The Battleground (Japanese: しょうぶどころ Match Place) is a building owned by Buck that is located in the Survival Area of the Battle Zone, and only available in Pokémon Platinum. After the Stark Mountain subquest with Team Galactic, players can battle Gym Leaders and Tag Battle partners from earlier in the game. Up to four of these Trainers appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground will change the Trainers who are inside.

According to Buck's grandfather, only Gym Leaders and those vouched for by them are allowed here. If the player attempts to enter before completing the Stark Mountain subquest, interacting with the door will produce the message: The door is shut tight. "Members only" is printed on it.

Trivia

  • Two groups of Trainers can be battled on one day by saving inside the Battleground the day before. The player can battle the Trainers, walk out, and walk back in to find that the Trainers have changed.
    • If some of the Trainers have not changed, those Trainers will not be able to be rebattled.
  • During the time Gym Leaders appear here, they can still be found in their respective Gyms and possibly also the Villa. This is probably due to the Battleground not being part of the main storyline; the game randomly determines which four characters can be challenged on any particular day.
  • Candice is the only Trainer to use Generation IV Pokémon only (including cross-gen evolutions).
  • Maylene, Crasher Wake, and Marley are the only Trainers to use Pokémon from all four then-released generations.
  • All of the Trainers in the Battleground have Pokémon between levels 61 and 65, except for Maylene, whose Pokémon are between levels 62 and 66.

    • As a result, Maylene also offers more prize money than any other Trainer in the Battleground: when the player defeats the other Trainers, he/she receives $7800; however, beating Maylene earns the player $7920.
  • When both Roark and Byron appear at the same time, their after-battle dialog changes from what it normally would be; Roark tells the player that when he became a Gym Leader, he realized how great a Trainer his dad is, but that he would never admit it in front of his father.
