The introduction of the [[Vs. Seeker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} allowed the player to conveniently locate and identify Trainers within an outside area who were ready for a rematch, giving more control over who and where the player wanted to battle. The Vs. Seeker is charged by taking 100 steps, thus reducing the timespan a player has to wait between each rematch (as opposed to waiting for a call).

In addition to the Vs. Seeker, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}, certain Trainers can be challenged daily at [[Seven Stars Restaurant]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, players may also fight the maids in the 5-Maid Knockout Exact-Turn Attack Challenge in {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Besides that, in {{game|Platinum}}, several Trainers appear in [[Pokémon Centers]] of different cities who can be battled every day. Their particular location changes daily.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the upgrades for the teams of the Trainers that can be re-battled are fought in three different rematch phases. The requirement for going to the next phase is to face each rematch phase, as well as getting past a certain point in the game. While the first phase is accomplished from the first rematch, the second phase's requirement is that the player must defeat the Elite Four, and the final phase's requirement is for the player to have all sixteen Badges. For example, Youngster [[Joey]]'s {{p|Rattata}} becomes a {{p|Raticate}} for the first rematch, and its level increases further during each rematch phase.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Trainers in the [[Battle Chateau]] can be rematched, but regular Trainers cannot. Like the Breeders in [[Unova]], their teams remain unchanged.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the Trainer's Eye function returns, but unlike Generation III, Trainers are ready for a rematch more frequently.

Gym Leader rematches were first introduced in [[Generation III]] in {{game|Emerald}}. However in [[Generation IV]], Gym Leaders were not available for rematches in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the Gym Leaders can be rematched to a [[Double Battle]] only via the [[PokéNav]]'s {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}}. The player must have defeated the [[Elite Four]]. Unlike unique Trainers, the hidden game mechanic works differently on them.

In all games, being defeated by a legendary Pokémon does not cause it to disappear. In all games in which [[roaming Pokémon]] exist, [[Escape|fleeing]] from them does not cause them to vanish; the game simply behaves the same as if they were the ones to flee.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, if the player flees from a stationary [[legendary Pokémon]] it will reappear upon leaving and re-entering the room, unlike the previous games where a stationary legendary Pokémon could only be encountered once. The game informs the player that "The <sc><Pokémon></sc> flew away!"

In Pokémon Platinum, if the player defeats or flees from a stationary legendary Pokémon, it reappears after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] again. If the player defeats a [[roaming Pokémon]], the player must re-trigger the event which caused it to start roaming; for example, the player must talk to [[Professor Oak]] to cause a [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] to resume roaming. If the player flees from or defeats [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} in the [[Distortion World]], it will reappear in [[Turnback Cave]] in its Altered Forme, where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon.

This was extended to all stationary Pokémon ([[red Gyarados]], {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Snorlax}}) in HeartGold and SoulSilver. If {{p|Suicune}} is defeated or fled from, [[Eusine]] will comment on this fact, and it will instead reappear at the [[Burned Tower]], where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon. If {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}} or {{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}} is defeated or fled from during the storyline, the [[Kimono Girl]]s will comment on this fact then leave, but the two still behave like all stationary Pokémon.

In Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} must be caught; defeating, fleeing or losing to the Pokémon does not cause it to disappear, and the story cannot be progressed until it is caught; instead, the player is warped back to the {{un|Pokémon League}} [[Pokémon Center]] to try again. However, if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]], it is possible to progress without catching it. If this situation occurs, it will instead appear at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after defeating [[Team Plasma]], where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon. However, it will still not give any [[experience|experience points]] even in that situation.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, [[legendary Pokémon]] that have been battled must be fought again in order to be recruited. However, this is only true if the said legendary Pokémon is involved in the storyline.

In the Pokémon Ranger series, the [[Drowsy Guy]] will allow the player to re-do a memorable capture. In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, he allows the player to re-capture the [[legendary beasts]], while in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia|the sequel]], he allows the player to re-capture {{p|Darkrai}}. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Nema]] allows the player to re-battle several Boss Pokémon on a model of [[Dolce Island]] via the use of her "Many Times Any Time Capture Machine"

With the exception of the [[Orange League]], {{Ash}} has had to rematch at least one Gym Leader or [[Frontier Brain]] in each leg of his {{pkmn|journey}}. However, only once has he had a rematch with a [[Wattson|Gym Leader he has beaten]] that isn't in his {{ashfr|circle of friends}}. It is noted that the list does not list any match-up which is for training purpose.
