A '''rematch''' or '''re-battle''' is a 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]]).
 
==Types of rematch==
[[File:Route 22 Rival battle RBY.png|thumb|right|Encountering the Rival on {{rt|22|Kanto}}]]
===Elite Four and Champion===
In the early [[Generation I]] games, only the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}/[[Rival]] were able to be re-battled. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} introduced the concept of having the Elite Four and Champion's rematch teams at higher levels, with different Pokémon and more competitive movesets.
 
===Rival===
Since Generation I, the player's [[Rival]] plays a key role within the game, occasionally giving hints, helping out or even challenging the player to a rematch. With the exception of {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} in Generation III, the player's rival can be repeatedly rematched after defeating the Elite Four of that region.
 
The following table shows where and when the player's Rival can be challenged for subsequent rematches:

===Regular Trainers===
From [[Generation II]] onwards, rematches were extended to regular Trainers found along normal routes and caves. Appearing in Pokémon {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the [[Pokégear]] allowed the player to exchange telephone numbers with specific Trainers, allowing them to contact the player for a rematch. In [[Generation III]], the [[PokéNav]]'s {{DL|PokéNav|Trainer's Eyes}} or {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}} found in Pokémon {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} has similar functions as the Pokégear, keeping track of Trainers who want to re-battle the player. However, the only way to rematch with these Trainers was to wait until they were ready, which meant that the player could not control who and when they wanted to battle.
 
[[File:Vs Seeker demonstration FRLG.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}} uses the Vs. Seeker on {{rt|25|Kanto}}. Five Trainers wish to have a rematch.]]
 
The introduction of the [[Vs. Seeker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} allowed the player to conveniently locate and identify Trainers within an outside area who were ready for a rematch, giving more control over who and where the player wanted to battle. The Vs. Seeker is charged by taking 100 steps, thus reducing the timespan a player has to wait between each rematch (as opposed to waiting for a call).
 
Additionally, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} certain Trainers can be challenged daily at [[Seven Stars Restaurant]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, players may also fight the maids in the 5-Maid Knockout Exact-Turn Attack Challenge in {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Besides that, in {{game|Platinum}}, several Trainers appear in [[Pokémon Centers]] of different cities who can be battled every day. Their particular location changes daily.
 
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the upgrades for the teams of the Trainers that can be re-battled are fought in three different rematch phases. The requirement for going to the next phase is to face each rematch phase, as well as getting past a certain point in the game. While the first phase is accomplished from the first rematch, the second phase's requirement is that the player must defeat the Elite Four, and the final phase's requirement is for the player to have all sixteen Badges. For example, Youngster [[Joey]]'s {{p|Rattata}} becomes a {{p|Raticate}} for the first rematch, and its level increases further during each rematch phase.
 
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s will challenge the player to a battle upon sight as long as the player has left the area since their last battle. This occurs regardless of whether they have been battled prior and without the need for the player to use special items.<!-- Their teams remain the same.-->
 
===Gym Leaders===
Gym Leader rematches were first introduced in [[Generation III]] in {{game|Emerald}}. However in [[Generation IV]], Gym Leaders were not available for rematches in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
 
====Pokémon Emerald====
{{incomplete|section}}
In {{game|Emerald}}, the Gym Leaders can be rematched through a [[Double Battle]] via the [[PokéNav]]'s {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}}. The player must have defeated the [[Elite Four]].
<!-- requires more elaboration -->
 
[[File:Battleground Pt.png|230px|thumb|right|Battleground (from left): Maylene, Volkner, the player, the Café owner]]
 
====Pokémon Platinum====
{{main|Battleground}}
In {{game|Platinum}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s 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.
 
====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[File:Fighting Dojo HGSS.png|230px|thumb|left|The Fighting Dojo with all the Gym Leaders]]
{{main|Fighting Dojo}}
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] would be found in the [[Fighting Dojo]]. However, unlike Platinum, the Leaders will not arrive at the Dojo until they have been called on for a rematch.
 
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.
 
When a Gym Leader has accepted a rematch, he or she will stay in the [[Fighting Dojo]] until he or she is defeated. There is no limit to the number of times a Gym Leader can be rematched.
 
Note that the phone numbers for most of the Leaders can be obtained after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. However, rematches with the Gym Leaders cannot be scheduled until after the {{Badge|Earth}} has been obtained (i.e. {{ga|Blue}} has been defeated).
 
=====Gym Leader phone listing=====
Each Leader's telephone number must be obtained from them personally when he or she is out of their Gym (except Chuck and Blue, which have to be obtained from their wife and sister respectively). By speaking with them at the appropriate time and place, players can obtain their phone numbers.
 
The following table shows how each Leader's number can be obtained:

=====Gym Leader rematch schedule=====
The following table shows when the Gym Leaders are free to accept a rematch.
 
As midnight to 3:59 AM is considered to be "night" by the game, any Leader who can be battled at night can be battled from midnight to 3:59 AM or from 8:00 PM to 11:59 PM.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{main|Battle Chateau}}
 
In {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kalos]] can be rematched at the [[Battle Chateau]] once the {{player}} reaches the rank of {{tc|Marquis}} or {{tc|Marchioness}}. The Gym Leaders use two of their Pokémon, who start at [[level]] 40, but the level can be adjusted by issuing {{DL|Battle Chateau|Writs}}. Unlike in previous games, the [[Kalos League#Elite Four and Champion|Elite Four]] of Kalos and its {{pkmn|Champion}} do not receive higher level teams when rematched at the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Instead, they can also be encountered at the Chateau. The Elite Four can be rematched when the player reaches the rank of {{tc|Duke}} or {{tc|Duchess}}. They use three Pokémon at the base level of 55. Finally, [[Diantha]] can be rematched when the player reaches the highest rank; Grand Duke or {{tc|Grand Duchess}}. She uses four Pokémon, including her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Gardevoir}}, at the base level of 60.
 
===Legendary and special encounter Pokémon===
In all games, being defeated by a legendary Pokémon does not cause it to disappear. In all games in which [[roaming Pokémon]] exist, [[Escape|fleeing]] from them does not cause them to vanish; the game simply behaves the same as if they were the ones to flee.
 
In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, if the player flees from a stationary [[legendary Pokémon]] it will reappear upon leaving and re-entering the room, unlike the previous games where a stationary legendary Pokémon could only be encountered once. The game informs the player that "The <sc><Pokémon></sc> flew away!"
 
In Pokémon Platinum, if the player defeats or flees from a stationary legendary Pokémon, it reappears after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] again. If the player defeats a [[roaming Pokémon]], the player must re-trigger the event which caused it to start roaming; for example, the player must talk to [[Professor Oak]] to cause a [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] to resume roaming. If the player flees from or defeats [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} in the [[Distortion World]], it will reappear in [[Turnback Cave]] in its Altered Forme, where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon.
 
This was extended to all stationary Pokémon ([[red Gyarados]], {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Snorlax}}) in HeartGold and SoulSilver. If {{p|Suicune}} is defeated or fled from, [[Eusine]] will comment on this fact, and it will instead reappear at the [[Burned Tower]], where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon. If {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}} or {{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}} is defeated or fled from during the storyline, the [[Kimono Girl]]s will comment on this fact then leave, but the two still behave like all stationary Pokémon.
 
In Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} must be caught; defeating, fleeing or losing to the Pokémon does not cause it to disappear, and the story cannot be progressed until it is caught; instead, the player is warped back to the {{un|Pokémon League}} [[Pokémon Center]] to try again. However, if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]], it is possible to progress without catching it. If this situation occurs, it will instead appear at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after defeating [[Team Plasma]], where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon. However, it will still not give any [[experience|experience points]] even in that situation.
 
==In side games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, [[legendary Pokémon]] that have been battled must be fought again in order to be recruited. However, this is only true if the said legendary Pokémon is involved in the storyline.
 
===Pokémon Ranger===
In the Pokémon Ranger series, the [[Drowsy Guy]] will allow the player to re-do a memorable capture. In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, he allows the player to re-capture the [[legendary beasts]], while in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia|the sequel]], he allows the player to re-capture {{p|Darkrai}}. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Nema]] allows the player to re-battle several Boss Pokémon on a model of [[Dolce Island]] via the use of her "Many Times Any Time Capture Machine"
 
==In the anime==
With the exception of the [[Orange League]] and the [[Unova League]], {{Ash}} has had to rematch at least one Gym Leader or [[Frontier Brain]] in each leg of his {{pkmn|journey}}. However, only once has he had a rematch with a Gym Leader he has beaten that isn't in his {{ashfr|circle of friends}}.

<!--==Trivia==
* [[Giovanni]] is the only in-game Gym Leader that cannot be rematched an indefinite amount of times, as he can only be battled in HeartGold and SoulSilver via an Event. However, he can be battled multiple times if the player has multiple Celebi. [[Koga]], the other former Kanto Gym Leader, has been able to be rematched indefinitely since Generation II, where he was an [[Elite Four]] member.-->
