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 and Bro}} and {{tc|Teammates|Sr. and Jr.}}, automatically engage the player in Double Battles. Addtionally, from {{game|Emerald}} to [[Generation V]], two independent Trainers who see the player at the same time will also trigger a Double Battle. 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; 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 a Double Battle, two teams of two Pokémon face each other in battle.

In {{g|Colosseum}} all battles that the player participates in are battled as Double Battles, without exception. The only way to engage in a Single Battle in this game is to do so in battle mode. The player does, however, watch a Single Battle between [[Eagun]] and [[Skrub]]. In {{Pokémon XD}}, however, the first two battles in the game — against [[Chobin]] and [[Naps]] — are Single Battles, as are all wild battles and one optional battle at the entrance to the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]]. The player also watches two Single Battles involving [[Zook]] — one with [[Ardos]] and one with [[Biden]]. | In {{g|Colosseum}} all battles that the player participates in are battled as Double Battles, without exception.

In [[Generation IV]], there are [[stat Trainers|five situations]] where the player is accompanied by an [[non-player character|NPC]]. In these situations, all wild Pokémon encounters will be Double Battles against two Pokémon. In such situations, it is impossible to use a [[Poké Ball]] to capture a Pokémon unless the other is knocked out first. The NPC Trainer will heal the player's team after every battle. | In [[Generation IV]], there are [[stat Trainers|five situations]] where the player is accompanied by an [[non-player character|NPC]].
