'''Battling into the Hall of Fame!''' (Japanese: '''チームバトル！殿堂入り決戦！！ ''' ''Team Battle! Competing for the Hall of Fame!!'') is the 42nd episode of the {{series|XY}}, and the 841st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on September 4, 2014 and in the United States on November 1, 2014.

On day six of the Pokémon Summer Camp, the final event, the {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} competition, has started. [[Professor Sycamore]] begins by explaining the tournament, and mentions that the top two teams - Team Froakie ({{Ash}} and his friends) and Team Squirtle ({{an|Tierno}}, {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Trevor}}) - are at equal points. Back at the lodge, {{an|Clemont}}, Trevor, Shauna and Tierno explain to Ash, {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Bonnie}} that a Team Battle involves battling as a team using various types of formations.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, still disguised as chefs, are spying on the group. They plan to steal Team Squirtle's {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}}, {{TP|Trevor|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Shauna|Bulbasaur}} so that they will be able to lure in Pikachu who will be bound to come and rescue them. But using the stolen Pokémon as a shield, they plan to catch Pikachu who will be unable to attack Team Rocket. They are then summoned by [[Madame Catherine]] who asks them to cook food, but as she leaves, they reveal that they will no longer be acting as chefs at the Summer Camp. Team Rocket then approach Tierno's group. As 'kudos', Team Rocket offer their Pokémon a health check-up, lying that [[Nurse Joy]] is busy with Pikachu and the others. The three hand over their Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbsaur into a cart. Team Rocket then run off into the woods, and Jessie commands {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} to use {{m|Leech Seed}}, trapping Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur inside the cart.

** This segment replaced Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster due to the upcoming [[SS031|Mega Evolution Act II]].

* This is the first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] in the anime to be a [[Triple Battle]].

** This is also the first time since ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' that an [[eyecatch]] relating to a guessing game featured a human character.

* The point rating system used during the Pokémon Summer Camp continues to be inconsistent with the points seen being given on screen. Before the Team Battle tournament, Professor Sycamore states the highest ranked teams are Team Froakie, consisting of Ash and {{ashfr}}, and Team Squirtle, consisting of Tierno, Trevor and Shauna, with both teams having 13 points. However, in the previous episodes of this arc Team Chikorita was shown to have obtained at least 24 points (which would mean that, even though Team Froakie won the last activity, winning 10 points and as such the whole Pokémon Summer Camp, they would still have one point less than Team Chikorita). Also before the Team Battle tournament, Team Charmander was shown to have obtained at least 13 points, the same amount as Team Froakie and Team Squirtle, yet they weren't said to be tied with them.

* In the dub, after Bulbasaur was knocked out by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Electro Ball}}, Professor Sycamore didn't state that Bulbasaur was unable to battle. However, his lines were left in the closed captioning.
