The Battle Pyramid (Japanese: バトルピラミッド Battle Pyramid) is a facility located within the Hoenn Battle Frontier in Pokémon Emerald.

Challenges

The Battle Pyramid is a 7-layer pyramid where challengers must advance from one level to the next by stepping on a blue tile. Each level is shrouded in darkness, and can only be lit up by defeating opponents on the level. After a battle, a defeated trainer may provide the player with contextual hints on certain aspects of the challenge, such as the location of a given floor's exit, the number of remaining Trainers to be fought on a floor, or the number of remaining items on a given floor. The Ability Run Away does not guarantee escape here, but will be credited if the player does successfully escape with a Pokémon with the Ability.

Trainers cannot take any items into the pyramid, and items found within can only be used while inside, being stored in a special Bag called the Battle Bag that is handed out to those who challenge it. The Battle Bag has only 10 different slots, each capable of holding a quantity of up to 99 of each individual item. If the player is victorious, the Battle Bag stores said items for the next challenge. However, upon defeat the Battle Bag's contents return to one Hyper Potion and one Ether. If the player successfully completes a round but has more than 10 item types total (including bag slots and held items) after completion, they must discard any extra item slots in their Battle Bag to get down to the required 10 slots.

Wild Pokémon

Wild Pokémon are encountered within the Battle Pyramid, with strategies differing depending on how many floors the player has ventured through. Several of the wild Pokémon have high base Speed, making them difficult to escape from. A Hex Maniac next to the PC will tell the player what to expect in their next attempt. The tactics used by the wild Pokémon will progress as follows (note that after the list has been completed, it will restart from the beginning):

The Battle Pyramid in the anime

In the anime, the Battle Pyramid was located near Pewter City, but has hovercraft-like turbines installed in its underside, thus giving it the ability to move around anywhere. The location of the Battle Pyramid is only revealed to those who have defeated the other six Frontier Brains, and so it was the seventh and final facility challenged by Ash, doing so three times between Battling the Enemy Within! and Pace - The Final Frontier! before finally managing to win.

In A Pyramiding Rage!, the Battle Pyramid traveled to Snowpoint City. Here, Brandon battled and defeated Paul. In the following episode, the Battle Pyramid was used in defending the Snowpoint Temple from Pokémon Hunter J.

Regirock was used in the Full Battle against Paul and was able to easily defeat his Hariyama, Electabuzz, Ursaring, and Magmar.

Registeel later sent Team Rocket blasting off alongside Regirock during Ash and Brandon's rematch.

During the Full Battle against Paul, it was easily able to stand up to his Magmar's Fire-type moves, despite the type weakness. It also managed to defeat Paul's Nidoking despite taking damage from its Ground-type and Fighting-type attacks.
