The '''Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル大会''' ''Tag Battle Tournament'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive tournament consisting of [[Multi Battle|Tag Battles]] that is held in a large stadium in [[Hearthome City]], [[Sinnoh]]. It is one of the city's biggest attractions, along with its [[Pokémon Contest]] and the [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] promoted by the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine.


==Trainers who have participated in the Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament==
The competition is broadcast on [[television]] and hosted by {{an|Enta}}. It was first mentioned in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' and it took place from ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'' to ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} decided to enter the tournament after learning about it from [[Nando]], while {{an|Dawn}} was registered as per [[Zoey]]'s suggestion following her failed [[Double Performance]] in the Hearthome Contest.
The following trainers have competed in the Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament:
* [[Ash Ketchum]] with [[Paul]] (Winners)
* {{an|Dawn}} with [[Conway]] (Runner-up)
* [[Brock]] with [[Holly]] (3rd place)
* A [[Psychic (trainer class)|Psychic]] with a [[Black Belt (trainer class)|Black Belt]]
* Many Other trainers


==Trivia==
The Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition is notable for a number of important events, such as {{ashfr|the group}}'s first encounter with [[Conway]] and the {{pkmn2|released|release}} of [[Paul's Chimchar]], something which allowed the {{pkmn|category|Chimp Pokémon}} to join Ash's [[party]]. It was referenced in many later episodes as well, including ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.
*The tournament in the anime is likely a reference to the many [[double battle]]s there are on [[Route]]s {{rtn|209}} and {{rtn|210}} in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], as it takes place in [[Hearthome City]], which is just west of Route 209.

==Competition==
[[Category:Pokémon competitions]]
The Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition accepted 32 registrations. When registering for the tournament, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} was given an entry card with a number on its front. During the opening ceremony, a computer shuffled all the cards, randomly pairing up two numbers and forming 16 different teams. After that, Trainers started looking for the person holding the card whose number was matched with the number on their card.
 
With the teams formed, the tournament began with the Tag Battles taking place one at a time. All battles were observed by a [[Battle judge|referee]]. The prize is two [[Soothe Bell]]s, one for each winner.
