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.

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; in [[Generation III]], they will only battle if the player steps on the tile directly in front of them, from [[Generation IV]] to {{gen|VI}} they can move towards the player to initiate such battles, and in [[Generation VII]] they can battle the player from afar but remain stationary (like all other Trainer classes in those games). 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.

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 {{Pokémon XD}}, the first two battles in the game—against [[Chobin]] and [[Naps]]—are Single Battles, as are all wild battles and one optional battle against a {{tc|Supertrainer}} at the entrance to the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]]. Some Trainers in [[Mt. Battle]] only use one Pokémon, so it is possible to battle them in a Single Battle. The player also watches two Single Battles involving [[Zook]]—one with [[Ardos]] and one with [[Biden]].


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.
From Generation IV onward, moves that target multiple Pokémon resolve in order of the target's respective Speed stats. If a Pokémon faints, it is not replaced until the end of the turn, rather than immediately after the Pokémon is knocked out, making it possible for a Pokémon's move to fail due to a lack of target if both of the opposing Pokémon are knocked out before it attacks.


Generation IV changes around the order of events slightly. Moves that target multiple Pokémon will now resolve in order of the Pokémon's respective Speed stats. Pokémon are also switched in to replace KO'd Pokémon at the end of a round of combat rather than immediately after a Pokémon is knocked out. It is now possible for a Pokémon's move to fail due to a lack of target if both of the opposing Pokémon are knocked out before it attacks.
In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, some [[non-player character|NPC]]s (most notably the [[stat Trainers]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}) accompany the player while they explore certain areas. In these situations, all wild Pokémon encounters are 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. The player cannot use movement-based [[field move]]s such as {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Rock Climb}} while accompanied by an NPC.


In [[Generation V]], many routes contain {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, in which the player has the ability to encounter two wild Pokémon at a time, initiating a wild Double Battle. Similar to the wild Double Battles of Generation IV, it is impossible to use a [[Poké Ball]] to catch a Pokémon unless the other Pokémon is knocked out first.

The HP of Pokémon will not be displayed numerically on the player's side in Generation III and Generation IV—only the bar will be shown to save screen space. The numeric amount of HP can be toggled with the Start button.

===Effects on moves===
===Effects on moves===
Several different [[move]]s are made specifically for Double Battles, such as {{m|Helping Hand}}. Some others, such as {{m|Surf}}, can have noticeably different effects. Moves that can hit multiple Pokémon have their damage reduced by 25%, unless there is only one target at the time the move is executed.

The moves {{m|After You}}, {{m|Quash}}, {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{m|Ally Switch}}, {{m|Follow Me}}, {{m|Rage Powder}}, {{m|Aromatic Mist}}, and {{m|Hold Hands}} <!--maybe others--> have no effect in Single Battles, but do in Double Battles.

The move {{m|Flame Burst}} takes away 1/16th of the maximum HP of the other Pokémon on the same team as the target Pokémon. This damage is not treated as an attack.

The move {{m|Acupressure}}, while in a Double Battle, can target the ally instead of the user.

{{outdated|section|needs=appearances in the HGSS chapter and onward}}
Double Battles were formally introduced into [[Pokémon Adventures]] in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, though multiple Trainers or Pokémon teaming up were common before. They first appeared in ''[[PS198|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun I]]'', when {{adv|Ruby}} challenges a {{p|Plusle}} and a {{p|Minun}}. They later appear in ''[[PS207|On the Loose and Hyper With Zangoose and Seviper I]]'' when Ruby and the {{tc|Swimmer}} are spotted by a {{p|Seviper}} and a {{p|Zangoose}}. In ''[[PS233|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I]]'' to ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} are fought in a Double Battle by several people as they try to calm down the storm that they created.


In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, two of the three returning lead characters fight between themselves in a Double Battle for the first time in the Battle Path of [[Ultima]], and eventually result in a tie when they reach the destination at the same time (the platforms they fight on may push them forward or back depending on whether they're attacking or taking one).

They later appear in ''[[PS207|On the Loose and Hyper With Zangoose and Seviper I]]'' when Ruby and a {{tc|Swimmer}} are spotted by a {{p|Seviper}} and a {{p|Zangoose}}. In ''[[PS229|You Can Fight Day or Night With Lunatone & Solrock]]'' [[Tate and Liza]] explicitly state Double Battle tactics during their battle with [[Blaise]], but are overwhelmed by their opponent's illusions.


Double Battles also make a few appearances in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. In ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]'', the two male main characters battle using a [[Tru|Torterra]] and an [[Chimler|Infernape]], while in ''[[PS374|Brash Bronzong I]]'' and ''[[PS375|Brash Bronzong II]]'', they battle against [[Cyrus]]'s {{p|Probopass}} and {{p|Magnezone}} in [[Mt. Coronet]], but constantly lose the upper hand.
In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, during the challenge set by [[Ultima]], {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} fight a Double Battle against each other in the Path of Battling. Here, the trainers are separated by a fence, and the floor they stand on may slide in either direction during the battle, depending on their performance. However, Red and Blue step out from the other end of the path at exactly the same time, meaning that the battle is tied.
 
Double Battles also make a few appearances in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. In ''[[PS362|Dramatic Drapion & Crafty Kricketune I]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Platinum}} battle two {{tc|Scientist}}s. In ''[[PS381|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim]]'', Diamond and [[Riley]] battle two {{tc|Roughneck}}s.
 
Since then, the only Double Battle officially called as such is the battle between [[Alder]] and [[N]] in the {{chap|Black & White}}.
