Seedings are determined by their ranking: the sum of the combined base stat totals of all Pokémon, plus 1/20 of the product of the number of different types represented by the Pokémon and the highest level among the Pokémon. If two Trainers tie in ranking, the higher internal Trainer number will win the tiebreaker; the player will always win the tiebreaker against any CPU Trainer, while Dome Ace Tucker will win any tiebreaker against other CPU Trainers. In the event of a tie battle, the higher seed advances and the lower seed is eliminated.

Note that the game does not simulate battles between two CPU Trainers. Instead, the outcome between two CPU Trainers is broken down as follows: each Trainer is scored based upon the sum of the following:

* The type affinity of damaging attacks: each attack dealing damage on the team is compared against each Pokémon on the opposing team. 4 points are awarded if the attack is normally effective, 12 if super effective, and 20 if 4× super effective. No points are awarded if the attack is resisted. 8 points are deducted if the attack is 4× resisted, and 16 points are deducted if the attack is ineffective. For the purposes of calculating this, {{type|Ground}} attacks are considered to be neutral against Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. Against Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}}, type matchups that are not super effective do not award nor deduct points.

The Trainer with the higher score advances; if this is a tie, then the higher-seeded Trainer advances. During tournaments in which he may be challenged by the player, Tucker always appears as the #2 seeded contestant, and will always win his battles against CPU opponents.

To determine the Pokémon sent out by a CPU Trainer against the player, each of the CPU Trainer's three Pokémon is given a score. There are two scoring methods, which are chosen at random: the offensive method and defensive method. Both methods compare the type affinity of the Pokémon's damaging attacks against each of the three Pokémon on the player's team. In the offensive method, 2 points are awarded if the attack is normally effective, 4 if super effective, and 8 if 4× super effective. In the defensive method, 2 points are awarded if the attack is resisted, 4 if 4× resisted, and 8 if ineffective. 2 points are deducted if super effective, and 4 are deducted if 4× super effective. No points are awarded or deducted in any other scenario. For the purposes of this calculation, type matchups that are not super effective against Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} are ignored (no points are awarded or deducted), and {{type|Ground}} attacks are considered to be neutral against Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.

==In the anime==

In the Battle Dome, challengers have to defeat the Dome Ace in a [[Double Battle]]. They are given the possibility of swapping their [[party]] Pokémon with ones they have in storage after the [[Frontier Brain]] has revealed his Pokémon. After a tough match, Ash managed to defeat Tucker using his {{AP|Corphish}} and {{AP|Swellow}}. This victory gave Ash the [[Symbol|Tactics Symbol]], his third Frontier Symbol overall.

==In the manga==

The Battle Dome first appeared in ''[[PS319|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume I]]'', where {{adv|Emerald}} challenged it as his fifth Battle Frontier facility during the Battle Frontier's seven-day opening ceremony. Due to the tournament-style structure of the challenge, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were shipped from the [[Hoenn]] mainland over to the Battle Frontier to participate in it to avoid endless {{pkmn|battle}}s between computer-controlled virtual Trainers. Amongst the participating Trainers were {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, who tried to make friends with Emerald, much to his annoyance.

During the semifinal battle between Ruby and Emerald, Ruby revealed that [[Emerald's Sceptile]] was the very same {{p|Treecko}} that Emerald had once been supposed to receive from [[Professor Birch]]. As Emerald defeated Ruby and Sapphire was defeated by Tucker, Emerald and Tucker were set to face each other in the finals. However, Emerald abruptly requested the permission to swap his [[party]] Pokémon with ones from {{adv|Crystal}}. Although this was against the rules, Tucker allowed it. However, Emerald's borrowed {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Metagross}} both wound up getting defeated by Tucker's {{p|Charizard}}, resulting in Emerald's first loss at the Battle Frontier.

The Battle Dome appeared in ''[[CBF4|Introducing the Frontier Brains!]]''. After learning about [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{OBP|Enta|CBF}} decided to challenge each of them, starting at the Battle Dome. After achieving a long-enough win streak, Enta came face to face with Tucker, who challenged him to a [[Double Battle]]. After a tough match, Enta was able to defeat Tucker with his {{TP|Enta|Vulpix}} and {{p|Feebas}}. At first, Tucker was unwilling to admit that Enta could've beaten him with a Pokémon as ugly as Feebas, but he changed his mind when Feebas evolved into {{p|Milotic}}.
