Inside the Battleground.

The Battleground (Japanese: しょうぶどころ Match Place) is a building owned by Buck that is located in the Survival Area of the Battle Zone, and only available 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. Up to four of these Trainers appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground would change the trainers who are inside. According to the old man behind the cash register, Buck and Flint's grandfather, only Gym Leaders and those vouched for by them are allowed here.

Rival

Rival outside the Battleground

Even though the rival is not one of the Trainers that appear in the Battleground, he does appear just outside it and will battle the player every weekend (both Saturday and Sunday). His Pokémon get stronger as the game progresses, with his starter Pokémon eventually reaching level 85, the strongest trainer of any Pokémon game. He wants to get inside, but he is not allowed. At Stark Mountain, he asks Crasher Wake to help him enter, but Wake refuses.

Trivia

  • During the time Gym Leaders 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.
  • All of the Trainers in the Battleground have Pokémon between levels 61 and 65, while Maylene's Pokémon are between levels 62 and 66.
    • Maylene is also the only Trainer in the Battleground, whose party does not have 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.
    • Maylene also offers more prize money than any other trainer in the Battleground. When the player defeats the other trainers, he/she receive $7,800, however beating Maylene earns the player $7,920.
