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 Buck's grandfather, only Gym Leaders and those vouched for by them are allowed here.
