Battle Competition (Japanese: バトル大会 Battle Competition) is a mode in the Generation V games that allows players to participate in competitions with other players. It can be accessed from the main menu. Upon registering a team from the Battle Box, it is locked and cannot be changed for the duration of the tournament. Each participant is given a Digital Player ID upon registering for the competition.
In the Generation VI and VII games, the functionality for Online Competitions was moved to the Battle Spot, and the main menu option was reduced to handle only Live Competitions.
