It is similar to the Battle Frontier featured in {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Hoenn]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. The key difference is the number of facilities and the challenges they hold. | ||

This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance. The Sinnoh Frontier is located north of the [[Fight Area]] in the place of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Park}}. The Johto Frontier is located west of [[Olivine City]], where the {{jo|Battle Tower}} was located in {{game|Crystal}}. Access to Johto's Frontier is through the [[Frontier Access]]. Each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities. Defeating the Frontier Brains will earn the player [[commemorative print]]s. | This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance.

The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It is the northernmost facility in the Battle Frontier, and has a direct path to it from the entrance. It is on a large, glass platform that elevates above all the other facilities, making it the head of the Battle Frontier. The same small boy who stands in front of the Battle Tower in {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's Battle Frontier}}, is also standing outside this one. | The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

The player battles seven | The player battles seven {{pkmn|Trainer}}s consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, their [[level]] reduced to 50. Players are not allowed to bring Pokémon with the same items here. Consumed items, such as [[Berry|Berries]], will be replaced after each battle. The player's Pokémon will also be healed completely after each battle. Players will then have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. The difficulty of battles here is based on how many rounds the player endures; the first round features fast opponents, the second round has opponent's Pokémon holding items, and starting in the third round, opponents begin to use strategic battle combinations. | ||
There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have. Multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose one among [[Riley]], [[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Mira]], and [[Marley]] as their partner, though in Platinum, they must be met in certain areas before they will appear in the Tower. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon [[Stats|stat]], and different Pokémon. There is also another feature that allows the player to randomly download a team using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which will then begin to appear in the player's Battle Tower challenges. One can also upload their team to the database to be downloaded by another player. | There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have.
