A Colosseum is a large arena in which Pokémon Trainers can come and battle with other trainers in tournaments.

In Pokémon Battle Revolution, there are a total of eleven different Colosseums scattered around Pokétopia, each with their own distinct themes and rulesets, and are all led by either a Colosseum Leader or Master.

All Colosseums start out with a Lv. 30 Open rule, which states that all opponent Pokémon will match the highest level Pokémon on the player's team, and at minimum will be level 30.

After beating Stargazer Colosseum for the first time, the Lv. 50 All rule is unlocked, which makes all competing Pokémon level 50. In addition, colosseums led by a Colosseum Master will change their rulesets to a new method of play.

Colosseums

Gateway Colosseum

Main article: Gateway Colosseum

The Gateway Colosseum is located just off of the coast of Pokétopia's main island. It is shaped similarly to a four-leaf clover, with spectator seating in each "leaf" and the battlefield in the middle. Between the four spectator seating areas, pipes release water in staedy streams, creating several miniature waterfalls around the perimeter. Under each seating area, there appears to be some sort of inflated buoyancy system, giving the impression that the Colosseum actually floats on top of the water. Battles here are always held at night.

The focus of this Colosseum is on rental battles. Only rental passes may be used to battle here, limiting the player to a total of 12-36 Pokémon to choose from, depending on how many passes they have already acquired. Once unlocked, the player can also choose to use new rental passes, and if they complete the Colosseum using the new passes, they acquire the pass for use in other Colosseums.

The Colosseum is led by Colosseum Master Joe, who does not specialize in any one type of Pokémon, although he does use a lot of Template:Type2s.

After the main game, the Colosseum switches format to a "Trade Battle" style. After each round, the trainer has the option of trading one of the Pokémon they used in the battle with one of the opponent's Pokémon.

Main Street Colosseum

Main article: Main Street Colosseum

The Main Street Colosseum appears to be located within the main city on the island. Is appears to be a giant raised platform above the road, decorated with several balloons. Large balloons depicting Pachirisu and Bidoof can be seen in the background. Battles here are always held during the day.

The focus of this Colosseum is simply a regular knockout battle, with each person trying to defeat all of their opponent's Pokémon first.

The Colosseum is led by Colosseum Leader Taylor, who specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon and status conditions like Attract, Sleep, and Paralysis.

Waterfall Colosseum

Main article: Waterfall Colosseum

The Waterfall Colosseum is located on the north side of Pokétopia. Battles take place in an old stone ruin on a cliffside overlooking the ocean. A huge waterfall flows down from the top of the mountain past the battlefield. In addition, small riverbeds have been carved out in the stones to create several smaller waterfalls around the arena. Battles here are always held during the day.

The focus of this Colosseum is on "Team Battles", in which each battler chooses five Pokémon to go into a series of one-on-one battles, with each victory gaining a point for the team. The first to three points wins that round and advances to the next person.

The Colosseum is led by Colosseum Leader Marina, who specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon.

Neon Colosseum

Main article: Neon Colosseum

The Neon Colosseum is in the west part of the city. The arena is a balcony suspended high over the ground by a tall building. The arena is lit up with several differently-colored lights. Battles here always take place at night. A transparent dome covers the main stage of the battlefield.

The focus of this Colosseum is on "Fortune Battles". Before each battle, all of both the player's and opponent's Pokémon are placed onto a roulette wheel. Starting with the player, each battler gets a chance to obtain one Pokémon from the roulette wheel, although the Pokémon obtained is dependent on the player's timing and luck. After all the Pokémon for battle have been selected, the battle starts, with trainers potentially facing their own Pokémon.

This Colosseum is led by Colosseum Leader Rosie, who specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon.
