain for the Battle Castle.

Battle Stage

File:Stage.png
The Battle Stage

The Battle Stage features a series of one on one battles. One Pokémon is entered, and then an opponent is chosen from a list of types. As a Trainer moves up through the facility, the levels go higher, making this the only facility to feature Pokémon above level 50.

Keito is the Frontier Brain for the Battle Stage.

As the only thing known about an opponent is one of the types of their Pokémon, the game can occasionally throw a curveball, such as if a player chooses to use an Template:Type2 against their Template:Type2 opponent-- only to find out that the opponent is using the Ground/Flying Gligar— immune to Electric moves.

Battle Roulette

Battles in the Battle Roulette are either 3 vs 3 (single) or 4 vs 4 (double). Trainers play roulette before each match, which assigns poison (bad) or berry (good) status to their Pokémon.

The various facilities.

Market area

A market area will be included within the Battle Frontier. The player can buy various goods with Battle Points won from the facilities. There is also a stall that sells scratchcards in exchange for BP. Using the scratchcards, the player may gamble for items such as Berries.

Entrance hall

The entrance to the Battle Frontier. There are many women that will guide and explain venues of the Battle Frontier.
