Battle Towers are special areas set up specifically for Pokémon battles. Trainers register their Pokémon on the first floor and climb up the floors in a number of battles, fighting other trainers one by one. Pokémon that are not found in their Pokédex will not be registered onto their Pokédex as having been seen. In later games, there are a number of rules that can also be changed within the tower - such as fighting in double battles against the other trainers.
