A Full Course Tag Battle! (Japanese: レストラン七つ星！タッグバトルでフルコース！！ Seven Stars Restaurant! Tag Battle for a Full Course!!) is the 76th episode of Diamond & Pearl. It first aired in Japan on April 24, 2008 and in the United States on September 13, 2008.

Ash and Brock have a reunion with their old friend, May, who is going to attend the Wallace Cup. They decide to have lunch in a well-known restaurant nearby, but the owner of the restaurant says that only the winners of a tag battle can enjoy the full-course meal.

Trivia

• Much like Misty's guest appearance in The Princess and the Togepi and A Togepi Mirage, May makes a return.
• An instrumental version of I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~ is used during the battle with Team Rocket. Pokémon Symphonic Medley is also used as background music.
  • On another note, I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~ was left in the dub as the background music for the first time.
• Roman seems to be based on the Rich Boy trainer class while Kylie is based on the Lady trainer class.
• Instead of Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to The Power of One. This is part of a countdown to Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin.
• The dub's title is similar to the Japanese title, as, since both have the same words, A Full Course Tag Battle! and Tag Battle for a Full Course!. There appears to be no English phrase that this title references, making it the first episode since Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis! to simply be a translation of the Japanese title.
• May was surprised when Ash said that he would be entering the Wallace Cup.
• Pikachu was the only Pokémon on Ash's team seen in this episode.

Errors
