The Battle Tower is identical to the Battle Tower in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The player battles seven, random trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle with having their Level reduced to 50. After each battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely and have the option to continue, rest or retire. The Battle Tower has four modes:

  • Single Battle
  • Double Battle
  • Multi Battle
  • Wi-Fi Battle
