In all Battle Tower challenges, the player enters a Battle Room with seven opponents, who the player must defeat all in a row. After beating a room, the player will earn [[Battle Point]]s. The seventh and final opponent is considered the room's boss. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the player is allowed to take breaks until the fifth battle.

The middle receptionist offers the Battle Room challenge. The player may choose the Single Battle format, with battles of three on three, or the [[Double Battle]] format, with battles of four on four.

In Generation IV, the leftmost receptionist offers the Multi Battle Room challenge, a tag team challenge. Before the challenge begins, the player may choose a computer-controlled partner from among the five [[Stat Trainers]], each of whom specializes in a different [[stats|stat]]; or the player may partner with a nearby friend using the DS Wireless Communication. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, each of the computer-controlled partners also appears outside of the Battle Tower in [[Sinnoh]] and will temporarily partner with the player to navigate an area. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, in order for the player to choose one of them as a partner in the Battle Tower, they must have already partnered with that person and cleared their area; in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, they are all always available. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this receptionist does not offer any challenges.

The rightmost receptionist offers the Wi-Fi Battle Room challenge. In this challenge, opposing teams are randomly downloaded via the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] from other players who challenged the Wi-Fi Battle Room. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the rightmost receptionist instead offers the Master Class Battle Room challenges, which is unlocked after achieving a 49-win streak in either of the Battle Rooms.
 
When the player finishes a room, they can choose to upload their results via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The Wi-Fi Battle Rooms are operated on a ranking system, and if the player does well enough, they can become the leader of a room.

{{incomplete|section|Rewards for rank-up and cumulative wins; boss Trainers}}

In Master Class challenges, the player is also assigned a rank, starting from Rank 1. Rank goes up by one for successfully completing a full set, up to Rank 10. If the player repeatedly loses a challenge too many times, the rank will go down by one. The rank determines the boss Trainer that the player will face in the seventh battle, and it does not affect the difficulty of the preceding six battles. The BP reward for completing a challenge also increases with rank.
