Battle Tower (Sinnoh)
The Battle Tower in Sinnoh is located in the Battle Zone in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and the Battle Frontier in Pokémon Platinum. The player is allowed access to the Battle Tower only after defeating the Elite Four and going to the Snowpoint City Harbor. Trainers all over the northeastern island speak of the Battle Tower, hailing it as the the ultimate test for serious trainers. It is home to several different challenges. Palmer, Pearl's father, is the Tower Tycoon here.
Challenges
The first of these challenges is the standard single battle in which the challenger must engage in seven three on three battles in a row. Winning a set of seven battles earns the player Battle Points. The second of these challenges follows the same layout as the standard single battle but are rather conducted as double battles.
Finally, multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose among Riley, Cheryl, Buck, Mira, and Marley as their partner. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon stat. One can also use the DS's wireless function to partner up with a friend.
Tower Tycoon
After winning 21 and 49 battles consecutively in the Single Battle Room, Tower Tycoon Palmer will offer the player a challenge. He will acknowledge him or her as the friend of their rival and ask for a battle. Defeating him yields additional BP.
