Battleground

The Match Place (Japanese: しょうぶどころ Match Place) is a building, owned by Buck, located in the Survival Area of the Battle Zone, in Pokémon Platinum. After the Stark Mountain subquest with Team Galactic, players can rebattle Gym Leaders and battle the tag battle partners from earlier in the game. Up to four of these trainers appear each day and they can be battled only once a day.

Rival

Rival outside the Match Place

Even though the rival is not part of the trainers that appear in the café, he does appear just outside it and will battle the player every weekend (both Saturday and Sunday). His Pokémon get stronger as the game progresses, with his starter Pokémon eventually reaching level 85, the strongest trainer of any Pokémon game.

Trivia

• Many fans have come to know this place as the Top Trainer Café.
• During the time Gym Leaders appear here, they can still be found in their respective gyms. This is probably due to the café not being part of the main storyline; the game randomly determines which four characters can be challenged on any particular day.
• All the Gym Leaders but Gardenia, Maylene and Volkner have replaced their signature Pokémon (their highest-leveled Pokémon, which also holds a Sitrus Berry).
