Carrying over its functions from the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}} in {{game|Crystal}} into {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, the Battle Tower is expanded on in {{game|Emerald}} where it becomes one of the seven facilities in the Hoenn {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and allows for [[Double Battle]]s as well as [[Multi Battle]]s (with the {{player}} being able to partner up with a computer-controlled Trainer or a linked human-controlled one).

==Modes==
===Single battles===
This battle mode carries over the same rules and regulations as the Battle Tower that appears in Pokémon Crystal, expanded to include Generation III Pokémon. Players go through a series of seven battles in a row, with three Pokémon per side, with the levels varying depending on which mode is chosen. In level 50 and level 100 modes, all opponent Pokémon will be of the specified level, however, in "open level" mode, which replaces level 100 mode in Emerald, all will be the level of the player's highest-level Pokémon (with a minimum of level 60). No two Pokémon used by the same Trainer can be holding the same item.
In Emerald, [[Salon Maiden Anabel]] appears as the 35th and 70th opponent, the last battles in the fifth and tenth passes through the tower, respectively.
===Double Battles===
The rules of Single Battle mode apply to Double Battles as well, however, each Trainer uses a party of four, rather than three, and battles with two Pokémon at once. This mode appears only in {{game|Emerald}}, however, Anabel does not appear, as she only challenges the player during Single Battle mode.
===Multi battles===
In multi battles, rather than having two Trainers using two Pokémon at a time, four Trainers use one Pokémon apiece in a Double Battle. Only two of the player's Pokémon are allowed to compete at once (with the same rules followed as before). This mode can either be used alone (where the player is accompanied by an [[apprentice]] or another computer-controlled Trainer) or when linked to another copy of {{game|Emerald}} (via the [[Game Link Cable]] or [[Wireless Adapter]] accessories for [[Game Boy Advance]]), where another player contributes his or her Pokémon.


==Restrictions==
==Restrictions==
Players competing in level 50 mode cannot use Pokémon higher than level 50. Additionally, following {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are banned from competing in the Battle Tower:
Any Pokémon can be entered for battle, except for  the following {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}:

==Challenges==
==Prizes==
===[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]===
The player must select three allowed Pokémon to participate in seven consecutive Single battles. The player's Pokémon will be restored to full health at the end of each battle.
There are two level modes: level 50 and level 100, which dictate the opponent Pokémon's level.
 
Upon winning the seventh battle, the player will be given a prize, which depends on how many consecutive challenges a player has completed.

====Prizes====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a prize will be given away after each set of seven matches. A single, random prize will be given away, depending on the length of the player's winning streak. In {{game|Emerald}}, like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier, [[Battle Point]]s are awarded instead of prizes.

Two different Battle Towers appeared in [[Generation III]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

A [[Battle Tower]] appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in [[LaRousse City]], where {{Ash}} and [[Tory Lund]] battled [[Rafe]] and [[Sid]]. Like most locations in the city, this Battle Tower was almost completely high-tech.

==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
[[File:Battle Tower anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Tower in the main series]]
In the main series, the Battle Tower was the sixth of the facilities Ash challenged, in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''. After losing the first match, Ash redoubled his efforts and challenged Anabel to a [[rematch]], resulting in a win. This version of the Battle Tower is near [[Tohjo Falls]].
====Pokémon used in Battle Tower====
{{TrainerPoké

|type1=Psychic
|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}}.
Alakazam's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Recover}}.}}
{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Anabel
|pkmn=Metagross

|epname=Talking a Good Game!
|vajp=Unshō Ishizuka
|vaen=Unshō Ishizuka
|desc={{p|Metagross}} was for the first time seen during Ash's first match against her, where it easily defeated Ash's {{p|Pikachu}}, losing the match for Ash. During Ash's rematch against Anabel, Metagross easily defeated Ash's Corphish, but the Iron Leg Pokémon finally tied with his {{p|Tauros}}, as its {{m|Meteor Mash}} collided with Tauros's {{m|Take Down}}.
Metagross's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Meteor Mash}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}
{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Anabel
|pkmn=Espeon
|type1=Psychic
|img=Anabel Espeon.png
|epnum=AG170
|epname=Second Time's the Charm!
|vajp=Megumi Hayashibara
|vaen=Megumi Hayashibara
|desc={{p|Espeon}}, Anabel's favorite Pokémon, was seen during Ash's rematch against her, where it battled against Ash's Pikachu. Even though Espeon at first managed to overwhelm Pikachu with its speed and power, one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s put the lights off, making it impossible for both Anabel and Espeon to see where the next attack was coming from. 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}}.}}
