In a Double Battle, two teams of two Pokémon face each other in battle. One Trainer may control both Pokémon on either side of the battle, or two Trainers may cooperate on one or both sides of the battle, each controlling their own Pokémon (meaning that anywhere from two to four Trainers may take part in a Double Battle).

Some {{cat|Double Battle Trainer classes|specific Trainer classes}}, such as {{tc|Sis & Bro|Sis and Bro}} and {{tc|Teammates|Sr. and Jr.}}, automatically engage the player in Double Battles; in [[Generation III]], they will only battle if the player steps on the tile directly in front of them, from [[Generation IV]] to {{gen|VI}} they can move towards the player to initiate such battles, and in [[Generation VII]] they can battle the player from afar but remain stationary (like all other Trainer classes in those games). If the player has only one conscious Pokémon, Trainer classes who will only engage the player in Double Battles will ignore the player and comment that the player should bring two Pokémon to battle them with.

From {{game|Emerald}} to [[Generation V]] (as well as in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}), two independent Trainers who see the player at the same time will engage the player in a Double Battle. If the player has only one conscious Pokémon, the two Trainers who see the player at the same time will take turns battling the player in two Single Battles, with the second Trainer approaching and battling the player immediately after the first Trainer is defeated.

In {{g|Colosseum}}, all battles that the player participates in are battled as Double Battles. The only way to engage in a Single Battle in Pokémon Colosseum is to do so in battle mode. However, the player does watch a Single Battle between [[Eagun]] and [[Skrub]].

In {{Pokémon XD}}, the majority of battles are Double Battles, similar to Colosseum. However, the first two battles in the game—against [[Chobin]] and [[Naps]]—are Single Battles, as are all wild battles and one optional battle against a {{tc|Supertrainer}} at the entrance to the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]]. Some Trainers in [[Mt. Battle]] only use one Pokémon, so it is possible to battle them in a Single Battle. The player also watches two Single Battles involving [[Zook]]—one with [[Ardos]] and one with [[Biden]].

In [[Generation V]], many routes contain {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, in which the player has the ability to encounter two wild Pokémon at a time, initiating a wild Double Battle. Similar to the wild Double Battles of Generation IV, it is impossible to use a [[Poké Ball]] to catch a Pokémon unless the other Pokémon is knocked out first.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, every Trainer at [[Blueberry Academy]] (excluding the {{DL|League Club Room|Special Coaches}}, aside from [[Ryme]]) is exclusively fought in a Double Battle.


The HP of Pokémon is not displayed numerically on the player's side in Generation III and Generation IV handheld games—only the bar will be shown to save screen space. The numeric amount of HP can be toggled with the Start button.

===Effects on moves===
===Effects on moves===
Several different [[move]]s are made specifically for Double Battles, such as {{m|Helping Hand}}. Some others, such as {{m|Surf}}, can have noticeably different effects. In Generation III, if there is more than one target, moves that can hit both foes (but not moves that hit all Pokémon on the field, such as {{m|Earthquake}}) have their damage reduced by 50%. In subsequent games, if there is more than one target, any move that can hit multiple Pokémon has its damage reduced by 25%. This damage reduction takes effect if there are multiple targets when the move is executed whenever or not they would take damage from the move due to typing or ability immunities; empty slots that have no Pokémon are required for a multi-hit move to not deal reduced damage.

This damage reduction only takes effect if there are multiple targets when the move is executed; only a slot with no Pokémon in it does not count as a target. For instance, a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Levitate}} counts as a target for {{m|Magnitude}}, even though they cannot be hit by the move under normal circumstances.


The moves {{m|After You}}, {{m|Quash}}, {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{m|Ally Switch}}, {{m|Follow Me}}, {{m|Rage Powder}}, {{m|Aromatic Mist}}, {{m|Hold Hands}}, and {{m|Spotlight}}<!--maybe others--> have no effect in Single Battles, but do in Double Battles.

However, Red and Blue managed to reach the end of the corridor simultaneously, meaning the battle ended in a tie.
