A '''rematch''' or '''re-battle''' is the second or subsequent battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}} or {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.


In the main series games, it is mandatory for the player to defeat certain Trainers to advance within the game. Technically, if the player is defeated, they are given the chance to battle this opponent again until defeated (except in exceptional circumstances), it is still considered a rematch.

Most of the time, however, if a Trainer is defeated, that Trainer will not be available for a rematch until certain conditions have been met. When Trainers usually agree to rematch, their Pokémon will have become stronger (level up or evolution), or they would already have acquired more Pokémon (sometimes from another region, once the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]).

In {{game|Platinum}}, the [[Gym Leaders]] of [[Sinnoh]], together with the player's previous [[Stat Trainers|Tag Battle partners]], can be found in the [[Battleground]]. Up to four of these {{pkmn|Trainer}}s appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground would change the Trainers who are inside.

To re-battle a Gym Leader, the player has to first obtain the Gym Leader's number. Following that, the player can call the Gym Leader at any time, but he or she will only accept a rematch when their schedule is free.
