=={{MS|700|Sylveon}} My History with Pokémon==
I’ve been a part of the [[Pokémon|Pokémon fandom]] since around 2007 when I was only 7 years old and watching the anime. This is when I grew into Pokémon and I started to research basic things like type advantages and stab. This grew into a passion and I was trying to learn everything I could. The first game I played was [[Pokémon White]] and I chose Snivy as my starter on the {{wp|Nintendo 3DS}}. I played Pokémon games on {{wp|Game Boy Advance|GBA}} and {{wp|Game Boy}} {{wp|Emulator|emulators}} before I got my 3DS. I watch the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] regularly - I’ve watched every episode and I watch some again and again.
==[[File:Bulbagarden logo.png|26px]] Bulbagarden==
I’ve been using [[Bulbapedia]] and [[Bulbanews]] since 2011 but never made accounts on it. I only recently made accounts when I applied to be a News Writer for Bulbanews at the end of August 2017. The first article I wrote was about the [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] guidebook. I became an official News Writer on the 23rd January 2018. I am also contributing to Project Anime on Bulbapedia and helping mainly with plot stubs and missing information.

On April 15, 2018, I became a moderator on the [[Bulbagarden forums]].

Since November 2018, I have retired from both roles.

==Blurb==

Our heroes have made it through the Ultra Wormhole, but when they find the captured Lusamine, they’re shocked to find she wants nothing to do with them! With an Ultra Beast controlling her mind, it’s up to Lillie, Ash, and friends to rescue her. Their Pokémon spring into action—but so do Lusamine’s Pokémon, who are also under the Ultra Beast’s control. Lillie gathers her courage and reaches out to Clefable, recounting the fun they had together in years past. Her reassuring persistence pays off, and Clefable breaks free of the Ultra Beast’s control. Meanwhile, riding on Solgaleo’s back, Ash presses on to find Lusamine—and the Ultra Beast.

==Plot==
{{an|Lillie}} recalls the events of the [[SM052|previous episode]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} arrive in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]]. They all notice multiple {{p|Nihilego}} but [[Lusamine]] is nowhere to be seen.

[[Professor Kukui]] and [[Professor Burnet]] set up some equipment to read the energy and activity of the Ultra Wormhole. Burnet shoots a marker so they don't get lost on the way back. Team Rocket want to leave but {{p|Bewear}} grabs them and makes them stay.

The gang release all of their Pokémon. They notice Lusamine but they see that Lusamine has fused with Nihilego. Lillie, [[Gladion]] and Ash run after Nihilego. Lusamine blocks their path with rocks. Gladion's {{p|Umbreon}} uses {{m|Dark Pulse}} to break the rocks. Lusamine tells the gang to leave and leaves, going to the next island. The gang jumps the rocks to get to the next island. {{p|Vulpix|Snowy}} uses {{m|Powder Snow}} but Lusamine creates a fortress with rocks. Lusamine leaves and the gang try to break the rocks. {{p|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{p|Turtonator}} uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{p|Marowak}} uses {{m|Bonemerang}} but the rocks don't break. Gladion's {{p|Lycanroc}} uses {{m|Stone Edge}} but the rock still doesn't break. {{p|Solgaleo}} uses {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} and breaks through the rocks.

Lusamine sends out {{p|Salazzle}} and Rotom Dex reads out its Pokédex entry. Salazzle uses {{m|Sludge Wave}} and Turtonator uses Flamethrower. Lusamine leaves and [[Kiawe]] decides to stay and deal with Salazzle. Turtonator uses {{m|Dragon Tail}} and Marowak uses {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The gang gets on Solgaleo to catch up to Lusamine.

Lusamine sends out {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Lilligant}} and {{p|Mismagius}}. Milotic uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} and Mismagius uses Thunderbolt. {{p|Steenee}} uses {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{p|Popplio}} uses {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Lilligant counters with {{m|Petal Dance}}. Mismagius uses Thunderbolt and {{p|Togedemaru}} absorbs the electricity. Rotom Dex stays with [[Lana]], [[Mallow]] and [[Sophocles]]. Ash, Gladion and Lillie leave to catch up with Lusamine. Popplio uses Bubble Beam and Steenee uses {{m|Double Slap}} to battle Miloitic's {{m|Aqua Tail}}. Lilligant uses {{m|Teeter Dance}} but then {{p|Litten}} uses {{m|Fire Fang}} and Rowlet kicks Lilligant. Rowlet gets attracted by Lilligant's {{m|Sweet Scent}}. Meanwhile, Kiawe uses {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} against Salazzle and it faints.

Lusamine then sends out {{p|Absol}} and Gladion decides to stay and tells Ash and Lillie to go ahead. Absol uses {{m|Psycho Cut}} and Umbreon uses {{m|Dark Pulse}}. Lusamine leaves. Absol uses {{m|Ice Beam}} and freezes {{p|Silvally}}'s legs. Absol uses {{m|Mean Look}} on Umbreon and Lycanroc.

Lusamine sends out {{p|Clefable}} and then Lusamine leaves, Lillie stays to battle Clefable. Clefable uses {{m|Moonblast}} and Lycanroc uses {{m|Accelerock}}. Clefable uses {{m|Giga Impact}} and Lycanroc returns with Accelerock. Snowy uses Powder Snow and Clefable uses Giga Impact. Lyncaroc uses {{m|Rock Throw}}. Lillie shows Clefable the {{p|Clefairy}} doll and walks towards Clefable. Clefable uses Moonblast and Lycanroc uses Rock Throw to defend Lillie. Lillie makes Clefable remember the memories of the doll. Clefable starts to use Giga Impact and then Lillie hugs Clefable. Clefable then remembers everything and snaps out of the control of Nihielgo.

Ash, Pikachu, and Solgaleo catch up to Lusamine.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}}, {{ashcl}}, and [[Gladion]] arrive in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] and find [[Lusamine]] there, only to discover she has fused with {{p|Nihilego}}.
* [[Kiawe's Marowak]] is revealed to know {{m|Bonemerang}}.
* [[Nebby]] uses {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} for the first time.
* Ash and his friends battle Lusamine.
** Lusamine is revealed to own a {{p|Salazzle}}, a {{p|Milotic}}, a {{p|Lilligant}}, a {{p|Mismagius}}, and an {{p|Absol}}.
** {{an|Kiawe}} splits from the group to battle Lusamine's Salazzle and wins.
** {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Mallow}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}, along with {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{AP|Litten}}, split from the group to battle Lusamine's Milotic, Lilligant, and Mismagius.
** Gladion splits from the group to battle Lusamine's Absol.
** {{an|Lillie}}, along with {{AP|Lycanroc}}, split from the group to battle Lusamine's {{p|Clefable}} and free her from Nihilego's control.

==Blurb==

Our heroes are all gathered at the Altar of the Sunne, along with all four of Alola’s Island Guardians. Lillie and Gladion ask the Island Guardians for help to rescue their mother, Lusamine, who has been taken through an Ultra Wormhole by a mysterious Ultra Beast. After Tapu Koko and the others perform a ritual, little Nebby evolves into the mighty Solgaleo—one of the Legendary Pokémon of Alola!

At Solgaleo’s invitation, the Pokémon School students climb onto its back. With the help of a new Z-Move, Solgaleo opens an Ultra Wormhole and carries them through, off to rescue Lusamine from the Ultra Beast!

==Plot==
{{an|Lillie}} recalls the events of the previous episode. {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} wonder why all the [[Guardian deities|Island Guardians]] appeared at the [[Altar of the Sunne|Altar]]. The gang asks the Tapus for help to meet Solgaleo at the Altar and explain the situation with Lusamine. Then, the Tapus blend all 4 of their [[Terrain]] moves and show the dream Ash had. {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} entrusted [[Nebby]] with the Tapus who then gave Nebby to Ash.

{{p|Rowlet}} frantically comes out of Ash's backpack and Ash hands {{p|Cosmoem}} to {{p|Tapu Koko}}. {{p|Tapu Lele}} and {{p|Tapu Fini}} dance around Cosmoem. [[Gladion]] gets angry at their progress but they wait for the Tapus to complete their ritual. [[Professor Kukui]] receives a phone call and has to leave to get [[Professor Burnet]]. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are seen climbing a cliff to get to the Altar and once there they try to get Proto {{p|Koffing}} and the Tapus. Burnet and {{p|Munchlax}} are facing {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}. Kukui arrives and uses his {{p|Braviary}}. Braviary uses {{m|Brave Bird}} which scares all of them away. [[James]] positions his net gun when {{p|Bewear}} gets in the way and takes them to the cliff near the Altar.

The Tapus stand on each of their plinths and that lights up the Altar. A light beam creates a bubble around Nebby and it evolves into Solgaleo. Rotom Dex updates his database and frantically takes pictures. Team Rocket realises it is Solgaleo and not Proto Koffing. Lillie touches Solgaleo and notices Solgaleo's warmth and the power of the Sun. Ash gives Solgaleo Star Candy. The rest of the gang and the Pokemon hug Solgaleo.

Lillie asks Solgaleo wheteher it can open a [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Gladion reiterates this. Solgaleo gives Ash a [[Z-Crystal]] but it doesn't fit in Ash's [[Z-Ring]]. Then, Tapu Koko takes Ash's Z-Ring and the 4 Tapus do a dance and it changes the Z-Ring so the Z-Crystal can fit. Ash and the gang get on Solgaleo and then Ash uses the Z-Move. Ash copies Tapu Koko's actions and Solgaleo flies and goes through the Ultra Wormhole.

Kukui and Burnet make it to the Altar but they missed Ash and the gang who just went into the Wormhole.
==Major events==

* [[Professor Kukui]] is revealed to own a {{p|Braviary}}.
* [[Nebby]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Solgaleo}} and learns {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}.

==Blurb==

Our heroes visit Aether Paradise, part of the Aether Foundation run by Lillie’s mother, Lusamine. An impressive variety of Pokémon live in the conservation area, including a group of Ditto who need their shots! Professor Burnet recruits Ash and friends to help with the vaccinations while Lusamine is busy on the phone, but one of the Ditto escapes and leads our heroes on a merry chase as it keeps transforming. They eventually catch it when it disguises itself as Snowy—and Lillie realizes she can’t touch it!

Meanwhile, the Team Rocket trio has scored jobs at Aether Paradise, and they’re hot on Nebby’s trail when they stumble into Faba’s mysterious laboratory…

==Plot==
{{an|Lillie}} writes in her diary about the events of the [[SM045|previous episode]] where [[Nebby]] {{m|Teleport|teleported}} everyone. The next day, {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} are on a boat heading to [[Aether Paradise]]. They arrive and are greeted by [[Wicke]] and [[Faba]] alongside a disguised {{TRT}}. Faba annoys Lillie before inquiring about Nebby and goes to grab it but fails when Nebby teleports away. Faba and Wicke take them to [[Lusamine]] as Team Rocket recall being hired by Faba after he took an interest in {{MTR}}. They plan on stealing all of the Pokémon including {{AP|Pikachu}} and Nebby. They arrive at Lusamine's home where she greets them only to be interrupted by a phone call.

After the phone call, Ash and the gang are served food by Team Rocket much the trio's disappointment. Lusamine finishes her work and chats with Lillie. Lillie isn't happy with her mother as another phone call interrupts them. Having had enough, Lillie decides to give everyone a tour herself. Faba follows them in pursuit of Nebby. Wicke and Team Rocket accompany them. They arrive in the conservation area and the gang comment on the size of the area and the variety of Pokémon. Looking around, they watch as [[Professor Burnet]] emerges from the water with her {{p|Munchlax}}. She was checking the water for the conservation area Pokémon.

The tour continues as Wicke and Professor Burnet explain the history of the [[Aether Foundation]]. Nebby leaves Ash's backpack and Team Rocket make plans to capture Nebby. They head to a small building where a group of {{p|Ditto}} reside. They're kept isolated to avoid them {{m|Transform|transforming}} into other Pokémon that are in the conservation area. They go inside where the gang helps give the Ditto their vaccinations. Professor Burnet give the Ditto their vaccinations but the final Ditto jumps out of Lillie's hands and escapes outside. Outside, Team Rocket, believing Nebby to be a form of {{p|Koffing}}, are pulling around a huge bag of trash in an attempt to lure Nebby to them. Lillie apologizes for not stopping Ditto from getting away as they suspect Ditto may have transformed into another Pokémon.

At that moment, they notice a second {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} and realize that Ditto has transformed. Ditto disappears among the other Pokémon, leading the others to chase it, using Ditto's specific eyes to help identify it. They soon confront Ditto disguised as a {{p|Psyduck}} before it turns into [[Snowy]] but Ash manages to catch it quickly. Ditto finally receives its vaccination as Wicke and Professor Burnet discuss the aims of the Aether Foundation. Lusamine arrives and starts to embarrass Lillie about managing to find and capture the Ditto before her phone rings and she leaves. Faba heads off, worried that Lillie might start recalling memories and which would cause him problems. Team Rocket continue their search for Nebby down in the laboratory area and spot an open door and head in. They find pictures of {{p|Type: Null}}. Meanwhile, Nebby appears in front of Team Rocket before quickly disappearing after they attempt to catch it. Faba confronts them, unhappy at their presence in the restricted area. They all decide to agree that they saw nothing.

==Blurb==

The Pokémon School class is sculpting with clay today! But while our heroes muse about various Pokémon and places, they disappear one by one—first appearing at the scenes of their musings, then reappearing back at school! They soon realize Nebby had used Teleport to take them to the places and Pokémon they were thinking about.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is determined to catch Nebby. They succeed, but thanks to Teleport, Bewear carries the trio off...and Nebby makes its way back to Ash—all by itself! After Ash and Pikachu visit the places the rest of the class saw earlier, one thing becomes obvious: Nebby is growing up!

==Plot==
{{an|Lillie}} writes in her diary the events of the [[SM044|previous episode]]. At [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, {{Ash}} provides his Pokémon with breakfast before checking on [[Nebby]]. Ash and Professor Kukui head to the [[Pokémon School]] with {{AP|Rowlet}} and Nebby in Ash's backpack. {{TRT}} have set up their truck outside the school in an attempt to gain more customers, as [[Jessie]] finishes a call with [[Matori]]. Students pass them by but Ash runs up to the truck to buy the [[malasada]] when Team Rocket spot Nebby. Ash heads into school as [[James]] suspects Nebby is a pre-evolved form of {{p|Koffing}} which he names proto-Koffing and make plans to catch it. In the classroom, Ash and {{ashcl}} are working with clay to sculpt their partners. Their attempts start with mixed results as Nebby starts to {{m|Teleport}} them to various locations and back to the school. They soon work out what Nebby is doing as Nebby approaches Lillie only for Nebby to fall asleep.

Over lunch, the class discuss what happened and realize that they were sent to somewhere they were thinking of. Ash picks Nebby up which then starts crying and they attempt to make faces to calm it down but only Lillie succeeds. Nebby suddenly teleports Ash away to a {{an|Jigglypuff}} who starts singing, putting them to sleep. Back at the school, the others head out to search for Ash when he doesn't return. Jigglypuff stops singing and sees Ash asleep and in turn scribbles on their faces before leaving. Waking up, Nebby starts teleporting Ash to various places before remembering Team Rocket. Down on the beach, Jessie lets out her annoyance towards Matori before discussing plans to capture Nebby. Nebby teleports Ash to their location and they announce their plans to take Nebby as Jessie brings out {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. James comes up with a plan and they agree to fight fair as James and {{MTR}} walk off with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.

Ash and Jessie square off against each other and a battle begins. After a few attacks, they start walking around in a circle where Ash finds himself blinded by the sun, allowing Team Rocket to capture Nebby. Team Rocket prepare themselves for the arrival of {{an|Bewear}} only for Nebby to teleport them to Bewear when Bewear doesn't appear. Bewear takes Team Rocket into its den. Nebby returns to Ash when it senses Ash calling to it. Nebby subsequently falls asleep as Ash is reunited with his classmates. Nebby soon wakes up and teleports everyone to the top of the school.

==Blurb==

After dreaming that he made a promise to the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala, Ash has a hard time waking up. On his way to school, he’s sidetracked by Tapu Koko, who guides him to a strange little Pokémon that looks like a cloud of stars. Lillie nicknames it Nebby, and Ash remembers his dream: he promised to take care of it!

This attracts the attention of Lillie’s mother, Lusamine, the head of the Aether Foundation. She and her colleagues come to meet Nebby and offer to take care of (and research) this unknown Pokémon. But Ash is resolute in his promise, so Nebby’s identity is a mystery for now!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} find themselves in mountains surrounded by fog. They watch, as in the sky, two lights appear and {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} emerge. The two Pokémon looked down at Ash who understands and makes a promise. They disappear before emitting a beam of light where [[Nebby]] is formed. The [[Guardian deities]] sense Nebby's arrival as [[Gladion]] tries to calm his {{DL|Gladion|Silvally|Type: Null}} down. Gladion soon realizes that an [[Ultra Beast]] has appeared. At [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, {{Rotom}} is trying to wake Ash and Pikachu up but they're still sleeping. With help from {{AP|Litten}}, Ash and Pikachu eventually get up. Ash starts to remember the dream he had where he had made a promise to Solgaleo and Lunala.

During breakfast, they watch as the "Alola Woman of the Year" award is given to [[Professor Burnet]]. Professor Kukui explains that her research is best known on [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]]. At the [[Altar of the Sunne]], Professor Burnet, [[Lusamine]], [[Wicke]] and [[Faba]] are examining the ruins where Professor Burnet had discovered a spike in energy readings from an Ultra Beast. Faba suspects this might have been an equipment malfunction which is put down to jealousy. They head off to do more research. Ash, Pikachu, and Rotom are on their way to the [[Pokémon School]] when they come across {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}} who leads them to Nebby, sleeping in the forest. Ash recognizes Nebby from his dream and remembers his promise. Rotom has no data on Nebby.

At school, Professor Kukui greets the class and notices that Ash has yet to arrive. Ash arrives at that moment and shows Professor Kukui and {{ashcl}} Nebby. They watch Nebby and agree to do what they can to research it as {{an|Lillie}} gives it the [[nickname]] Nebby. Nebby starts crying leading everyone to attempt to calm it down and {{an|Mallow}} soon calms it down. They try and find out what Nebby likes to eat and discover that Nebby likes star candy. At [[Aether Paradise]], Lusamine is alerted to a detection of an Ultra Beast's aura and they head to [[Melemele Island]]. Ash and Lillie arrive back at Professor Kukui's house and learn they have guests who want to see them and Nebby.

Inside, Lusamine greets Lillie and embarrasses her by treating her like a baby. Lillie isn't pleased to see her and is annoyed at her evolving {{p|Clefairy}} into {{p|Clefable}}. Professor Kukui introduces Ash to Professor Burnet, Faba and then Lusamine asks to be introduced to Nebby. Professor Burnet brings up images of the Guardian deities and Ultra Beasts and explains the legend surrounding them. They believe Nebby to be an Ultra Beast. They detected a spike in the aura's power and brings up an image of the Altar of the Sunne which Ash recognizes from his dream and explains what happened. Faba doesn't believe this as Lusamine asks Ash to let them look after Nebby, but remembering his promise, Ash wants to look after Nebby himself. Faba tries to prevent Ash from looking after Nebby but Lillie and Professor Kukui explain Ash's past with Tapu Koko and Lusamine agrees to let him look after Nebby.

==Biology==
Shiftry is a bipedal, portly Pokémon that appears to be made of wood. A shaggy white mane covers most of its face and trails down its back. Long pointed ears poke out the top of its mane, and it has a long, pointed nose and a large mouth with teeth that are usually bared. Its eyes are yellow with black sclerae. This Pokémon's feet resemble Japanese {{wp|Geta (footwear)|tengu-geta}}. Three broad leaves with brown spokes form each of its hands, and are used to create powerful winds close to 100 feet (30 meters) per second in speed. A female will have smaller leaves than the male.

Shiftry is a wicked and mysterious Pokémon that lives atop ancient trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|deep forests}}.

The '''Ultra Recon Squad''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラ{{tt|調査隊|ちょうさたい}}''' ''Ultra Reconnaissance Team'') is an organization that came to the [[Alola]] region from the [[Ultra Megalopolis]], a world beyond an [[Ultra Wormhole]].

==In the games==
===Role===
The Ultra Recon Squad appears in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Depending on the game, a different pair will play a central role while the other two only appear near the end of the game's story. In Pokémon Ultra Sun, [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] will play the central role while in Pokémon Ultra Moon, it will be [[Phyco]] and [[Soliera]]. Their goals also differ depending on the version of the game: Dulse and Zossie focus on finding out how to stop {{p|Necrozma}}, while Soliera and Phyco focus on how to use Necrozma's power.

The Ultra Recon Squad member Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} use a {{p|Furfrou}} in their first battle and the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Poipole}} in all subsequent battles.

The Ultra Recon Squad are first seen assisting a pair of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s in trying to prevent [[Lillie]] from escaping the [[Aether Paradise]] with [[Nebby]], only to witness Nebby teleporting itself and Lillie away to another location. They are then seen in [[Iki Town]] as the player is heading over to the festival, talking about what the people of [[Alola]] are celebrating about. After the player defeats [[Hau]], they start commentating on the battle and how they are going to use the content of [[Alola]] to stop the "Blinding One".

The second encounter happens when the player enters the second half {{rt|2|Alola}}. Here, they investigate the "Blinding One" energy signature they detect nearby. They are later seen after the player complete [[Ilima]]'s [[Island challenge|trial]], here they share their curiosity to the [[Z-Crystal]]s and the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]]. They surprised to learn about the [[Poké Ball]]s that the player has before revealing their investigation on Z-Crystals before moving on.

The third encounter with the Ultra Reacon Squad happens after the player finds Nebby in [[Seaward Cave]]. Here they explain that they are searching for someone powerful enough to protect the "Blinding One", while also mentioning they have been exploring the concepts of [[Poké Ball]]s. So using the {{p|Furfrou}} they caught, Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} challenges the player to a fight. Upon losing to the player, they will then mention that {{p|Cosmog}} is known to create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, which brings [[Ultra Beasts|danger]] into the world, but is measured that the [[Alola]]n people will not make it happen. Before leaving, the Ultra Recon Squad then declare they will leave Lillie and Nebby alone as long as the Pokémon doesn't open an portal to [[Megalo Tower]].

The fourth encounter occurs in [[Paniola Ranch]] after the player scares away the {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocking the path to {{rt|6|Alola}}. Here, they express surprise that Sudowoodo isn't a plant despite their appearance while marvelling at how unique [[Alola]]n Pokémon are. Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} then challenges the player to a fight using the Ultra Beast Poipole from their home. After the battle, Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} thanks the player for helping them to better understand their Poipole while noting that their battle skills needs more improvement. Also they mention how the [[Z-Ring|Z-Power Ring]] reminds them of the light their ancestors once experienced from the "Blinding One", which is their duty to find out before leaving the area.

The fifth encounter happens when the player enters [[Dividing Peak Tunnel]] for the first time. Here they discover the aura readings in the area are very high, that they are not very familiar with the tunnels. After asking the player if they can control the aura that is in [[Z-Move]]s before revealing that their home used to be have a light the affected them similar light to [[Z-Move]]s. They proceed to leave the tunnel into order to meet up someone. When the player enters [[Alola Route 8|Route 8]], it is revealed that it was [[Colress]] who the Ultra Recon Squad was meeting with. After chatting with the scientist they leave the route.

The sixth encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens after the player defeats {{p|Nihilego}} at the [[Aether Paradise]], also they are without their masks for the first time. Here they reveal to the player and [[Hau]] that they are working with [[Lusamine]] and the organization. They also explained that Nihilego came from [[Ultra Space]] and that their home dimension's light was stolen by {{p|Necrozma}}. They are helping the Aether Foundation with the research on the [[Ultra Beast]]s. Lusamine reassures that should Necrozma or any Ultra Beasts emerge in [[Alola]], the Ultra Recon Squad will be prepared to protect the region along with the Aether Foundation before leaving the area.

The seventh encounter occurs when the player reaches [[Tapu Village]], they reveal they are investigating for the ruins in the village. The Ultra Recon squad reveals that here is where {{p|Necrozma}}'s last visit to [[Alola]] was and fought against the [[Guardian deities]] during its search for light. They also revealed that their ancestors were greedy and wanted to control Necrozma's light, only for it to backfire. Their action resulted in Necrozma losing a piece of itself, leading it to become wild and seeking all the light it can find to absorb. Because of this, their ancestors locked the Prism Pokémon away in the [[Megalo Tower]] in order to prevent the Prism Pokémon from escaping and contains its rage. However the tower is reaching its limit, hence why they went to [[Alola]] in the first place to find a different way to stop Necrozma which has proven to be difficult for them and proceeds to leave village afterwards.

The eight encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens during the rescue of [[Lillie]] from the [[Aether Paradise]], here they block the way to [[Lusamine]]. They ask the player to leave {{p|Cosmog}} to them before Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} faces the player in battle and loses. The battle made Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} realize the reason they have no control over [[p|Necrozma]] even with the technology they have, but they are still confident in the fact that the the [[Aether Foundation]] will use [[Nebby]] to send [[Pokémon Trainer]] though the [[Ultra Wormhole]] to stop Necrozma using a device created by [[Colress]] to restrain it. So they ask the player not to get in the way of Lusamine before the player goes to face her. After [[Lusamine]] goes into [[Ultra Space]] along with [[Guzma]] using [[Nebby]]'s power, the Ultra Recon Squad comes into the room, appalled that Lusamine went to face Necrozma for her own selfish reasons instead of helping them. They then mentions that if Lusamine awakens Necrozma, it will take the light of [[Alola]] as it did in the past before leaving [[Aether Paradise]].

===Pokémon===
The concept of Pokémon ownership does not exist in [[Ultra Megalopolis]]; instead, the people share their Pokémon to use their powers. In the Ultra Recon Squad, each duo share a Poipole, one of which Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} uses to battle the player throughout Alola. The other is given to the player by Soliera{{sup/7|US}}/Dulse{{sup/7|UM}} after defeating Necrozma at Megalo Tower.

The Ultra Recon Squad also has access to a Solgaleo and Lunala which they use to travel between Ultra Megalopolis and Alola. After witnessing Necrozma absorb Nebby to become its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} form at the Altar in Poni Island, the Ultra Recon Squad will entrust the player to ride their Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} through the Ultra Wormhole. After defeating Necrozma at Megalo Tower, the player can speak to Phyco{{sup/7|US}}/Zossie{{sup/7|UM}} in order to switch between riding Solgaleo or Lunala when using [[Ultra Warp Ride]].

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 arenas 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}}, 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.

The Battle Frontier is owned and operated by [[Scott]], whom the {{player}} meets throughout the game in Pokémon Emerald.

==Overview==
[[File:Battle Frontier E.png|thumb|300px|In-game view of the Battle Frontier]]
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. 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]]. The following Pokémon cannot be entered for battle:

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)]]. An [[apprentice]] will occasionally appear in the lobby and ask the player for help. If that apprentice is later battled, he/she will use the Pokémon and [[move]]s that he/she was told to use. 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 runs 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.

In addition to win streaks, the monitors inside the lobby display the number of times the players swapped his/her Pokémon during the challenge.

====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. Trainers advance from one level to the next by stepping on a blue tile. Each level is shrouded in darkness, and can only be lit up by defeating opponents on the level. After a battle, a defeated trainer may 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. The Ability {{a|Run Away}} does not guarantee [[escape]] here, but will be credited if the player does successfully escape with a Pokémon with the Ability.

Trainers cannot take any items into the pyramid, and items found within can only be used while inside, being stored in a special Bag called the Battle Bag that is handed out to those who challenge it. The Battle Bag has only 10 different slots, each capable of holding a quantity of up to 99 of each individual item. If the player is victorious, the Battle Bag stores said items for the next challenge. However, upon defeat the Battle Bag's contents return to one {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}} and one [[Ether]]. If the player successfully completes a round but has more than 10 item types total (including bag slots and held items) after completion, they must discard any extra item slots in their Battle Bag to get down to the required 10 slots.

Wild Pokémon are encountered within the Battle Pyramid, with strategies differing depending on how many floors the player has ventured through. Several of the wild Pokémon have high base Speed, making them difficult to [[escape]] from. A {{tc|Hex Maniac}} next to the PC will tell the player what to expect in their next attempt. The tactics used by the wild Pokémon will progress as follows (note that after the list has been completed, it will restart from the beginning):

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.

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}}. The player is challenged to make it through seven rooms, but before each one they are given a choice of three rooms to enter. In any room, one of the following eight events may occur:
* Single battle: A Trainer with 3 Pokémon walks up to the player and battles.
* Double battle: Two Trainers each with 1 Pokémon walk up to the player and battle.
* Single battle and healing: The Single battle Trainer is more difficult than usual and the winner's Pokémon are completely healed.
* Wild Pokémon: Wild {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Dusclops}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Breloom}}, and {{p|Wobbuffet}} appear as the player crosses the room.
* 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 player may not change the order of his/her party during a challenge.

In the area where the player must pick one among the three rooms, a lady standing outside will name one room and hint at what is in that room. Each quote has two possibilities, but the first is more common than the second.

==Other points of interest==
===Artisan Cave===
{{main|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 {{p|Smeargle}}.

===House===
There is a house next to the Battle Tower. Inside, there is a Trainer who wants to trade a {{p|Meowth}} for a {{p|Skitty}}.

===Record Hall===
[[File:Record Hall E.png|thumb|The Record Hall]]
The record 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 {{p|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 {{key|III|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|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 {{IV}}s 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.

===Battle Point Exchange Service Corner===
[[File:Battle Point Exchange Service Corner E.png|thumb|The Battle Point Exchange Service Corner]]
The Battle Point Exchange Service Corner, or simply the Exchange Service Corner, sells various goods in exchange for Battle Points earned at other parts of the Battle Frontier. Players can purchase goods for their [[Secret Base]], [[vitamin]]s, and [[held item|items that can be held by a Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|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 {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as well as Emerald. Much like the [[Gym]]s 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 ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

===Battle Tower===
[[File:Battle Tower anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Tower in the anime]]
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]].

For the Battle Tower in [[LaRousse City]], see {{DL|Battle Tower (Generation III)|In the anime|here}}.

|img=Anabel Alakazam.png
|epnum=AG169
|epname=Talking a Good Game!
|vajp=Kenta Miyake
|vaen=Maddie Blaustein
|desc=Anabel first called on {{p|Alakazam}} in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' to help her and {{Ash}} when they were attacked by {{TRT}}. Alakazam was able to beat them with its powerful {{t|Psychic}} attacks. Ash then realized that Anabel was a [[Frontier Brain]] and that he would have to battle Alakazam. 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}}.

===Battle Palace===
[[File:Battle Palace anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Palace in the anime]]
The Battle Palace was the fifth facility to be challenged by Ash in the anime, where it was on [[Metallica Island]], near the [[Seafoam Islands]]. It appeared in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind!]]'' and ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]''. The Battle Palace challenge doesn't take place inside the palace itself, instead starting from a battlefield on a nearby plateau and then moving on into the surrounding jungle and beach. Spenser can also allow challengers to take a break in the middle of the battle.

Before using any move, Shiftry dodged the {{m|Bullet Seed}} from Sceptile and was told to move to the jungle. It had immense speed, but Sceptile was just as fast, as it followed close behind. After the two Grass types reached a small waterfall, both continued their duel. Shiftry managed to push Sceptile into the pool of water, then used {{m|Rock Smash}} to send rocks down into the pool. However, Sceptile escaped up through the waterfall and landed a hit on Shiftry, knocking it out, and winning Ash the first victory.

===Battle Factory===
[[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.

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.}}

===Battle Pyramid===
[[File:Battle Pyramid anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Pyramid in the anime]]
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, doing so three times between ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' and ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' before finally managing to win.

In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', the Battle Pyramid traveled to [[Snowpoint City]]. Here, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} battled and defeated [[Paul]]. In the [[DP129|following episode]], the Battle Pyramid was used in defending the [[Snowpoint Temple]] from [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].

The two fought hard, and although Registeel was left extremely weak after the battle, it was Torkoal who was defeated. Registeel later sent Team Rocket blasting off alongside Regirock during Ash and Brandon's rematch.

During the Full Battle against Paul, it was easily able to stand up to his Magmar's {{type|Fire}} moves, despite the type weakness. It also managed to defeat Paul's {{p|Nidoking}} despite taking damage from its {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fighting}} attacks.}}

===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. In the Battle Dome, the challenger is given the possibility of swapping their [[party]] Pokémon with the ones they have in storage after the Frontier Brain has revealed his Pokémon.

===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 wheel 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]].}}

==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. Eventually it was revealed 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 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|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 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 {{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.

Accompanying Emerald during his Battle Frontier challenge were also reporter [[Todd Snap]], as well as {{adv|Eon duo|Latios and 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. In the end, he managed to defeat six of the seven facilities.

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 [[CBF4|the fourth chapter]].
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG|EX Emerald}} expansion for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] featured two Battle Frontier-related cards:

==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.
* It's possible for the Trainers fought in the Battle Frontier to have [[Shiny Pokémon]].
* 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}}.
* 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 {{game|Emerald}} that features several arenas 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}}, 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.

The Battle Frontier is owned and operated by [[Scott]], whom the {{player}} meets throughout the game in Pokémon Emerald.

==Trainers==
For Trainers and the Pokémon they may use in Battle Frontier facilities, refer to:
* [[List of Battle Frontier Trainers (Generation III)]]
* [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)/Pokémon (Group 1)]]
* [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)/Pokémon (Group 2)]]
* [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)/Pokémon (Group 3, 001-151)]]
* [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)/Pokémon (Group 3, 152-386)]]

==Overview==
[[File:Battle Frontier E.png|thumb|300px|In-game view of the Battle Frontier]]
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. 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]]. The following Pokémon cannot be entered for battle:

}}

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)]]. An [[apprentice]] will occasionally appear in the lobby and ask the player for help. If that apprentice is later battled, he/she will use the Pokémon and [[move]]s that he/she was told to use. Through a glitch, players may exploit the Battle Tower in Emerald to [[Cloning glitches|clone their Pokémon]].

|gold=42
}}

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 runs 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.

In addition to win streaks, the monitors inside the lobby display the number of times the players swapped his/her Pokémon during the challenge.

====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. Trainers advance from one level to the next by stepping on a blue tile. Each level is shrouded in darkness, and can only be lit up by defeating opponents on the level. After a battle, a defeated trainer may 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. The Ability {{a|Run Away}} does not guarantee [[escape]] here, but will be credited if the player does successfully escape with a Pokémon with the Ability.

Trainers cannot take any items into the pyramid, and items found within can only be used while inside, being stored in a special Bag called the Battle Bag that is handed out to those who challenge it. The Battle Bag has only 10 different slots, each capable of holding a quantity of up to 99 of each individual item. If the player is victorious, the Battle Bag stores said items for the next challenge. However, upon defeat the Battle Bag's contents return to one {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}} and one [[Ether]]. If the player successfully completes a round but has more than 10 item types total (including bag slots and held items) after completion, they must discard any extra item slots in their Battle Bag to get down to the required 10 slots.

Wild Pokémon are encountered within the Battle Pyramid, with strategies differing depending on how many floors the player has ventured through. Several of the wild Pokémon have high base Speed, making them difficult to [[escape]] from. A {{tc|Hex Maniac}} next to the PC will tell the player what to expect in their next attempt. The tactics used by the wild Pokémon will progress as follows (note that after the list has been completed, it will restart from the beginning):

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.

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}}. The player is challenged to make it through seven rooms, but before each one they are given a choice of three rooms to enter. In any room, one of the following eight events may occur:
* Single battle: A Trainer with 3 Pokémon walks up to the player and battles.
* Double battle: Two Trainers each with 1 Pokémon walk up to the player and battle.
* Single battle and healing: The Single battle Trainer is more difficult than usual and the winner's Pokémon are completely healed.
* Wild Pokémon: Wild {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Dusclops}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Breloom}}, and {{p|Wobbuffet}} appear as the player crosses the room.
* 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}}.

==Other points of interest==
===Artisan Cave===
{{main|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 {{p|Smeargle}}.

===House===
There is a house next to the Battle Tower. Inside, there is a Trainer who wants to trade a {{p|Meowth}} for a {{p|Skitty}}.

===Record Hall===
[[File:Record Hall E.png|thumb|The Record Hall]]
The record 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 {{p|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 {{key|III|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|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 {{IV}}s 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.

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|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 {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as well as Emerald. Much like the [[Gym]]s 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 ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

===Battle Tower===
[[File:Battle Tower anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Tower in the anime]]
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]].

For the Battle Tower in [[LaRousse City]], see {{DL|Battle Tower (Generation III)|In the anime|here}}.

|desc=Anabel first called on {{p|Alakazam}} in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' to help her and {{Ash}} when they were attacked by {{TRT}}. Alakazam was able to beat them with its powerful {{t|Psychic}} attacks. Ash then realized that Anabel was a [[Frontier Brain]] and that he would have to battle Alakazam. 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}}.

Alakazam's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Recover}}.}}

This cost some critical hits for Espeon, and Pikachu was finally able to defeat the Sun Pokémon with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, winning the match for Ash and earning him the [[Symbol|Ability Symbol]].

Espeon's known moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Zap Cannon}}, and {{m|Psychic}}.}}

===Battle Palace===
[[File:Battle Palace anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Palace in the anime]]
The Battle Palace was the fifth facility to be challenged by Ash in the anime, where it was on [[Metallica Island]], near the [[Seafoam Islands]]. It appeared in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind!]]'' and ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]''. The Battle Palace challenge doesn't take place inside the palace itself, instead starting from a battlefield on a nearby plateau and then moving on into the surrounding jungle and beach. Spenser can also allow challengers to take a break in the middle of the battle.

Before using any move, Shiftry dodged the {{m|Bullet Seed}} from Sceptile and was told to move to the jungle. It had immense speed, but Sceptile was just as fast, as it followed close behind. After the two Grass types reached a small waterfall, both continued their duel. Shiftry managed to push Sceptile into the pool of water, then used {{m|Rock Smash}} to send rocks down into the pool. However, Sceptile escaped up through the waterfall and landed a hit on Shiftry, knocking it out, and winning Ash the first victory.

Shiftry's known moves are {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Rock Smash}}.}}

Claydol's known moves are {{m|Teleport}}, {{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Psybeam}}.}}

===Battle Factory===
[[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.

Max was impressed on how Noland caught such a powerful Pokémon, but Noland further explains that Articuno is {{pkmn2|wild}}, and a friend of his.

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.}}

===Battle Pyramid===
[[File:Battle Pyramid anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Pyramid in the anime]]
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, doing so three times between ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' and ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' before finally managing to win.

In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', the Battle Pyramid traveled to [[Snowpoint City]]. Here, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} battled and defeated [[Paul]]. In the [[DP129|following episode]], the Battle Pyramid was used in defending the [[Snowpoint Temple]] from [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].

Regirock went up against {{AP|Sceptile}} and won despite the type-disadvantage. Regirock later sent {{TRT}} blasting off along with Registeel during Ash and Brandon's [[AG189|rematch]].

Regirock was used in [[DP128|the Full Battle]] against [[Paul]] and was able to easily defeat his {{p|Hariyama}}, {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and {{TP|Paul|Magmar}}.}}

The two fought hard, and although Registeel was left extremely weak after the battle, it was Torkoal who was defeated. Registeel later sent Team Rocket blasting off alongside Regirock during Ash and Brandon's rematch.

During the Full Battle against Paul, it was easily able to stand up to his Magmar's {{type|Fire}} moves, despite the type weakness. It also managed to defeat Paul's {{p|Nidoking}} despite taking damage from its {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fighting}} attacks.}}

===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.

===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 wheel 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]].}}

==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. Eventually it was revealed 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 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|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 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 {{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.

Accompanying Emerald during his Battle Frontier challenge were also reporter [[Todd Snap]], as well as {{adv|Eon duo|Latios and 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. In the end, he managed to defeat six of the seven facilities.

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 [[CBF4|the fourth chapter]].

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG|EX Emerald}} expansion for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] featured two Battle Frontier-related cards:

{| class="roundy" style="border: 2px solid #{{emerald color}}; background: #{{emerald color light}}; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px"
! Card !! Type !! Rarity !! Expansion !! Set No.
{{Trainerlistentry|Scott|EX Emerald|84|106|Trainer||Uncommon}}
{{Trainerlistentry|Battle Frontier|EX Emerald|75|106|Trainer||Uncommon}}
|} 

==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.
* It's possible for the Trainers fought in the Battle Frontier to have [[Shiny Pokémon]].
* 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}}.
* 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>

[[File:Barbara.png|thumb|220px|Barbara]]
'''Barbara''' (Japanese: '''イバラ''' ''Ibara'') is the [[character of the day]] in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]''.

Barbara can be an intimidating young woman. She became angered by {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] standing outside the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}. She was also angered when Brock showed feelings for Lucy. She frequently told Brock to "Shut up". However, she will bow down in respect only to her master, {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}. Usually Lucy is the one that needs to tell her to watch her temper.

Barbara is also overly confident in her master's skills as a Pokémon Trainer as well as her Pokémon. She belittled [[Jessie's Seviper]] saying that [[Lucy's Seviper]] was way better than hers.

When {{Ash}} defeated Lucy and won his Frontier Symbol, Barbara was disappointed that Lucy didn't win.

The dub states Barbara to be Lucy's younger sister, which is probably the misinterpretation of お姉さん ''Oneesan'' (the way Lucy's apprentices refer to her), which literally mean "elder sister" but is also a polite way to refer to any older young female.
