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.

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]].

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 ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]'', Ash had a rematch with Anabel. Again, she chose Alakazam as her first Pokémon.

Location of Battle Tower in Hoenn.
Pokémon world locations

The Battle Tower (Japanese: バトルタワー Battle Tower) in Generation III is located in the Hoenn region, and is a post-Pokémon League battle arena located in Hoenn's southeastern sea, inaccessible except by boat, as it connects to no routes. Its purpose is to provide a challenge to all comers, with the best and brightest Trainers from all over flocking to it to see who is the strongest.

Carrying over its functions from the Battle Tower in Pokémon Crystal into Ruby and Sapphire, the Battle Tower is expanded on in Pokémon Emerald where it becomes one of the seven facilities in the Hoenn Battle Frontier and allows for Double Battles as well as Multi Battles (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 Pokémon 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 Pokémon Emerald (via the Game Link Cable or Wireless Adapter accessories for Game Boy Advance), where another player contributes his or her Pokémon.

Restrictions

Any Pokémon can be entered for battle, except for the following Pokémon:

Mewtwo Mewtwo Mew Mew Lugia Lugia Ho-Oh Ho-Oh Celebi Celebi
Kyogre Kyogre Groudon Groudon Rayquaza Rayquaza Jirachi Jirachi Deoxys Deoxys
Egg Egg


Prizes

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, 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 Pokémon Emerald, like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier, Battle Points are awarded instead of prizes.
