Rematch

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it.

A rematch is a second battle against a Gym Leader or another notable opponent. This feature has appeared in Pokémon Emerald (as done before), Pokémon Platinum (In The Battleground) and Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver (In the Fighting Dojo).

In a rematch the opponent has different Pokémon, unless you are re-battling a legendary Pokémon. The different Pokémon species they use to battle with in their rematch may include species only available after the National Dex is acquired.

In side games

In the Ranger Games the Drowzee Guy will allow you to re-do a memorable capture. In the first game, this is the Legendary Beast battle. In the sequel, this is the Darkrai capture.

In the anime

In the anime Ash always has to re-battle at least one Gym Leader.

Trivia

Kanto is the only region that you cannot rematch in the main games of that region. However, you can rematch in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Kanto, and thus it's Gym Leaders, can be visited, and later Rematched at the Fighting Dojo
