{{cleanup}}
'''Flat Battle''' (Japanese: '''フラットバトル''' ''Flat Battle'') is a battle mode introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In a Flat Battle, all Pokémon that are above level 50 temporarily become level 50, regardless of their current level; however, Pokémon below level 50 will remain at their current level.
'''Flat Battle''' is a battle mode exclusive to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} for wireless battles. It temporarily sets the player's Pokémon to Level 50 upon entering, similar to the cap at the [[Battle Tower]] - including when it is accompanied by the remainder of the {{si|Battle Frontier}} facilities. However, unlike the Standard Cup and other rule sets for wireless battles, the Pokémon can be of any level before entering.


====Quotes====
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is found at the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum after the {{player}}'s childhood friend ({{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}) has shown them how to catch {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Generation V]], it is found at the [[Union Room]]. It is similar to the Level 50 Flat rule in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. In [[Generation VI]], it is instead known as '''Flat Rules''' (Japanese: '''フラットルール''' ''Flat Rules'') and is accessed through the Battle function of the [[Player Search System]].
'''Pokémon Center Receptionist'''
:"Flat Battle is for Pokémon over Lv. 50."
:"All Pokémon will become Lv. 50 for the battle."

==Generation V and VI==
In [[Generation V]], if the player sets the battle rules to Flat Battle in the [[Union Room]], several other rules will automatically be enforced that are not present if "No Restrictions" is selected. In [[infrared]] battles, a different set of rules are automatically enforced, which are called "Normal Rules" in Generation VI; while the player is not restricted from selecting battles if they have an insufficient number of Pokémon in their party, the battle will simply become a Single Battle (if a player only has 1 Pokémon) or a [[Double Battle]] (if the player with the fewest Pokémon has 2).
 
In [[Generation VI]], there are three different rule options in the [[Player Search System]]'s "Battle" option: Normal Rules, Flat Rules, and No Restrictions. If Flat Rules is selected, several other rules will automatically be enforced that are not present if Normal Rules or No Restrictions is selected.
