According to Buck's grandfather, only Gym Leaders and those vouched for by them are allowed here. If the player attempts to enter before completing the Stark Mountain subquest, interacting with the door will produce the message: ''The door is shut tight. "Members only" is printed on it.''

* Two groups of Trainers can be battled on one day by saving inside the Battleground the day before. The {{player}} can battle the Trainers, walk out, and walk back in to find that the Trainers have changed.
** If some of the Trainers have not changed, those Trainers will not be able to be rebattled.
* During the time [[Gym Leader]]s appear here, they can still be found in their respective Gyms and possibly also the [[Villa]]. This is probably due to the Battleground not being part of the main storyline; the game randomly determines which four characters can be challenged on any particular day.
* [[Candice]] is the only Trainer to use [[Generation IV]] Pokémon only (including cross-gen evolutions).
* [[Maylene]], [[Crasher Wake]], and [[Marley]] are the only Trainers to use Pokémon from all four then-released generations.
*  All of the Trainers in the Battleground have Pokémon between levels 61 and 65, except for [[Maylene]], whose Pokémon are between levels 62 and 66.
** Maylene is also the only Trainer without any Pokémon holding an item.
** Maylene is thus the only Trainer in the Battleground whose [[party]] does not consist of two level 61 Pokémon, one level 62 Pokémon, one level 63 Pokémon, and one level 65 Pokémon, instead consisting of two level 62 Pokémon, one level 63 Pokémon, one level 64 Pokémon, and one level 66 Pokémon.
** As a result, Maylene also offers more prize money than any other Trainer in the Battleground: when the {{player}} defeats the other Trainers, he/she receives {{PDollar}}7800; however, beating Maylene earns the player {{PDollar}}7920.
* When both Roark and Byron appear at the same time, their after-battle dialog changes from what it normally would be; Roark tells the player that when he became a Gym Leader, he realized how great a Trainer his dad is, but that he would never admit it in front of his father. Byron talks to himself about how Roark thinks he can "show up his old man", and that he, Byron, will need to get better to prevent that from happening.

The Battleground (Japanese: しょうぶどころ Match Place) is a location in the Survival Area of the Battle Zone where Trainers come to battle each other.

In the games

The Battleground is owned by Buck and appears only in Pokémon Platinum. After the Stark Mountain subquest with Team Galactic, players can battle Gym Leaders and Tag Battle partners from earlier in the game. Gym Leaders can appear simultaneously in the Battleground, their respective Gyms, and possibly the Villa.

Up to four of these Trainers appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground will change the Trainers who are inside. If the player saves the game while inside and then reloads the next day, they may exit and reenter to find a new group; in this manner, the player may battle two sets of Trainers in the same day. (However, if a Trainer appears in both groups, they may not be rebattled in the same day after reentering the Battleground in this way.)

According to Buck's grandfather, only Gym Leaders and those vouched for by them are allowed here. If the player attempts to enter before completing the Stark Mountain subquest, interacting with the door will produce the message: The door is shut tight. "Members only" is printed on it.
