"Keep the win streak as the toughest TRAINER!"

Battles per round 7 Participating Pokémon Single 3 Double 4 Salon Maiden Anabel Silver Ability Symbol Gold Ability Symbol Wins to obtain the Ability Symbol Silver 5 Gold 10

InPokémon Emerald, the Battle Tower is now a facility within theBattle Frontier.

The Battle Tower in Emerald has expanded to include Double battle and Multi battle modes, and level 100 mode has been replaced with open level mode.Anabel, however, will only appear in Single battle challenges.

In Double battles, each Trainer uses four Pokémon and battles with two Pokémon at once.

In Multi battles, rather than having two Trainers using two Pokémon at a time, four Trainers use one Pokémon apiece in a Double battle. Only two of the player's Pokémon are allowed to compete at once (with the same rules followed as before). This mode can either be used alone (where the player is accompanied by anapprentice or another computer-controlled Trainer) or when linked to another copy ofPokémon Emerald (via theGame Link Cable orWireless Adapter accessories forGame Boy Advance), where another player contributes their Pokémon.

Battle Points

Battle Points (BP) are awarded upon completing a set of seven battles. The amount of BP increases with the player's current streak, with a maximum of 15 BP for regular battles.

Pokémon the Series

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

ABattle Tower appeared in themovieDestiny Deoxys inLaRousse City, whereAsh andTory Lund battledRafe andSid and lost. Like most locations in the city, this Battle Tower was almost completely high-tech.

The Battle Tower that's part of theBattle Frontier first appeared inTalking a Good Game!. InPokémon the Series, it is located nearCremini Town and was the sixth Battle Frontier facility challenged byAsh.The group discovered its location inKing and Queen for a Day!, following Ash's victory againstSpenser at theBattle Palace. The facility is run byAnabel and the battles arerefereed byMaron.

Ash's first battle against Anabel ended in his clear defeat, without Anabel even having to send out her third Pokémon. He challenged her to arematch inSecond Time's the Charm!. Using the same team as before—consisting ofCorphish,Tauros, andPikachu—he was able to win this time around, earning himself theAbility Symbol and the knowledge of theBattle Pyramid's current location.

Pokémon used in Battle Tower

The following is a list ofPokémon used in the Battle Tower:

Alakazam

Debut	Talking a Good Game!
Voice actors
Japanese	Kenta Miyake
English	Maddie Blaustein

Anabel first called onAlakazam inTalking a Good Game! to help her andAsh when they were attacked byTeam Rocket. Alakazam was able to beat them with its powerfulPsychic attacks. Ash then realized that Anabel was aFrontier Brain and that he would have to battle Alakazam. Ash choseCorphish for the match. Anabel had the ability to telepathically communicate with her Pokémon and give commands without saying a word. In the end, Alakazam easily defeatedCorphish. Alakazam then went on to defeatAsh's Tauros before finally being defeated by hisPikachu, but not before weakening it.

InSecond Time's the Charm!, Ash had a rematch with Anabel. Again, she chose Alakazam as her first Pokémon. It went head to head again with Ash's Corphish once again, but this time with a little bit of luck as well as Ash's quick thinking, Alakazam was defeated by Corphish'sBubble Beam.

Alakazam's known moves arePsychic,Psybeam,Focus Punch, andRecover.

Metagross

Debut	Talking a Good Game!
Voice actors
Japanese	Unshō Ishizuka
English	Unshō Ishizuka

Metagross was for the first time seen during Ash's first match against her, where it easily defeated Ash'sPikachu, losing the match for Ash. During Ash's rematch against Anabel, Metagross easily defeated Ash's Corphish, but the Iron Leg Pokémon finally tied with hisTauros, as itsMeteor Mash collided with Tauros'sTake Down.

Metagross's known moves arePsychic,Iron Defense,Meteor Mash, andHyper Beam.

Espeon

Debut	Second Time's the Charm!
Voice actors
Japanese	Megumi Hayashibara
English	Megumi Hayashibara

Espeon, Anabel's favorite Pokémon, was seen during Ash's rematch against her, where it battled against Ash's Pikachu. Even though Espeon at first managed to overwhelm Pikachu with its speed and power, one of Pikachu'sThunderbolts put the lights off, making it impossible for both Anabel and Espeon to see where the next attack was coming from. This cost some critical hits for Espeon, and Pikachu was finally able to defeat the Sun Pokémon with aVolt Tackle, winning the match for Ash and earning him theAbility Symbol.

Espeon's known moves areQuick Attack,Iron Tail,Zap Cannon, andPsychic.

Pokémon Adventures

Emerald arc

InNever Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo, it was revealed that the Battle Tower had been constructed before six other battle facilities were added around it to form the Battle Frontier.

During the climax of the arc, starting fromLemme at 'Em, Lapras!,Guile Hideout took over the Battle Tower and brainwashed Anabel as his servant, forcingEmerald,Ruby,Sapphire, andNoland to fight their way through the Battle Tower challenge to reach the 70th floor at the top of the tower. Emerald, reaching the top floor first, engaged in a battle against the mind-controlled Anabel, but was hopelessly outmatched against herRaikou. Eventually, the strain of the mind control caused Anabel to fall unconscious. In exchange for Anabel's safety, Noland was forced to hand over the information he had managed to find out aboutJirachi, allowing Guile Hideout use its wish-granting powers to summon a massiveKyogre-shaped mass of water to sink the Battle Frontier into the ocean.

Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were soon joined byGold andCrystal, who revealed that the "statues" ofPokédex holders on display at the Battle Tower were actually real people whohad gotten turned to stone and could only be saved by making a wish to Jirachi. Although Emerald's initial attempt at wishing for Jirachi to do this ended in a failure, after he had opened up to Ruby and Sapphire about his past, Jirachi accepted his wish and restored the petrified Pokédex holders back to normal. Together, the ten Pokédex holders united to fight the army ofrental Pokémon under Guile's control while trying to figure out a way to defeat the monster Kyogre. Eventually,Red and Gold succeeded in destroying Guile's armor, Emerald managed to calm down the rampaging rental Pokémon, and the Pokédex holders used their Pokémon's ultimate attacks together to destroy the monster Kyogre, ending Guile's plans and saving the Battle Frontier.

InEpilogue, Anabel told Emerald that since he had technically followed the Battle Tower challenge rules while climbing the tower and battling her at the top, he had earned himself theAbility Symbol.

Platinum arc

InDeprogramming Porygon-Z,Platinum mentioned the Hoenn Battle Tower (as well as theJohto Battle Tower) when she was explaining theSinnoh Battle Tower.

Pokémon Battle Frontier

The Battle Tower first appeared inBattle Between Student and Master!, whereEnta was shown having achieved a winning streak at the tower.

The tower briefly reappeared inIntroducing the Frontier Brains!, whereRald was revealed to have been defeated by the facility'sFrontier Brain.

InFinal Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden, Enta challenged the Battle Tower in order battle Anabel, the final and strongest Frontier Brain. After making his way through enoughTrainers, he finally reached Anabel.Scott tried to intervene, since Anabel going all out had crushed the confidence of many Trainers, including Rald, but Anabel and Enta argued against this. The fierce battle between the two Trainers eventually came down to a showdown betweenEnta's Ninetales and Anabel'sEntei. In the end, the twoFire Pokémon ended up knocking each other out, resulting in a draw and thus leaving Enta without his final Frontier Symbol.
