In the games
Unlike in animation, the games allow two Trainers to use different numbers of Pokémon. While the player can have six Pokémon in theparty at a time, manyNPCs faced will not. Generally onlyrivals andChampions have a full team during the main storyline, whileGym Leaders and members of theElite Four may also have a full team in rematches.Red also has a full team on the player's first match against him inGenerations II,IV, andVII. SomePokémon Breeders maintain a full team, although their Pokémon usually have lower levels than other Trainers' Pokémon in the area. Severalcore series games have aFisher with a party of sixMagikarp.Triple Battles at theBattle Maison also consist of Full Battles. Only on rare occasions do other Trainers have a full team.
Trivia
- Ifmovies are not counted,Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl is the onlyseries in which Full Battles took place outside of an official tournament.
- Pokémon the Series: Black & White is the only series which did not feature a proper Full Battle, as only bits ofCameron versusVirgil and Virgil versusDino were shown. ThoughAsh's battle against Cameron was supposed to be a Full Battle and was shown in its entirety, it wasn't aproper Full Battle, as Cameron accidentally handicapped himself by only bringing five Pokémon to the match.
- This also makes it the only series where Ash is a main character and does not participate in a proper Full Battle of six-on-six.
- Ash's battle againstGary in theSilver Conference is his only known Full Battle in the animated series where he doesn't usePikachu.
- Ash's battle againstCynthia marks the first time Ash has participated in a Full Battle without using a traditionalregionalfirst partner Pokémon.
- Paul is the only character in the animated series that Ash has had more than one Full Battle against.
- He has also participated in more on-screen Full Battles than any character other than Ash, with a total of four.
- He is also the only character to have forfeited a Full Battle.
- Pokémon Journeys: The Series is the only series in which Ash partakes in more than one Full Battle and doesn't lose any of them.
