Multi Battle: Difference between revisions

A '''Multi Battle''' (Japanese: '''マルチバトル''' ''Multi Battle''), referred to as a '''Tag Battle''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル''' ''Tag Battle'') in the anime, is a type of [[Double Battle]] in which each of the four Pokémon is controlled by a separate [[Pokémon Trainer]].

In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting "Multi Battle".

In [[Generation VI]], the player accesses Multi Battles with the [[Player Search System]]'s Battle option. After selecting a connection type, the player must then change the number of players to four, and select three other players on the touch screen.

==In the anime==

In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', Ash and {{an|Cilan}} fought in a Tag Battle against {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}}, which Ash and Cilan lost despite fighting excellently. In ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', Ash and Cilan battled and won against {{an|Bianca}} and [[Professor Juniper]]. Ash and Cilan also fought together in a Tag Battle against two brothers named [[Soren and Rocko]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]'' and managed to win here as well. In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Ash and [[Nanette]] battled against Iris and Cilan, though the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket in their attempt to capture Pikachu.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', [[Monsieur Pierre]] prepared a surprise Tag Battle for the {{pkmn|Performer}}s attending his dance party. Entrants were given a card upon registration, and four of these cards had a special mark so the people who received them would take part in a Tag Battle. The special cards ended up with Ash, Serena, [[Miette]], and [[James]] and they faced off near the end of the party, with the team of Ash and Serena emerging victorious.
