The Trainers met here are the same ones found in the [[Battle Subway]] and [[Battle Maison]]<!--, and the same Pokémon banned from the Battle Subway are banned from entering here, as well-->. The player can opt to fight five consecutive battles—called the Battle Test—of either Single Battles (requiring three Pokémon) or [[Double Battle]]s (requiring four Pokémon). When battling, all Pokémon temporarily become level 50. Bag items are not permitted to be used. At the end of the fifth battle, the player is awarded a score and a rank. Depending on their score, the player will receive a certain amount of [[Battle Point]]s and a vitamin. Unlike the Battle Subway and Battle Maison, the Battle Institute does not require the player to save the game before participating.
In [[Generation V]], the Battle Institute is located in [[Nimbasa City]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the Battle Institute can only be accessed after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]; if the player tries to access it before that point, an {{tc|Ace Trainer}} will exit the institute and block the entrance, telling the player that they must become the {{pkmn|Champion}} before they can enter.


Each battle grows in difficulty, starting with pre-evolved Pokémon and potentially fighting [[Legendary Pokémon]] by the end. Once the Battle Test begins, there is no quitting; losing one battle means continuing to the next, until all five battles are complete. The 'Run' command acts as a battle forfeit measure for that battle only. If it is not the fifth battle, the player's forfeit will trigger the next battle.
In {{g|X and Y}}, the Battle Institute is located on Northern Boulevard in [[Lumiose City]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Battle Institute is located on the west side of the eastern mall of [[Mauville City]].
