Battle Institute: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|2=Missing complete layout maps and item details/section}}

In [[Generation V]], the Battle Institute is located in [[Nimbasa City]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the Battle Institute can only be accessed after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]; if the player tries to access it before that point, an {{tc|Ace Trainer}} will exit the institute and block the entrance, telling the player that they must become the {{pkmn|Champion}} before they can enter.

The Trainers met here are the same ones found in the [[Battle Subway]] and [[Battle Maison]]<!--, and the same Pokémon banned from the Battle Subway are banned from entering here, as well-->. The player can opt to fight five consecutive battles—called the Battle Test—of either Single Battles (requiring three Pokémon) or [[Double Battle]]s (requiring four Pokémon). When battling, all Pokémon temporarily become level 50. Bag items are not permitted to be used.

At the end of the fifth battle, the player is awarded a score and a rank. Depending on their score, the player will receive a certain amount of [[Battle Point]]s and a [[vitamin]]. Unlike the Battle Subway and Battle Maison, the Battle Institute does not require the player to save the game before participating.

Each battle grows in difficulty, starting with pre-evolved Pokémon and potentially fighting [[Legendary Pokémon]] by the end. Once the Battle Test begins, there is no quitting; losing one battle means continuing to the next, until all five battles are complete. The 'Run' command acts as a battle forfeit measure for that battle only. If it is not the fifth battle, the player's forfeit will trigger the next battle.

Each battle increases the maximum points that can be earned, meaning the max amount of points one can earn in the first battle is lower than the max points one can earn in the last. Points are awarded depending on how many battles are won (no points are awarded for lost battles) and how well the player beats the opponent; fainted teammates count against the final score, as does damage taken.

* 5 points per switch

* 1 point per super-effective attack

* 4 points per opposing attack that is rendered ineffective (either from type immunities, {{a|Levitate}}, or a status attack that the Pokémon is immune to due to its type)

* 2 points per opposing attack that is rendered not very effective

* -80 points per Pokémon fainted

* -10 points per turn

* -10 points per ineffective attack against the opponent (on the same basis as the above)

* -2 points per resisted attack against the opponent

* 1 point per percent of HP remaining after each battle
