A '''tag battle''' is a type of [[double battle]] where two [[Pokémon Trainer]]s team up against one or two others. Unlike regular double battles, there are no specific Trainer classes encountered for tag battles. Instead, two different Trainers must both see the {{player}} at the same time. For battles in the games' storylines, the player's opponents will usually only have three Pokémon each.

Unlike regular double battles, there are no specific Trainer classes encountered for tag battles. Instead, two different Trainers must both see the {{player}} at the same time. For battles in the games' storylines, the player's opponents will usually only have three Pokémon each. However, tag battles occurring by being spotted by a pair of unrelated trainers will occasionally lead to battles against more than six Pokémon. The player and their partner are only subject to such limitations in [[Battle Tower]]s, allowing both to potentially send out six Pokémon. | ||
