A Tag Battle is a battle in which more than two Trainers partake. Tag battles can, so far, be set up as one-vs-two or two-vs-two, with four Pokémon on the field at once. Aside from the fact that Pokémon on the same side are controlled by different Trainers, Tag Battles act the same as normal Double Battles. There are currently no tag triple or Rotation Battles.

Unlike regular Double Battles, there are no specific Trainer classes encountered for tag battles. Instead, two different Trainers must both see the {{player}} at the same time. For battles in the games' storylines, the player's opponents will usually only have three Pokémon each. However, Tag Battles occurring by being spotted by a pair of unrelated trainers will occasionally lead to battles against more than six Pokémon. The player and their partner are only subject to such limitations in [[Battle Tower]]s, allowing both to potentially send out six Pokémon.

In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Tag Battle via [[link cable]] by choosing the 'Multi Battle' mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This was the only way to have a Tag Battle in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Tag Battles can still be conducted by selecting 'Multi Battle'.
