A Double Battle, also known a a 2-on-2 Battle, is a Pokémon Battle feautiring four Pokémon actively participating at once.

Each Pokémon is part of a duo, meaning that the battle takes place between two teams of two. The number of Pokémon Trainers participating in the Battle can be two - in which each trainer uses two Pokémon, three - in which a pair of trainers each using a single Pokémon face off against a trainer using two, or four trainers - with each trainer using a single Pokémon.
